I moved to Canada at the age of 7 experiencing for the first time snow, cold that people locked their doors and that there wasn't a beautiful sandy beach just down the road. I lived in some of the toughest neighbourhoods in the city and went to schools where conflict was an every day occurrence. As a young boy I dreamed of one day becoming a police officer. I realized my dream at the age of 20 and have had the fortunate opportunity to help those in need. I am married with a beautiful family and have sinced moved out of the city. I enjoy cooking, riding motorcycles, movies and have a love for fast cars. I belive I am qualified to write poems as I have experienced a great deal of pain, joy, loss and happiness in my time here on earth and have seen others experience the same things. I write in hopes that those reading the pages can relate to the stories told and reflect upon situations thay may be aware of or experienced themselves.vizualizați mai puține
