THE MAN IN THE GLASS
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest
For he’s with you, clear to the end
And you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.

The next scene and poem reminds me of my God Son Blake.
Quit was not a word in his vocabulary.
His last football play on Earth was a touchdown.
That's unheard of
His last football play on Earth was a touchdown.
That's unheard of
Friendship:
DON’T QUIT
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must-but don't you quit.
When the road your trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must-but don't you quit.
Life is queer with it's twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When you might have won had you stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow-
You might succeed with another blow.
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When you might have won had you stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow-
You might succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than it seems to faint and faltering human,
Often the struggler has given up.
When they might have captured the victors cup.
And you learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close you were to the golden crown.
Often the struggler has given up.
When they might have captured the victors cup.
And you learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close you were to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt-
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
I am so Proud of my Sister.Talk about Strength and Faith-
I am honored to be her brother.
My older sisters: Therese and Traci were named after Therese of Lisieux.
One Red Rose: The reason my sisters and I exist.
An ordinary girl. An extraordinary soul.

IF THERE’S MAGIC
IN BOXING, IT’S THE MAGIC OF FIGHTING BATTLES BEYOND ENDURANCE, BEYOND CRACKED
RIBS, RUPTURED KIDNEYS AND DETACHED RETINAS.
IT’S THE MAGIC OF RISKING EVERYTHING FOR A DREAM THAT NOBODY SEES BUT
YOU.
