Joseph Bradshaw Poem
I light up every time I see your face.
You're a very special part of me no one can ever replace.
The first time I held you to my chest, so close to my heart.
I knew there'd be a bond that would never fall apart.
I love you so much more than every cloud in the sky.
Always on my mind forever in my heart, my Shy.

Joseph Bradshaw Poem
In order to proceed, I must prevail.
In order to achieve this, I must excel.
I'm not a quitter,but for you I will.
Quit the ailments that make me ill.
So much at stake, sacrifices to make.
For you my son, I'll fight till I break.
But I am strong, so you better bring your best.
Until I have you with me, I swear I'll never rest.
I'm a man of my word,and I say this to you.
Never will I quit, I will do anything that I have to.
Nothing can stop me, this I know is true.
If it kills me I promise, that's what I'm about to do.

Joseph Bradshaw Poem
It's so damn cold, I cannot stop shivering.
It's not hard to feel what mother nature's delivering.
Bone numbing cold seeping all through my clothes.
No feeling left in my fingers or my toes.
There's not enough shots out there to warm up this belly.
And I know I can't live like this, you don't have to tell me.
But this is what I must endure until I can open a door.
And close this one, never to be opened I implore.
I will hold on to hope. Even if it's just a trickle.
Cause I refuse to sit here and become a human Popsicle.

Joseph Bradshaw Poem
So tired, so beat, but still have so much to do so it's back on my feet.
No one else will do it for me I learned that long ago.
Shits not gonna do itself time to pick up my things and go.
Work so hard for others, can't wait till I'm working for me.
Maybe then just for a second I could get some rest finally.
Till then it's gonna be wake up early, work real late.
No reason to argue, it's not up for debate.
If I'm going to make it, I'm gonna have to take it.
So this feeling of exhaustion I just have to shake it.
Maybe one day I won't have to work like this maybe win the lottery.
Think I think too much, me win the lottery! Definitely asking for too much. My apology.

Joseph Bradshaw Poem
Even though as I sit here and things aren't so tranquil.
I still have many reasons for which to be thankful.
I'm thankful for being able to get up in the morning.
I'm thankful for even the things that leave me in mourning.
I'm thankful for having a job and being able to save money.
I'm thankful for being able to have all these troubles and still be funny.
I'm thankful for having friends and family who love and support me.
I'm thankful for gods will giving me the chance to make me stronger.
And I'll be so thankful when I won't have to deal with live this way any longer.
Life is full of choices for it is up to you to choose.
It's always up to you whether you win or lose.

Joseph Bradshaw Poem
I'm not hurting, surprisingly I'm doing okay.
Of all the things I've been thinking, seldomly of you which use to be everyday.
I have to get better at being alone.
I'll never be any different if I can't do it on my own.
It'll take everything that I got, but I have to give it my all.
Cause I just can't stand here, and watch myself fall.

Joseph Bradshaw Poem
I am wondering if who of you out there really spent your day wisely.
Does anyone else think this way besides me?.
Of all the things you've done today, did you accomplish what you wanted?
If you had a problem, did you step back? Or confront it?
Did you wake up early to make sure the children had their lunches?.
Did you smoother them with love and hugs all in bunches?
When you seen that family stranded on the road this morning, did you stop and assist?
Or just think to yourself, man if that was me right now I'd probably be pissed?
When you woke up, did you go in to make a honest days pay?
Or are you one who goes out to make a dollar in any way?
When you were giving your task for the day, did put forth your all?
Or did you procrastinate, lollygag and stalk?
Did you do well on that exam you studied all night for?
Or just skate through the day thinking I wish I could be doing more?
Guess I'm just trying to see if you did all your deeds of the day without regret.
Cause time comes only every second, the next one, you might not ever get.

Joseph Bradshaw Poem
Our future
I’ll try for anyone who is true.
And if what you say is true, then there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for you.
For if it’s you that truly shows me how much you care.
Then it’s gonna be me who will always be there.
We have a chance for a life better then the one we had before.
And the problem and the hurt are something we could have and feel no more.
All you have to do is know that it is you the only one that I see.
And do the same as me for our future life to be finally free.

Joseph Bradshaw Poem
Here I am again it's one and I'm still awake.
How many more of these tormenting nights will it seem to take take.
Forced to relive every bad decision that I make.
Like the one I'm doing right now for goodness sake.
I know I shouldn't see, but somehow it always seems to be.
These demons sure know how to get the best of me.
I know I shouldn't pick up this bottle.
But the truths way harder to swallow.
Leaving the bottle empty and me just as hollow.

Joseph Bradshaw Poem
I'm no longer who I once was seemingly more like a shell.
How I ended up this way, well that's really hard to tell.
As I was brought up I endured much more than a kid should.
Leaving me with a perception of life, knowing more than a kid would.
Didn't really help, ended up always learning the hard way.
And the more I try seems that things just end in disarray.
I know that it's mainly because of bad decision making.
Masked behind a excuse to cover my self forsaking.
In other words I've always placed blame on things afar.
To try to cover up my self inflicted scar.
