    This Journey
    I run, but it's not to hide.
    I am running to here, It starts in my mind.
    Sure, I am the gypsy tonight.
    I wake in the morning to see the same light.
    I know where to go and I know where I have been.
    For this winter, I am like a bear in a den.

    Springtime is near and my thoughts do shine.
    The path I do travel seems to take a long time.
    It's like a storm that comes from the sky.
    I have had that feeling of wanting to die.
    It's not to find peace or escape the struggle within.
    It's the person I have become is where I can begin.

    Before I take this journey my thoughts must be clear.
    I know where I want to be and this coming is near.
    I stand before you fooled through my ragged clothes.
    To who I am, my wealth does not show.
    You never know the artist, but maybe by a poem.
    I am off on my journey, I will find my home.

    Tight work Chad just like the many emotions of a weary traveller, the season too change with you...

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
