    About this ebook

    This book is written by the inspirations from real people. There are sad moments of people who experienced tragedy. A young man leaves wife and kids, took a train north through sleet, hoping for a better tomorrow. A hurricane hit the East Coast and affected a big area. Most people had to look for shelter, food, and blankets. They spend the night in the cold, without heat. Many who are on minimum wage did not have enough to buy a Christmas gift. A man and his daughter waiting at the airport for his wife to return home. The chaplain called him and others to the chapel, but the news was not good. There was a story about a dad who was wrecked by the disease of alcoholism. The saddest part was the son was following the father's example. The poor and the rich have the same dreams and goals. It seems as if the poor fall short on their goal. All they need is another chance of employment to gain their dignity. There was also a story with a happy ending. A father sailed to another country to pick up daughter and family on a small sailing boat, returning back safely. One wish of mine is to help the poor, especially the sick with cancer. So a portion of the proceeds of this book will be going to the Belize Cancer Society and the American Cancer Society. This book is dedicated to the recipients of its success.

      Jolly Ranchers For Buddha

      May 18, 2021

      AFTER THE DIVORCE, I found myself living in a home too big for one person, a home with a pool and hot tub turning green from neglect and a one-acre lot I didn’t have the energy to mow. I sat in an oversized bean bag, a bronze Buddha above me, constan

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Breath of Fresh Air - Francisco Allen

      A Better Life

      He was on his way to the U.S.A.

      Looking for a better life

      He left behind with their approval

      Mother, father, six kids, and wife

      He finally reached the border

      Along with thousands more

      He stayed overnight and waited

      He’s been on this route before

      He was thinking of his future

      There was so much that he could gain

      With his companions cheering him on

      He made the last train

      As the train took them north

      The forecast called for snow and sleet

      He was not dressed for the weather

      His body was protected, but not his feet

      The train went into a blizzard

      He felt better that he was not alone

      But the snow killed his dreams

      While his family waited for news back home

      A Fly’s Escape

      A fly was trapped between

      The window’s glass and the screen

      Trying to concentrate

      So it wouldn’t scream

      A giant picked up a paper

      To scare it away

      The fly kept moving

      Each time the paper came his way

      With a scare it escaped

      And entered the room

      The giant still tried to kill it

      This time with a broom

      As he wondered where it was safe to fly

      He heard a bang and a hiss from death

      As he glided around the giant’s face

      The sun disappeared, taking away his breath

      The giant bent over to scoop him up

      Stinging his butt was hard to resist

      The giant aimed to get the fly

      But hard as he tried, this time he missed

      The fly was still dazed

      As he opened an eye, ready for an attack

      The giant half-opened the door

      And the fly took off, never looking back

      A Heavy Price

      Once my heart belonged to you

      But I couldn’t tell you why

      You didn’t know I existed

      Because I couldn’t say hi

      I paid a heavy price

      Not saying how I felt

      My heart did not break

      My agony caused it to melt

      Every time I remember

      And the pain I went through

      I begin to utter words

      But get nervous when I see you

      Now that the problem’s solved

      And my confidence has grown

      You still make my heart quiver

      And my throat to groan

      Next time I see you

      I am prepared to speak

      Even if I fail trying

      Or my knees get weak

      A Nightmare

      Since I met you

      My heart beats for two

      I go to sleep at night

      And I only dream about you

      So I went to see the doctor

      And I asked him what to do

      He said, "Get rid of her or else

      She could be the end of you"

      But, Doctor, I said,

      She is the only one in my dreams

      I cannot understand it

      He howls and screams

      When that woke me up

      I knew it was a nightmare

      I turned around and saw a smile

      Hidden under your golden hair

      A Perfect Fit

      Under the scope of the full moon

      In the cool of the night

      Our relationship was born

      You were a beautiful sight

      For your birthday we shared

      A slice of cake with a candle lit

      You came into my life like

      A puzzle piece, a perfect fit

      Since the years without you

      I’ve spent thinking what have I missed

      But I’m surviving knowing

      All the moments we had kissed

      Seven years have been for me

      A turbulent time of dedication

      It’s time to start a journey

      To our final destination

      You are from another country

      But you are not foreign to me

      Your essence is embedded

      In
