Brandon’s Poetry

Thankful

Shared experiences
with loved ones
makes for a beautiful life.
Friends that are family.
Thankful.

I Found Hope

I have found hope
with the discovery of giving back
to others.
I never imagined
that one day, I would be more
than I am.
Faith and destiny turned to hope
on the day that I met you.
Music inspires me.
I hope to record my own music
and make a difference
in people’s lives.

Welcome

President Biden.
You and I
are alike.
We share a disability
called stuttering.
We now look to you
to get us through these hard moments.
Thankful to live in the
land of the free.
Praying to be together again.
Welcome to the White House.

Soulfulness

Soulfulness.
My superpower.
Finding something special
and pure
inside you and me.

 

Confidence

Moving to Gracious Grounds
was my goal.
I wasn’t sure if I could
live on my own.
With help from my parents and friends,
I found strength
to keep going.
More confident every day.

Be Kind Everyone

Look around you.
Everyone is different.
Show respectfulness.
Practice kindness.
We need more love.
