Passion

The old man stands by the aging gate Long forgotten by the rest of civilization His great eyes express his intention, his experiences To live his life fully A Child- born from Detroit Born youngest of a family of seven. Joined the Navy To explore abroad Worked hard While others dropped out of 12th grade Wanting more with his life A gallant path you would say. After his service He went ahead and explored The Countries The People The continents And everything in between Followed his dream To explore Closing his eyes he savors every moment Touching the old gate to his abode Then he remembers from one of his great travels “Don't look back, Look forward” He smiles And walks back to his house.
