Wendell Hockaday Poem
I actually found something to look forward to.
I was so deppressed and lost with no direction.
And then it happened; my mind flashed and took me away from my present state.
I started to hear light jazz playing and I was in a room softly decorated.
A shape appereared and although I couldn't see her face, I felt her presence and her sent I
could almost taste.
She walked towards me and the mysterious face began to take a vicarious shape.
She smiled at me and my heart started to beat; and right away I knew she was my future
wife I had yet to meet.
And then my mind came back to its senses, and I awoke from my day dream.
For when I meet this woman, if I can spend atleast one minute with her; the pain of the
love I've lost I'm willing to endure.

Wendell Hockaday Poem
If you are me you would never stab a friend in the back; I am what a mother bear is to her
cubs, while they are still whelping; You display me when you stay at a lesser paying job that
gave you a start, when a higher paying job seeks you; I am what your father is to your
mother if he has never cheated on her and has always been there for her; No matter how
much money you try to spend on me, you'll never really be able to buy me; I am harder to
find than a winning lottery ticket that says "I'm a winner, please try me"! Who am I? I am
Loyalty.

Wendell Hockaday Poem
Everybody wants me but they can't have me; I am earned not given; If you do this to
yourself you will have self esteem and morals; How can you say you know me, and not show
me towards your mother or father; If you have me, no matter where you go or what you do
you can hold your head up high; If you want me you must earn me and I will stay with you
until you die; If you try to show me to every one, every one should show me to you; If you
do this to GOD your life line will remain true; Everybody wants me but they can't have me;
What am I? I am Respect!

Wendell Hockaday Poem
If you have me you shouldn't worry; You can't earn me and you can't buy me, but you can
trust in me and live by me; If you have me no matter how bad the situation is you know its
gonna be alright; If you know me then I know you, If you've showed me then I've showed
you too; I am more than a word, I am the very essence of a belief; If you have me in
Christ, you will have eternal life; I am immpossible to see, yet if you have me, you trust me;
You can't trick me or lie to me, for I can only be if you try me; People say they have me, but
when trouble comes they deny me; If you truly know me, then your prayers will surely be
answered; What am I? I am Faith!

Wendell Hockaday Poem
I remember walking to sxhool cold with a cheap jacket, I remember going to bed hungry
cuz we just didn't have it; I remember being jumped and beat up because I was handsome
Hock, I remember fighting back and making the beatings stop; I remember watching my
little brothe and not knowing what to do, he had been burped, fead, and changed what else
could I do? I remember being left alone in the house and being really, really scared, thats
why now I'm grown and alone I leave the t.v. on and sleep in a chair; I remember my dad
left and was around 12, He might not have been a good father but I still needed and missed
him like hell!

Wendell Hockaday Poem
If you do this to your mother and father, your life won't be such a bother, and your days will
actually be longer; You can not buy me, and you can not take me; If you cheat on a test
when no one is around, you do not have me and you don't know me; If you seek me you will
find me and once you have me I can not be taken from you; I can only be given up by my
owner. What am I? I am Honor!
