a wise man

a wise man

A Poem by chris hoagland
"

someone i look up to once told me this- bonus points to who guesses him corectly :P

"
i looked into what he would see
with pen and paper i write this to whom ever it may concern 
sense i did not have a man to look up to and listen to, i found ones i wish to follow
Dr. seuss taught me this
"why fit in when you where born to stand out?"
and from there a flower was born and i started my web of information and passion started
from there i went to wise men or wise women 
and i came across Helen Keller  
"we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or the life of another"
and i learned more and grew to each person, each with they're amazing stories and they're inspirational quotes 
one day i read this 
" if your going through hell, keep going"
to my own amazement, i realized i was not alone
there are more people that understand
someone who does what they love no mater what others say to them
and everyday when they're doing their job you can see they're eyes come alive 
that same man said this
"never, never, never, give up"
these people have changed the world
and they will never be forgotten
and i will do my best to follow
just remember
"all our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them" -Walt Disney
