Passion

Read by John Aielli.

This is my passion,
This is my love.

I express my ideas,
I express my passion.
My passion comes out as ideas,
And my ideas sometimes come out as a passion.

Some might call it too hard,
Some might say I don't have it.

I know I have it,
I know they don't think so.

But I know……………………….
For it’s my passion,
For me,
It’s not playing with a ball,
Or using a stick to make colors,
My passion is having a passion.
