[hometext] => When my doctor told me I had cancer between my heart and lung, just a few days before my 60th B'day (last Aug.) I looked at my life thru what others see and started writing accordingly but, not one pity poem, that's not me. I've accepted it.
[bodytext] => I'm realistic enough to realize that I will never be in any history book, magazine, or newspaper unless I do something really great or really terrible ........ So I go about my life with my eyes on the prize and If it's His will, how far He will let me go on. I'm always thinking and sometimes I get my thinking confused with my prayers, It all runs in together but, God knows and sorts them out. He's good at it.....! This writing is just my thoughts of how I want to be remembered ...... Think about how they will remember you and live your life accordingly......? The worth of a man How can success be measured in a man By the net worth of his fortune ? By the possessions he displays ? By the vastness of the land he owns or by the notoriety he's achieved thru great deeds, if only to satisfy his own ego or greed. If I could choose something to make me successful it would be, to be thought of as an honest man a caring partner and father, and at the end to have but one good friend, and a loving family who will morn my passing and remember me ...... not as great, wealthy, or notable but, only as an honorable man.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
