Just Things

Just my thoughts; Since I was a young boy I have had somewhat poetic thoughts going through my head, or possibly better yet- thoughts that were somewhat poetic. My mom Vivian Shields, was, and there is no doubt, my inspiration to write. So, we would write poetry and things together, to be more honest, my mom did most of the writing and I did the learning! Well, whatever! Somewhere along the line I began putting these thoughts on paper.
My life could never be classified as ordinary. I was always on the move, or run, depending on how you perceived it. There was always so much to see, so much to do; and when I ran out of things to do I would write. Some things take longer than others; thus, my decision to put all of the poetry and lyrics that I have written through the years into a book. My mom was my mentor; she wrote some great interesting poetry of which I have included in this book.
