Favorite Quote:
"Frustration begins where knowledge ends" -Clinton Anderson, world-renowned horse trainer


You give me a dead mouse
and I'll give you cash.
You come up with the rolling sea
and I'll give you an empty glass.

Give me air and I'll give you space,
except if you have black hair
then I'll give you a shining crown of olive leaves.

Show me inexperience
and I'll show you too many reins.
Bring me winter and I'll give the world
nothing but disdain.

Give me faith
and I'll have everything I've ever wanted
and more.
I'll tell you my story
if you show me what you are looking for.

I like how this poem sums up my whole life in an inconspicuous way. It may be a little weird to the reader at first but I intended it to be interesting and enthralling.
