One Hundred and Seventy Two Ruts

6/20/16 I don't know about you but I made a few bucks And continued to do much New stuff When I finally grew up Through what Was a long journey, with one hundred and seventy two ruts In all honesty, not all speak the truth enough And it is sad that so many kids have no access to a toothbrush As well as an education or school bus I pray one day the words I chose enliven and enlighten On any island and side of the horizon So that senses will be heightened And futures can be brightened More than the luster of the world's finest diamonds During Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn Often Had my fair share of problems Some of which could've left me in a coffin Which is why I used my noggin Failure was just not an option By: Dalton Ogletree

I suppose everyone has their own style in their own way. Honestly, I would like to turn a lot of my writing into music and songs. Thanks for your input and feedback Darren :)!
