Dan Leaver Biography

Hello and thanks for viewing my profile. I was born Daniel Leaver in the small town of padukah in western Kentucky in the fall of 1973. My birth father was lost in time, so all I know of him is his name, my mother remarried to the one I call dad. This man raised me and my brother as if we were his and he is truly the only man I will call my father. He taught me early on to be hard working, respectful, have morals and value. Not through money, yet through compassion for life and a genuine love of nature. I've learned much through my own trials and tribulations, through my words I wish to share and create, inspire and heal. Life is a dance we learn, they say, and I have fallen many times and will undoubtly fall again. When I was a boy of 14 we settled down in northern Indiana. I choose the hard ways of life, dropped out of school and married young at 22. I thought that if I worked hard I would find my independance and raise my family. when my son was just a yr old, my wife got pregnant, but not by me. So the divorce ensued as did custody and child support. Weekend visits were never enough I always wanted to raise him full time. My son is now 14 and lives with me, as I was recently awarded full custody.. so he is my life and my mission is simple, , to spread smiles and hope and leave a mark..Through my poems I offer insperation and hope.. I post them all on my blogspot bloggs http: //www.blogger.com/profile/13984633173448024743 Thank you for viewing my work, Hope you enjoy it..smiles)

The Best Poem Of Dan Leaver

Helpful Thinking

How do you say goodbye when there’s still so much left say,
with your thoughts and dreams on overload the words get in the way.
When someone special touches you like no one has before,
then something takes them far away and leaves you wanting more.
Your mind will make this hard on you and you wont understand,
when your broken hearts in pieces and its more than you can stand.
With depression closing in on you and sadness in your eyes,
you feel your world is closing in and clouding up your skies.
It's then you need to find the strength to look the other way,
be thankful for the time you shared and memories you made.
Our entire lives are filled with people that we choose to love,
from neighbors, friends and relatives to the good lord up above.
So if you have to say goodbye to someone that you miss,
no matter how it hurts inside you must remember this.
Your mind can change the mood your in as fast as you can blink,
so if hurts so bad inside just change the way you think.
