A Poem written by my son



The first thing to do is the thing you fear most
Without fear theres no courage, No reason to boast
So true courage lies not with no fear
Its facing them all for those you hold dear
So I lay down my life Not for honor, but for you
Because my worst fear, Is you not telling me you love me too
You are my world, My reason for living
You are more than a girl, Your constantly giving me
light in the dark, A hope when theres none
Your the tear in the lonely face of a boy with a gun
All the pleasure you cause, Is equal to the pain
For every happy memory, The hurting, it gains
And my worst fear is becoming that it will never stop
That it will keep inflating, unable to pop
So you've created one big mountain
of joy and of pain As if the sun that beats down, like a fountain,
Is causing the rain And i cant find the answer, No matter how hard i
look To make it go away, To take my mind off the hook
But I fear I must keep looking Until I am a ghost
And the first thing to do is the thing you fear most.
Damon M Ely

Hi, This is so amazing........This poem Damon, it's just blowing me away. It's depth, it's imagery, it's heartfelt emotions-I think you are totally a writer with a deep sense of life, love, fear, pain..........I love you!
I see a young man who has the capacity to express his feelings with such persiflage many can identify with. I see it, I feel it..........You are such a bright, shining star that was plucked from the heavens and given to us to share all your amazing talents with. I hope you know how much you are loved and how worthy your life is! I know my life is so much better with you in it.
Thanks so much for sharing this. Truly a masterpiece!
I love You All!
