Excerpts from 'THE PASSION WITHIN'...
A POEM FOR HER
itz p0rin rain,
az she standz there under an umbrella,
with eyez that sayz, 4ever in deep th0ughtz....
and a smile, that fr0m that day....

i stand, and stare fr0m a distance,
struggling 2 lo0k away.........
thinkin that s0mthin s0 beautiful,

and i just d0nt wanna get in tha way.......
s0 i'll just walk past, tip my hat,
and keep that white r0se behind my back.......
and walk back 2 yesterday -
and thank GOD, 4 sh0win me that tha sun can shine
even on dark dayz.........

SOMETIMES I CRY
Sometimes I cry, late at night
When I’m all alone, no one to hold me tight
Wondering what is my purpose, by and by
And if it makes much difference whether I live or die?
As I struggle along, working each day
It seems that I’m not making much headway.
It is only for my children that I strive
To keep pushing on, and stay alive.
The pain I have suffered throughout my life
Keeps playing through my mind, the stress and strife.
Why is this emptiness constantly eating at me
With no end in sight; it just won’t let me be.
Abuse from the hands of one I had once loved so dear
Had me walking on eggshells, living in fear.
The scars from such I still bear to this day
And even after fifteen years, they still haven’t gone away.
Even now, when my family holds things from the past
Against me, causing me to feel like an outcast
All I can do is recoil in my soul and retreat
To my neutral corner, and lick my wounds in defeat.
What keeps me going today is the look in my children’s eyes,
Who love me unconditionally, as if I’m some great prize.
I’m just a Mom, who tries to give them more than
I had, without much help from family, or from some man.
The pressure to succeed seems so overbearing
And doing this all alone takes its toll on my very being.
To those who may be weaker, this life isn’t worth the fight
As for me, I still stand strong so this is why
Sometimes I Cry…

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
