Best Poems Written by Patrick Jang

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.
