Terry’s Poetry
Changing Lives
My music teacher,
Yvonne Whitmore,
believed in me and
saw my potential and ability.
She saw that I could sing
bass, tenor and baritone.
She would take me out to
the Rotary Club and the
community in Lansing.
She changed my life.
Helped me to be positive
and confident in my ability
to sing in groups.
She taught me to curb
my frustrations with others.
She is my hero.
My Daily Walk
My daily walk every morning
makes me feel so good inside.
It is a coping mechanism
in the house where I abide
I hear the singing of birds,
and the fountain by house five.
Going on a daily walk
makes me feel so alive.
I feel cold wind in my hair and face.
It’s fun to walk with friends in my home.
Supervised walks
help me to not roam.
