More frigid then ice
Cooler than arctic circles

Human decency left you
Now destined to be alone

Shadows in the night
Whispers call, yet hearts stand firm
Stronger than the dark
Overcoming obstacles
Until they all are achieved…

Turning gears align
Momentum builds beneath steel
Strength in motion flows

Power of Motion

M.A.D. Works

Turning wheels with purpose and might,  

Overcoming obstacles, reaching new heights.  

Rotating forces that drive us along,  

Quietly powering, strong and long.  

Unleashing energy, a thrill in the air,  

Engine’s heartbeat, a mechanical flair.

Defiant daisies
Grow through the hardest concrete
Beautiful protest
In an unjust world, we live
Beauty will surely prosper

Confidence in every step

Growing as I move forward

Pets

M.A.D. Works

What is good about having a pet?

Pets offer companionship that can help alleviate loneliness and give their owners a sense of purpose. Whenever I come home to my dogs, I feel reassured knowing they care for me and seek my love and attention. Their presence significantly reduces my loneliness.
