Green Light
Location
It might have been little league;
might have been Gatsby;
might have been Hardball, where all of the gats be;
might have been Dad helping me out with ball,
encouraging me even when I would fall;
It might have been Nick from junior year high,
that teacher that made us believe we could fly;
or maybe it might have been Tommy from ‘blink,’
and how he would feel it and not try to think;
It might have been Billy Joe;
might have been Yeezy;
might have been Mom making writing so easy;
might have been how she just got me to flow
my thoughts to the paper and see it all grow;
It might have been movies;
might have been music;
might have been mentors that told me to use it;
now thinking about it, I see in hindsight
just how many sources showed me the green light….
