An inspirational poem about how anything in life is possible,you just have to believe to achieve as the saying goes…

My life seemed to be spiraling out of control
Down a three tier ladder
With not even a cent to pay the toll
Lying there with my face in a gutter
I wasn’t like those rich men
Hands on a putter
I was trapped like a bird in a cage
Chirping to be set free
Endlessly searching
For how this came to be
I had nothing
The only thing I could do was write
I kept a journal
Always keeping it in sight
Just a roof over my head was all I needed
I prayed for Gods help
And I succeeded
Inspired by this small miracle
I began to write
About the runaways on the street
About the dangers they were in at night
One of many
The first book written
Having it published
Left me smitten
All things are possible
The bird was set free
Recently I bought a homeless shelter
A big house by the sea
The image in the mirror
Yes that’s still me
Just a whole lot different now
But I will never forget
How it came to be
