“All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.”

— Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Hope

There’s a pulsating energy

Thundering through my veins

A novel sensation

Baffling the brain

Peaks and Valleys

Embrace the rollercoaster, there is no escalator in life.

There is great thrill in being down,

Knowing there is nowhere to go but up;

And all that goes up, gravity will pull down.

U.M.B. 6/13/21 U.M.B. 6/13/21

Why should I apologize

For who I am,

Or who I’ve become,

Or what I’m becoming?

U.M.B. 3/11/19 U.M.B. 3/11/19

I pray with you

My comrade in arms

To have the courage to fight today

The next day
