The Thoughts Of An Old Man
The worries of the world I wear on my face
I worry about the day that I will take my last breath
I wonder if it will be painless
Or if it will be very painful
I think of dying almost everyday
I always think about if one day
I will be doing something useful
Then I will just fall over and die
I think about how I made it all these years
And how I am not ready to go yet
But then I think to myself how if it is my time to go
Then that probably mean it is time for me to go
I also wouldn’t mind leaving this world
Because I know I have lived a very fulfilling life
And how I lived my life to the fullest
And that when the time comes
for me to leave this world
I would understand
that a new generation will come
And make a huge
impact in this world
I know that I will have to make room
In order for the next generation to
Start making a change in the world
I know that I have to be ready
For when the time comes for me to go
Life is too short to be mad at each other
I have learned many lessons in my life
Life doesn’t have to be terrible
It’s your life, so why not make it exciting
Why not make your life worth living
Don’t dwell on the things you don’t have
Instead appreciate the things you do have

Jay’s artwork is based on empowering characters and creating a story-line with metaphorical content.

Jay uses gray-scale in his work to invoke a more dramatic effect while also noting that the work can be complimented by surrounding aesthetics.
Sister Claudia Burke Center for Hope
In a city that helped build America, hope is often in short supply. Jobs are scarce – violence, illiteracy, and crime are prevalent. Young people are being raised in an environment of poverty and despair. Anxiety, joblessness and poverty – all contributors to depression and domestic violence – are destroying families. Clearly, help is needed. For many, the Center for Hope is the beginning of a new path to recovery, offering access to counseling and mental health services, substance use treatment and recovery, housing assistance and referrals for food and furniture. The Center for Hope offers just that – hope for each new day that comes.
