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 and be 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 back and 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 back into that fog behind, that far to see how far they are apart, so I step smaller steps still as I step, and look I can not see them all, no joy in the seeing of them for they are still not there in my minds eye. So smaller steps and on and on, and finally I find that just a small step, more a shuffle is what I needso I can see of how I bleed or how I go from place to place, lost, but now I am found for in the steps small, I see where I am going, where I have been and can find joy in knowing that I have stepped at all. And know, I am completing things doing things, making steps to improve my lot in life that I am not walking in a fog or a bog of sand holding me fast but in a lane of my own creation 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 and home, but links I can see now, visionsof things I have done and measure in my minds eye and memory now fast.Mike2004 ----------P-Walk Together
We shall walk the road together, and hold each other up as 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,

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 degradation but 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 know each others pains and help, and to see the pain in the others eyes and wish it gone, gone by sharing between two, not one alone.Mike2005/2015-----------P-Give Thanks
