Let it go is all I can sayas I think of the pastand what was thereto let it go and livein the now and notlet the past hold me backand control meand leave me there.So let it go andbe a person of the nowand even the futureand not be held backby chains of pain,anger, frustrationand family and deedsundone or never helped.So if you hearme say LET IT GOnow you know,I am letting it goand not holding mefast to the past.To find my happy placeand think happy thoughtsand positive thingsand not other thingsand I can let the past go.Mike2016-----------P-Accept ME 2016

Step, step, step, but I look backand can not see the steps, and knowwhere I came from or where I am going,but yes, the steps are to big, to grand,and grandious no vision that goes backinto that fog behind, that far to seehow far they are apart, so I stepsmaller steps still as I step, andlook I can not see them all, no joy inthe seeing of them for they are still notthere in my minds eye.So smaller steps and on and on,and finally I find that just a smallstep, more a shuffle is what I needso I can see of how I bleed or howI go from place to place, lost, butnow I am found for in the steps small,I see where I am going, where I havebeen and can find joy in knowing thatI have stepped at all. And know, I amcompleting things doing things, makingsteps to improve my lot in life that Iam not walking in a fog or a bog of sandholding me fast but in a lane of my owncreation into the future, and the promiseof completion, of happiness in the doing,and knowing, of organized thoughts and dreamsnot lost in the morase of my own mind andhome, but links I can see now, visionsof things I have done and measure in myminds eye and memory now fast.Mike2004----------P-Walk Together
We shall walkthe road together,and hold each other upas we walk hand in hand,arm in arm, stride in stride,keeping each other happy,well and strong.Mike Adams2008(not complete?)------------P-I CHOOSE LIFE,
as I sit here in this chair,I choose to live, and faceall before me alive, andwalk in the light of happiness,joy and living people..To walk the sunshine pathand let the past go away andfall away.. and choose life!!Mike Adams2011Thank you Flossie and your welcome Mom.Still writing the above poem, until I can write no more.------------P-Friendship 2016
Friends, the dark days,the light day, the hard days,the nite times shared not out of lust,or desire, or even vice and degradationbut out of love,of companions and times shared,love between two people,not of lust or some base desire,but out of the need to be social,to share moments, words,comments and vents or just hugs,and being there, and to knoweach others pains and help,and to see the painin the others eyes and wish it gone,gone by sharing between two,not one alone.Mike2005/2015-----------P-Give Thanks
