jackie compton Poems

The greatest adventure starts with the smallest dream.
Dreams are the birth place of all adventures big and small.

Dreams are the vehicle that transport us through time and space.
...

I have reserved a very special place in my heart.
Just for you.
There is a bench for you to sit and rest.
It is shaded by the tree of love.
...

Even in the darkness of a dream.
The mind can still see.
...

Once a old man was asked by a child.
Why should an education matter to me?
Tell me what is the definition of an education.
Why is it so important?
...

It is the code of the warrior that demands more from himself
than others.
Whether he preforms in front of five, five hundred, or five thousand.
A warrior's code always call for him to give his all.
...

I sit and I wonder.
Why me?
Is it because my skin is dark?
Is because my eyes are not blue as the sky above?
...

Denial is a run that runs through every ones mind.
Down the mountain of reasoning.
It snakes it's way through the amber waves of reality.
Around the valley of common sense.
...

Can anyone here tell me how far is heaven.
Is it over yonder.
Or is it over there.
Are there any sign pointing in it direction.
...

You can spend all you time looking.
You can spend all your time searching.
For that one of a kind gift that say it all.
But never find it in a gift shop.
...

The greatest gift that one can give another.
Is a simple act of kindness.
It comes from the heart with no strings attached.
