I WON I WON

ONCE I HAD A SECRET LOVE

DEALING WITH THE DEVIL

WHO IS BOSS?

THE KIDS LAST FIGHT

Poetry Poem

WHAT INSPIRED ME

LAMENT NOT THE BEGINNING


Born fatherless except the day of birth
Known poverty but never have I been homeless
I have known the pains of poverty and pangs of hunger
But I have never been unloved
I have known loneliness but never been alone
I have been unemployed but never unemployable
I have known the privelige of wealth
But have never myself been wealthy
For my richness comes in enjoying my life
I have sweep the floors of the rich for pennies
Have handed a stranger one fourth of my days earnings
As a fatherless child I am not complaining
For the blessings I know have no need of explaining
Life from the beginning is what we make of our time on earth
And each childs beginning starts equal at time of birth
