POEMS WRITTEN ONLY STR8 FROM MY HEART, IN THE PUREST FORM, EMBRACE THE WORDS AND LEARN FROM THEM, THERE ARE MANY TEACHINGS...
"A PINNACLE OF JOYFULNESS..."
IN 2005 A DOCTOR SAID TO ME YOU WILL NEVER WORK AGAIN, THAT UNRAVELED MY WORLD AS QUICK AS I GOT HURT
IN A NA NO SECOND, THAT IS WHAT I WAS TOLD, HOW FAST THAT WAS?
QUICKER THAN YOU CAN BLINK YOUR EYE...
EVERY JOB I EVER HAD I LOVED, AND IF I DIDN'T, I CHALLENGED MYSELF TO OVER ACHIEVE AS I HAVE BEEN DOING SINCE I WAS A KID, WHEN IT WAS SAID, YOU WILL NEVER WRITE, AND IF YOU DO, YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WROTE...
EARLY ON IT WAS APPARENT TO ME THAT I WAS DIFFERENT THAT THE GENERAL POPULATION, I WAS BORN INTO SEVERAL LEARNING DISABILITIES, ONE IS THAT I HAVE A 6TH. GRADE LEVEL OF WORD COMPREHENSION...
I GUESS, I ALWAYS DROWNED OUT THE NEGATIVITY THAT WAS FORCED UPON ME, HELD BACK IN GRADE SCHOOL, BY THE TIME I GOT TO A MIDDLE SCHOOL, NO MORE CLASSES FOR THOMAS, I SPENT MY DAYS IN
THE COUNSELORS OFFICE OR IN THE GREEN HOUSE, THAT IS WHY I LOVE FLOWERS SO MUCH, GRINS...
SINCE, I WAS TOLD I HAD TO STOP WORKING AND I COULD NOT COLLECT A PAYCHECK, MY DREAM OF WINNING
THE BASSMASTERS CLASSIC, HAS FOUND ITSELF ON MY BUCKET LIST...
SO, NOWADAYS IF SOMEONE CALLS ME UP AND WANTS TO GO FISHING ON MY BOAT, I SAY, LET ME CHECK WITH THE MARINE FORECAST. MOST THE TIME, I AM JUST FEELING THE HUMIDITY IN THE AIR AND THE WIND DIRECTION, I WILL CALL YOU BACK...
IF, THE WINDS ARE LESS THAN 15 MPH, MOST THE TIME I WILL GO OUT...
THE FRIENDS SAY, WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING, THEY KNOW, NO ALCOHOL OR GLASS OF ANY TYPE...
BRING WHATEVER YOU WANT TO EAT AND DRINK, AND IF YOU HAVE SOME SPARE CASH, BOTH THE BOAT GAS TANKS, AND THE TRUCK IF FILLED UP IS $200.00. NO ONE HAS A PROBLEM FILLING THEM BOTH...
I LET EVERYONE USE MY POLES AND LURES I MAKE MYSELF, I GIVE THEM A LIFE PRESERVER, AND IF IT IS KICK - IN UP ON THE LAKE IT STAYS ON, ALL I SAY THEY HAVE TO DO IS LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO TEACH...
I LET THEM KNOW, TODAY WILL BE A GREAT DAY, I WILL FIND THE FISH AND PUT YOU ON THEM ALL DAY, WHEN YOU CATCH ONE, I HELP THEM GET IT TO THE BOAT, WITHOUT THEM LOSING IT...
1 DAY MY 2ND. DAD CALLED ME AND HE WANTED TO BRING ALONG 1 OF OUR FRIENDS, TED...
TED IS A YOUNG 90, IN THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY, I WHISPERED IN TEDS EAR AND SAID YOU WILL
CATCH THE BIGGEST FISH TODAY, BECAUSE I JUST GAVE YOU 1 OF MY FAVORITE COLOURS ON LAKE ERIE...
THAT PROVED TO BE A TOUGH DAY FISHING, I SAID BOYS I WILL MOVE 1 MORE TIME. SINCE WE HAD BEEN
FISHING FOR 8 HOURS, I SAID I WILL GO TO THE LAKE AND THE RIVER WERE THERE IS CURRENT...
I RE-TIED ON ANOTHER SHARP HOOK AND A NEW TUBE JIG, I SAID TED, MR. SMALL MOUTH WILL BE CAUGHT
NOW, TED CASTED OUT, IT HIT THE BOTTOM AND BAM THERE WAS MR. SMALL MOUTH BY THE WAY IT WAS
COMING TO THE TOP, I KNEW IT WAS CLOSE TO 5LBS, IN LAKE ERIE THAT IS A TROPHY FISH...
FOR A YOUNG MAN OF 90, A 2LB. BASS WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT, JUST TOO FEEL THAT PULL, I KNOW TED WAS THRILLED...
THE LOOK IN TED EYE'S, THE SMILE, THE LAUGH, THE ELDER WAS FEELING GREAT, I HELPED HIM WITH
LANDING IT, HE SAID WHAT NO NET? NOPE, WE WILL BE OK. TRUST ME...
I SAID WHEN THE LINE GETS ALMOST PARALLEL TO THE SURFACE TAKE YOUR ROD TIP AND JAM IT IN THE WATER, KEEPING A TIGHT LINE AT ALL TIME. TED DID THAT, I BENT DOWN AND LIPPED THE BASS...
I ASKED TED TO OPEN HIS BAIL, SO HE WOULD NOT BRAKE THE POLE, AND TOOK THE HOOK OUT FOR HIM,
AS HE WAS ADMIRING HIS CATCH I GRABBED A DIGITAL SCALE AND HELPED HIM WEIGH IT IN...
THEN OUT CAME THE CAMERA, I SAID TED SMILE, BETTER YET DO WHAT I DO, KISS THE FISH ON THE LIPS
A KODAK PICTURE WAS SNAPPED...
TED TOOK THE FISH HOME AND THEN RELEASED IT BACK INTO THE LAKE... 2007
JUST ANOTHER GREAT DAY, TAKING PEOPLE OUT, WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO SO, MAKES ME FEEL HAPPY, I USUALLY DO NOT EVEN FISH, I HAVE CAUGHT MY FAIR SHARE OF FISH IN MY SHORT LIFE TO THIS DATE...
