Analysis of Legacy



as a child I had dreams with visions in my mind
 I sought peace from nature & grasp meaning of words
 asking a lot of questions along life's journey
 my grandma always said, "Why be in a hurry".
 I drew pictures in the sky of kings and queens
 far off places with dungeons and dragons.
 always reading book with story's of adventure
 in time I would venture to my swing & sing
 although many years have passed still having every reason to grasp a hold of my legacy
 a willingness inside to achieve
 then the seasons have chamged i was in my teens
 had a fascination with girls but it was only out of lust
 I was in quite a rush until I caught mono & had to go to the hospital
 all I wanted to be was on center stage so I became lead in my play
 that event made everyone's day i must say then i was prom king
 there was a working in me at the fall of 1989
 I decided to write my first poem, "Remembrance Of A Loved One".
 based on the break up with my first girl friend named Michelle
 that poem was a great story to tell
 then it was the changing of the season & out came nine eleven with the twin towers
 filled with sorrow I poured myself into writing instead of hiding
 all the time leaving behind a legacy by which to achieve
 then my father died & i was said again
 yet over time i would shine through the sorrow & pain
 my creative writing was always free verse yet i also wrote prose
 that leads into today where I'm on display
 having 2, 000 poems toward my platform
 writing on various topics of religion, nature & suspense
 yet i still haven't made a dent
 still each day i pray to the good Lord up above that he would shape me into a legacy
 this is my humble plea so check my writings out
 it will give you pause to reason what it is I'm talking about
