If you build it he will come... If you write it they will come???

If you believe the impossible, The incredible can come true. So says Kevin Costner in his 1988 film "Field Of Dreams". He sacrifices all financial stability tilling his crops under to build a baseball field with a miniature grandstand and a ghost baseball team that comes from the home run end of a corn field. Although he's threatened with foreclosure and loosing every thing he still risks every thing to still leave the farm to chase after a writer whose pulled from society and living in the city. He brings the writer back to the farm the "Field of Dreams". He never writes a story. Regardless people start showing up. I don't know how every one's gonna sit in that little grand stand.
  If you write it they will come!!! If you believe the impossible, the incredible can come true.
If you write it they will come... I haven't done any drastic measures to promote my kindle book "will write for food". I have put myself out there. I might have picked a better poem to be page one had I known it was going to be a sample of what was in the book. I put it first because that is the first poem I've ever written.
It didn't have a title for the longest time. Then I considered "WHY"  did I write this?



        "WHY"

I have no doubt in my mind
   Someday I will affect the lives
of many people in a positive way
   Someday my life will open up
and flourish
   That's why I survive.


I wrote this piece in southern Michigan prison. It was like 25 years ago. I was wanting to just die. Did you know it's hard to kill yourself even in prison. I knew God was using this experience to teach me something or maybe even to get me to write.  Still surviving anticipating a bloom.
I know Iv'e made a difference in a few peoples lives, I exspect the best is comming.
