Curtis Johnson Poet Prose Poetry

Keep Believing

Over and over again,
Time and time again,
Attempt after attempt
Was made to change the
very essence of me, and there
were too many times that even I
doubted me until one day, worn
and ragged, I kept to doing my best
With the gifts that God gave me.  I sat
at a makeshift desk and began to write.
Shortly thereafter, I looked to my left and saw
My best friend staring straight into my eyes.  I tell you,
My dog Jack gave me all the confidence I needed to keep
Writing.  I looked into the eyes of Jack staring at me, and without
a sound, he said to me, "You can do this, and I love you just the way you are".
