Toni Acevedo Poem
So far I know that the truth in
me
Tells me that it's so tangled
with the love I have for myself
and for my wife
She has lifted me when I had
doubt
I questioned where I was and
where I'm going
But she's there to hold me
tightly and say your great
I believe in you and will be by
your side everywhere you go
Without this I know I could not
do what I've done
Learning everyday to use my
voice for the good
To fight for GLBT rights and
social work justice
Those mean the world
We are here for a reason and
purpose
I didn't know before
I have grown to be aware
The beauty we hold within will
Keep us fighting and growing
For a cause bigger than
ourselves
Fight the fight and I shall talk
the talk

Toni Acevedo Poem
Two small dachshunds
Fill my soul
They have their own
personalities
One named Rocky
Cute silver dapple
Smiles as he runs
And eats with delight
The other named Gavin
A tiny terror as he thinks
He's bigger than his bite
His joyous times
Are also running and rolling
Chasing birds and anything
That moves
These are my loves as they
Continue to grow
I'm a proud dog parent
Seeing and being
With them
Brings me great joy

Toni Acevedo Poem
Equinox
Mother Nature
Minerals and ore
Sticks and stones
This is the time
Of year
To rejoice
Reflect
And give back
To the earth
Who hold us near
Protect us
This is the time
For a new beginning
A time of healing
Forgiving
Rejoicing
For today
Tomorrow
And future

Toni Acevedo Poem
Some people are naturally born
to grief losses in different ways
mourn friendships remember
the past in great detail and hold
onto them as if the reality of
yesterday is now today
People naturally evolve onto
their own growing
maturing
rectifying past mistakes
and becoming better people
others stay stuck in old
patterns of being.

Toni Acevedo Poem
Your words pierce through
My inner core
Heart melting and defying
Gravity
Hearing your sweet voice
Takes me into another
Realm of consciousness
I hear my heartbeat
Smell the air
Touch your soft skin
And here I am
With this happiness
Smiling from ear to ear
Looking at you
And realize you and I
Are soulmates
Together again from past lives
I'm happy we found each
Together

Toni Acevedo Poem
We have aspiration
Some day soon to have
Our little one
We are a gay couple who
Want to be loving parents
Raising a child
Providing guidance and love
Security and confidence
Sharing and growing
We want our child to
Understand the complexity
Of life
And how to navigate in it
I've always dreamt of a future
son whose name will be
Called Jaire
Soon he will be with us
As we are getting one
Step closer to making
This reality a dream come true
His love and our love will
Be showered in this world
We can't wait for this
Time we will hold him
Loving and sharing
Sharing and loving
We can't wait to
See our future child
Our future son
We love you already
Your with us
We can't wait to
See you

Toni Acevedo Poem
I often ponder what it
Means to exist in this world
Are people destined to live
A life of luxury
Are others born to suffer
Am I here to learn a lesson
Of humility and resiliency
I fight everyday to get
A little ahead
I've always dreamt of
greatness
It hasn't been easy in
My 34 years in this earth
I have one bachelors
Two masters and still
Have not reached my goal
Of financial security
Am I destined to struggle
Or does one have to put
In the many hours
Meet the right people
And have luck to earn
A decent living to not
Only pay for expenses
But to travel buy what one
Wants and still have extra
I've always dreamt of my
reality
As one with success
Financial freedom
And increase confidence
Waiting for this day
Growing impatient but
One must dream and have
hope
For the world has no
explanation
It is what it is
One is destined
And one is made to be great
I'm ready and going full
Throttle ahead
For this ride we call life!

Toni Acevedo Poem
Somewhere I know
There is a reason
For this suffering
At times headaches
From people who
Are not conscious
Of what they say
And how they say it
Everyday stress
Bills
Financial barriers
Can I get there
Why must I have to wait?
I see others buy a home
Buy a car
Go on vacations
Even have kids
I'm here waiting and waiting
Somewhere
Somehow
I can't wait for this
To be me
In the meantime
I meditate and
Say somewhere
Somehow
Someday
