Regardless of who we are, we all have things in common,
no matter the obvious differences. We love, hate, feel sad, feel good, are content and regret. These truths are inescapable and cross all borders of race, color, age, and sex. As I've found out, life isn't always easy, yet there are moments, after the fact, when you can sit back and laugh at the situation.
Contained within, are poems I've written about some of these situations. They fall into three categories. Those personal to me, those about people I know and those that are completely fiction. In any case, you'll
come across a few that ring a bell with you, some will disturb you and others will shed a tear. Regardless as you read, and connect, if you haven't realized yet, you'll begin to see that life has it's ups and downs, it's good and bad times. You'll see that life is a
journey...

On a more personal note. Some of my writes are from memories of my own personal childhood and other youngsters early days, I in no doubt have some evil thoughts and some love and joy, in other words the duality of man and I'm not ashamed to write about these situations. Raised with twelve brothers and sisters. I was the black sheep. A hyperactive, yet generous child.
I write from youngest memories and see in my mind abuse issues, that leave myself drowning in sorrow. Spiritual in a sense
no longer religious but believe in a higher power, that someday we will answer to
I hope to write until my time is up.
Keep the peace in your heart
be grateful every day and true love will always
come your way with:
Salvation through Jesus Christ
Peace:
Always:
Matt
Not a word need be spoken
Nor a touch be felt
Just our feelings communicating
As it was my heart that you held
...
God, please turn back, the hands of time
again I call on you
I've neglected my family
turned my back on you too.
...
They arrive from destinations
Round' about the globe
Striving to attain success
Lugging sixteen pounds of reactive resin
...
Oh! sister, sister
your love endures
forever more
the score, you're survival
...
Happy fathers day, to you father
Lord of all creation
Crossing all borders
Blessing every nation
...
