Protect Me

By Theodore R. Goyins III

Excerpt from My Book


Excited that you want to fill me with joy
Pumping life into that which is breathing
Pain and aches cause me to turn the color of tar
Hardening to the point where walls are formed all around me
I am the symbol of your love, treat me as such
Hold me in your hands, but be gentle
Tender to the touch, is my inner core
To touch ones soul, I am the open door
The portal where love has access and few may be granted
Protect Me

Somewhere

By Theodore R. Goyins, III


Excerpt from Book



Somewhere there is a millionaire with no visible worries
Somewhere there is a child with no food or water
Somewhere there is someone taking life for granted
Somewhere there is someone who has been told by doctors their days are numbered
Somewhere there is a mansion with many empty rooms
Somewhere there is a homeless person searching for a room that is empty
Somewhere there is........



Think about how you treat your "Somewhere"
To be continued in the soon to be realeased book

Destination Love

By Theodore R. Goyins, III



No compass, map, nor GPS needed
Losing all sense of direction
Unable to find my way back to some of the familiar places
As a man I find myself seldomly stopping to ask for directions
Only trying to figure it out for myself
Truth is I never thought I would get lost
I had been to this place once or twice before
But then again the directions to this destination were a little different

Thanks Again

By Theodore R. Goyins, III



I know, I know you probably heard this so many times
It probably could get overwhelming at times
Because we are so appreciative of what you have done
You probably hear it and say "Please you say this enough"
"I've heard it already, I know your heart is gratified"
Ok that probably isn't the whole truth
We probably don't say it often as we should
I too am at fault
It probably is just spoken in multitudes on days of celebration
But beyond this day of festive celebration, I would like to tell you
Thanks Again

Confident Not Conceited

By Theodore R. Goyins, III



Arrogance is no form of flattery
It kills the atmosphere and ambiance of any forum
Draining the positive energy from all that surround it
It creates enemies and builds anomosity towards its host
It has the frangrance of milk several months past its time
Standing out as a crowd of one, the conceited believe they have many friends
But in fact they are alone, for we only accept you because we are hoping it diminishes your face time
Like someone and they will give you your space when needed
Hate someone and it seems as if they are always around

I Struggle

By Theodore Goyins, III (TRG3)



I struggle with dreams because they have to be fulfilled
I struggle with sleep because thoughts of changing the world keep me awake
I struggle with thoughts of my future children because for them I will have to provide and protect
I struggle with pain because I have to hide it
I struggle with love because I never want it to be lost
I struggle with time because I can't rewind it
I struggle because I hate to see those around me struggle
I struggle with your love because I have to accept it

When I Became Me......Again

By Theodore R. Goyins, III

Inspired By Kevan Washington


It is funny because I never lost me but that day it really felt like I did
Prior to "The Day" life had been grand, everything was going the way I like to think God had planned
I mean life could not be any better
Waking up every morning being able to look into the eyes of the future and seeing a clear path to destiny
I was able to hold God's greatest gift in my arms, my son
He would look at me with a promising glare and know that he was protected
I could hear his angelic voice call out "Daddy" even if he was not around
It would resound in my memory as if he sat next to me at that very moment
Life was at its greatest moment when the simple things made me smile
