Dawn R. King

I am Dawn R. King. I am 35 years old. I have two beautiful teenagers of my own and have another living with me as well. I help take care of my father. Every time life gets hold of me, I start writing poetry. It only seemed right that my first book should be a collaboration of the inspirations that have kept me motivated through my darkest hours. I hope you enjoy every one of them and they inspire you as they have inspired me.

This book is dedicated in loving memory

To Mrs. Kay Harr

The one who had faith in me

And pushed me toward my dreams

Even when I was so young-

I finally paid attention

And I miss you

This book is also dedicated to the forces

That helped mold me into who I am today

Tim King—my exhusband, for showing me

That no matter what, you can’t take away

Someone’s dreams, only make them stronger

Mike Embree-for showing me who I

Needed to stand up and be and that

Which doesn’t kill me can only

Make me stronger

Edward Dickerson—for showing me how to stand

On my own two feet and opening me

Up to a world that was calling my

Name and I could never quite understand

Ceara Doneff—for always believing in me and keeping

Me on the right path even when I

Thought I wanted to give up

And last but not least

To my parents, Carol and Jerry Koyne

For being there for me when I needed help

And supporting me in the decisions I made

In my life—unconditional love

Crossroad

Standing at the crossroad

Of making my dreams come true

Glance back at the road I took

That got me where I am

Have to pause

And realize that I can

Take the path to lead me

Exactly where I want to be

Find myself stumbling

Not knowing what to do

Been so long to get here

Can I really walk on through?

Pausing to look at what I’ve become

Take a deep breath

Because my journey has just begun

Contract in my hand

Of everything I think I want

Do I take that leap?

Or decide it’s just a front?

Read the fine print

A hundred times over

Feel like I’m caught in the middle

Of a game of Red Rover

Hardest decision I’ll ever have to make

Biggest risk I’ll ever take

It all comes down

To a giant leap of faith

Do I have the courage

To follow through

With all the things I want to do?

Ask the people I love the most

Pray to my father, son and holy
