Provided below is a poem of mine titled "Night Train." "Night Train" is a song about dignity, pride, and hope. I would like to dedicate this poem to the wonderful people who support ADAPT!

NIGHT TRAIN
The night train out and running
Surely considers the distant stars,
Tickets and reservations are canceled
Due to an anticipated jubilee celebration.
Looks just like Saint Elmo's fire
Travelers are few and the miles many
Carries no baggage of pain or sorrow,
And confusion is left with the keeper at the gate.
So when the night train out and running
Brakes for its final destination,
All riders will begin to dance and sing
Because it's going to be that glory station. ~

I have written a manuscript of unpublished poems titled "Reflections on the Human Condition." Someday, and somehow, perhaps I will be able to find a publisher who might have an interest in the previously described.
I have always hoped that my poetry would be a vehicle via which I could improve my general life circumstances, and I still hold on to that dream.
