Allow me to take a moment and thank the man who gave me life,
He is not my father, but another who showed me how to exist without fear and strife.
Unlike most stories of time it was not my heart he won,
But my spirit he awakened, so damage from adversity could be undone.
From the moment I saw him I knew his power was unlike others,
He spoke with truth and conviction
more then when wee babes learn from their mothers.
I saw him on his knees once pleading for change,
Speaking of how he loved every living thing
And the way people treated this beautiful planet was nothing short of deranged.
The ache in his soul when he felt his impact was on too small a scale.
It caused me such pain I couldn't help but wail.
But the weight of the world was no match for his shoulders,
He carried every ones dysfunction with a hope they would grow as they got older.
I listened to every word, and took them to heart
When you are lost for so long, even with a guide it is confusing where to start.
So I worked little by little each day,
With determination to prove I was learning a better way.
I took steps forward and then a few back,
But his consciousness was there each day to remind me about a new life hack.
I didn't want to take from him more than I could give,
But how do you ever reimburse someone that teaches you how to live?
So I honor you with my words, and my actions to follow,
With a new code of honor as part of my exist, I promise they won't be hollow.
With your trust in me, I will help you move mountains.
Ushering the world into this New Paradigm
Where life, love, and beauty spring forth from everything like a fountain.
This is why I do what I do. Grateful to see another life transformed for the better. That alone is worth it and fulfilling. To then read a beautiful poem such as this dedicated in honor is a bonus.
Blessings on the way and may your life continue to flourish in healthy beautiful blossoming happiness∞§∞
There will always be people who forsake what they have and there will always be people with the wisdom to live in gratitude for every amazing day. May I never lose my wisdom is the only wish I have now :-)
Thank you Quinn.
Wisdom when gained is not easily lost~*~
YES
Please Universe, may it never be forsaken!
Thank you Kim for reminding me 💛
Thanks Quinn for unparalleled existence 💖
I know you can relate to that line @saramiller. You and I are very similar in that way!
What a beautiful testament to someone who has touched your soul -may you go to great heights. Love the poem
Thank you very much. I always thought I didn't have the ability to communicate with people, I just never had the right medium before. Yet one more thing I was able to find within myself because of the dysfunction @quinneaker has helped me remove! So very grateful for him!
It sounds like you are part of the @gardenofeden community @kimberleighfl I don't know much about it but I have seen some cool pictures of it on Steemit.
Yes I am! A truly amazing place and I would suggest you research it as much as possible. If you can't be the change you want to see in the world then contribute to those who are ! 💗
I am interested in @gardenofeden based on the fact that it seems to provide shelter for people who would otherwise be homeless. It's concerning that one of the people he sheltered stabbed him but it's still a nice concept. I am personally scared for my son and the future of the middle and lower classes since wages have not increased in over a decade but expenses have. If you could tell me more about @gardenofeden and the requirements needed to be a part of it I would really appreciate your help!

Wow how beautiful! You got me crying over here!
