Dedication

This poetry book is contributed to all the things that go on daily during my life as a person, a teacher, a son, father, and a grand dad. Things I see that happens in my surrounding professionally and personally.

Writing poetry is my way to relieve stress, relieve tension, and is the way I manage my angrier. It is my way of expressing my inner thoughts and to say what I really feel by keeping it real with the readers.

In this book as well as the other two everything written is reality, and tells a continue story about issues that effects everyday life, good, bad, happy, or sad. It expresses smooth occasions, rough occasions, romantic occasion, loneliness occasion, etc… This book is a tell it like it is poetry book. In this poetry book I say thing that most men or most people won’t say, are afraid to say. I go into a zone that most won’t go into, and I say it from the heart, and I express it from my soul.

My poetry books are about my inner thoughts. This book isn’t about disrespecting, degrading or singling anyone out, or putting anyone on blast, I just needed to express myself on paper.

I would like to thank Jesus Christ, the man above, because he has watched over me, and have taken care of me throughout my life on my journey of life. I would like to dedicate this poetry book to my three wonderful ladies in my life. My mom (Jeraldine Williams), my daughter (Kimberly), & my grand-daughter (Kameron Desiree). They are my rocks, and with the love from them I stay grounded, I stay focus, I stay and express who I really am.

I’ll like to thanks to my siblings, my nephews, my nieces, my true friends, my student/cadets from Guthrie/Brainerd High School for supporting me on my 1st, & 2nd Poetry Books. Thanks for putting up with my attitude, my lame jokes, and my entire test. I’m only hard on you because life itself will be hard; I want you to be ready to challenge society.

I’ll like to send a special thanks to my two army brothers for being there in the past, now here in the present and remain in the future (Kenneth Wayne Martin) & (Charles Gatlin) brothers for life.

MY MOM/MY QUEEN

I want the world to understand that there’s only one way I have grown and will grow,

I have to let everyone know,

this is real, it’s not a reality show,

she’s my # 1 girl in the whole wide world for shoo

I want to say it, demonstrate it and let it be seen;

I love my mom because she’s who I love,

and she is and will always be my queen.

Without her love I may not have turned out right,

without her caring and her guidance for me throughout my life,

I could have fell under the temptation and not seen the positive light.
