We are ONE Family, but no family is perfect. The De Vera Family was once a happy family, but amidst the growth of their son, what will go wrong?

|WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM · WEEKLY TO BI-WEEKLY UPDATES|

A troubled veteran attempts to forget the past by volunteering at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum, but it proves difficult when he's close to the plane that changed his life forever--the Corsair.

***

Retired Navy pilot William Beckington never planned to move on after The Incident and has lived with the guilt for seventy years. After failed attempts with PTSD counselors, his daughter recommends that he begin volunteering on the aircraft carrier CV-10 in Charleston, South Carolina. Reluctantly, Bill agrees, but his decision proves difficult when he stumbles back into the world of Corsairs, the plane he'd rather forget.

Seeing that The Incident still haunts him, Bill's new friends attempt to help him remember his long-lost joy; he attends Bulldog Tours, learns the stories of other veterans, and strangely finds himself near the Corsair more than he would like.

While nothing will free his mind from the traumatizing Incident, Bill must find a way to push past his grief and guilt to live the life he is meant to live--and rekindle his best friend's legacy before he succumbs.

This is a collection of some of the poems I’ve written. The themes are about surviving this world we live in, finding love and community along the way, and fighting for justice.

In a world dominated by technology, the Schmidt family, led by teenager Evelyn, must confront a technological threat that puts humanity at risk. Evelyn is given Eve-Bot, a robotic assistant designed to help her with her projects, but things take a dark turn when a virus called EDSN unleashes an uprising of machines. They soon discover that the threat comes from their own neighbours, who work for Edison Corp, a corporation with a sinister plan: to use technology to enslave humanity.

Eve's life was already teetering on the edge. But when a shocking revelation on New Year's Day upends everything she thought she knew, her world spirals into chaos.

As her world teeters on the edge, can she find the strength to rebuild her life and embrace the miracle she never saw coming?

𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍; The act of bringing or recalling a feeling, memory, or image to the conscious mind.

Laying in a frosty forest, with no recollection of where or who she is. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥?

S'Rasha was just a child, though the world had made her grow up far too fast. At only sixteen years old, she had already faced more hardship than most could imagine. An alien from a distant world, her kind, the Yautja, were known for their strength, their fierceness, their independence. But S'Rasha was different. She was skittish, a young mother with nowhere to turn, alone in a strange place with her unborn children. When the darkness of her past caught up with her, she found herself abandoned, struggling with her pregnancy and her fear of the unknown. Enter Emily and Andrew, a couple who had longed for a life of purpose beyond the comfort of their quiet home. They were content with their simple existence, living in a small apartment in the heart of the city, but something was missing. They wanted to help, to give love where it was needed most, even if it meant opening their hearts to the most unexpected of situations.When the call came from Dr. Liz Hagan at St. Peter’s Hospital, they knew it was their chance. A young Yautja in desperate need of a home, a mother in need of care, and an unborn family waiting to be born. Without hesitation, Emily and Andrew answered the call, offering S'Rasha a safe haven and a future that was anything but certain. This is the story of that unlikely family—a human couple and a young Yautja mother—and how they learned to navigate the trials of an unexpected new life, a world of difference, and the unbreakable bonds of love. It’s a journey of courage, acceptance, and hope, and it starts with a choice to give a stranger the chance to be something more: a mother, a daughter, and a part of a family S'Rasha's journey was just beginning, and so too was the journey of Emily and Andrew, as they learned what it truly meant to be parents.

God put me on high, God so good He won’t lie, God said you shall live and not die,I’m breaking generational curses with the biblical verses, Now they see I’m notbroken, Now I’m free without the token, Now it be that I ain’t joking.

I seen those who smile turn to a wolf in the wild, Only God knows who been in thetruth for a while, Really consecrated in the Lord, They don’t feel me causethey understated in the war, Got to heal to be concentrated when you score.

Root branch of Jesse, Truth grants you mercy, I’m in perfect peace, Not with theworship of the beast, God is my provider, Always told me be a fighter, Timeswhere I pulled all nighters, Searching for truth, Purging the sins cause Jesusis the truth.

Pray for peace, Don’t play with the beast, Destruction is tombing, Instruction isbooming, Examine yourself, Why flex to gamble your health, Folks tripping.Yokes gripping, Cast your burdens on the Lord, The past can’t burn the sword.

As believers of Jesus we need to endure until the end to be saved, The deceiverstry to delete us cause we have the seed of the pure to repent to destroy thegrave, Trials and tribulations, They trying to brand the simulation, Stay flyno imitation.

I want to live a blessed life not my best life, Not saying I want the worst, I’m

praying I break the curse, It’s about living fulfilled, It’s about giving morefilled, Thanks where it’s due, God is always new, Ancient of Days, Got tosanction their ways.

Keep your heart fixated on the Lord, It’s deep cause the start was dictated by thewar, Whether it be psychological or biological they aiming the darts, Lifeain't astrological that’s why the world is diabolical in the dark.

I ain’t turning back even when they turned their back, I was lost and now I’mback, I don’t need no back up even when they act up, Christ said Jonah, What’sthe sacrifice of the owner, Have no fear of the devil, The wrath is so near onany level.

Keepyour heart from falsehood, Peep your start in the pulse wood, How is the world world divided, The Word is decided, What God says is valid, They fake like a crouton salad, flexible silence like a futon ballad, Thank You Jesus, They can’t blankyou in Jesus.

Are you turning right or left, The war is to burn the light of breath, We know thedark forces can’t win, I don’t flow with the stark voices cause they sin, I’mstriving for perfection, I’m thriving in protection, No recording me, I’m seenby God accordingly.

Blazing fire, Amazing in the choir, How many chasing the wire, How many facing theliar, Store up cause the score up, Angelic wings so we can soar up, Spiritualwar get your sword up, Metaphorically speaking, They imported the legion.

They say you make yourself a target, Without the Mark of the Beast you can’t buy in the market, Wake up before time’s up, Can’t fake up when time’s up, Took a loss, Cook up the cost, The enemy see the rising, Now my energy is etherizing.

Can’t hesitate in the present state, The frequency is officially shifting, The freecan see eventually the lifting, The veil being torn, All hell will mourn. Atthis new dimension, Only the truth is the pension, Jesus is Lord did I mention.

They say Thursday is the worst day cause no one knows about the first day, They wantyou in the hearse day cause the world coming to a cursed day, Solar eclipse is not a birthday, It's a prophecy to earth day, Jesus Christ will purge the end day.

They want you banned from society cause God’s plan is your priority, Spread the nameJesus, Thread the game due to seizures, Christ is Lord over all, The price Iswhat the devil can’t afford over all, Take heed to the silence, Fake deeds ofbalance.

When you living right you repent so you can live in light, My trajectory is skyhigh, God is protecting me that’s why I still smile, I don’t fake it withfolks, I break all the yokes, Everything ain’t about the riches, My soul inJesus as the world glitches.

The control of life belongs to God, They mock and troll on God, The thirteenbloodlines are in power, Earth’s dream is in our power, Unfortunately it’s anightmare, Most importantly does your light care, Partakers in Christ,Undertakers look for a price.

They can’t JFK me, They can’t MLK me, They can’t break me, They can’t fake me, Theycan’t make me, I ain’t paranoid, I know they got the Polaroid, Watching myevery move in Christ, Take caution cause on my head is a price, Can’t auctionmy slice.

I thank the water then squeeze the lemon, I ain’t with the beast venom, You knowwhat I mean, You know I ain’t mean, Lovingkindness, Southern silence, FEMAcamps ready for the population, Dreamer stamps ready to stop the nations, Weall need salvation.

I can’t retire until I see the saints in the choir, Give thanks you been through thefire, They blanked when I broke the wire, Spiritual rank I’m gettinghigher, The banks took an oath to be a liar to, The clank will soon be dire.

Our Saviour is risen, Our labor ain’t missing, Jesus Christ is the truth, Seizures of thesacrifice is not the fruit, God has to be your main thought, It’s hardbut it must be the sane heart, They can’t bench me, They can’t trench me, Theycan’t drench me.

I’m real no cartoon, The deal is to take your heart soon, I’m going out in a blaze,I’m growing out of that faze, You want to be a gate keeper, You want to be ahate reaper, The enemy can’t haunt me cause the slate deeper, Countdown to thestate sleeper.

God’s love is in every season, The doves don’t bluff for any reason, Justice isalways being served, Above this God’s footstool is earth, Don’t fake it withthe low vibes, They won’t make it with the old pipes, Don’t play with theworld, Pray for the world.

Study the playbook. It’s muddy if they slay you with the hook, Have no fear, Thewrath is all year, Their craft is ball gear, Focus on God always, That hocus isin them all days, Better repent, Weather is intent, God is King, God is myeverything.

All praises to learn God. All faces need to turn to God, Look within, The book isnot a myth of sin, Biblical power, Spiritual power, All in righteousness, Thefall is the crisis ain't blessed, Cold freezing brains, Gold squeezing grains.

What’s in the Bible is truth not news, What’s in the idol is the fruit of fools, Whocares about the mundane, Who dares about the sun’s pain, Got to see therainbow, Got to free the angels, The world is scripted, The Word is gifted.

God meant every word said, We must repent or live dead, Trust the intent to givebread, Christ came to save, The sacrifice was to defeat the grave, The price todelete me I’m still brave, Perfect peace, I don’t worship the beast.

The Lord's faith defeated the grave, God ain’t stupid, God ain’t cupid, Once you automatic with the heart, Don’t matter how acrobatic the dark, Season ofrepentance, They leasing inventions, Keep living right. Peep the living night,Focused, No hocus.

Get right with the weather, Get light as a feather, We’ve been perplexed by earth’stest, We been bruised but we still didn’t lose, We’ve been crushed but stilldidn’t budge, We’ve been confused but God we choose, We’ve been in despair but westill spared.

Repentance is to your benefit, The entrance is the core element, The exit is also important, They flex it until they lose the fortune, Take care of your healthand wealth, I surrender to God, I’m not a pretender to God.

The flow is God driven, The glow is God given, To know is God living, Keep yourheart detoxed of all evil, Peep their heart in the tv box of the ego, Keep the law of the heart in the hard knocks of the legal, Don’t collide with the wall,God overrides all.

The Word Is power, The world is sour, You stuck on the milk but it’s time for themeat biblically talking, You knuck on the silk but it's time for the heatspiritually talking, Exposure cause the sun getting brighter, Composure causethey getting the spider.

Lovely words of peace, Above me is the words of please, Making sure my ways areblameless before God, Ain’t gon fake it cause I’m pure for the days areshameless before God, Can’t take the cure in the praise for the baseless beforeGod.

I plead the energy of love, I need the energy of the dove, Lord increase ourfaith, Jesus’ heart to save, Believers will defeat the grave, Show the kindnessof peace, I know behind us is the beast, God is our protector, God is ourdirector.

Plant a seed of love in Christ name, They chant a deed of above in the sacrificegame, Just know what happened on the cross wasn't a joke, What I know I ain’tcapping cause without Jesus it’s a loss and yoked, We freeing the pulse, Weseeing the results.

Heal from the past days, Real cause we’re in the last days, Even if it wasn’t stillgot to keep it integretized, Lot of folks leaving the gift to fill the dot tobe incentivized, Today is to do God’s will, They call a new play to make ithard in the real.

I ain’t decaying, my spirit red dot em, They slaying folks saying I got em, Theypreying I hit rock bottom, I ain’t playing got to lock Sodom, Your enemies arereal close, They want your energy sealed closed, The world is sold The Word isgold.

If you love God then you hate evil, If you have the dove it’s hard when your fatethey grieve you, Guard your heart cause they won’t believe you, The joker cardwill try to deceive you, The world is dark they won't receive you, They try tobob and weave you.

The world is going to get flamed up, The Word is going to get blamed up, We gon seewho was selling, We gon see who was telling, The flesh profits nothing, Thefresh stops it punting, We’re in a spiritual war, We’re in a biblical war.

We building, Rebuilding, We in the building, God’s children, All races, All faces,It’s not about flesh and blood, It's about who's fresh in love, Strive to walkthe narrow path, Thrive to talk the marrow raft, Holy spirit, Only the fakefear it.

We’re at war, You gon hear me roar, I’m gon soar. Been running I ain’t sore, Theytried to put vodou on me cause they seen the guru in me, The light got themnervous, The night they’re at service, Jesus is Lord over all, Increase us thegame over in fall.

I just want to be godly, They playing like it’s oddly, I’m praying even morehardly, I know that they can’t guard me, Energy been on fire, Enemy been aliar, Every nation riddled with skull evil, Innovation griddled with no ego.

They can’t understand me so they try to underhand me, Don’t let anybody faze you,Don’t let anybody maze you, Be right in the heart, It’s always been light in the start, Candle flow, They can’t handle the glow, Faith in God’s power, Grave can’t take my power.

Put his name on the cross, Put the game on pause, I ain’t playing with those who cheat me, Laws written in my heart no man can teach me, I take sound advice if needed, Can’t fake the found when Christ is seeded, Can’t take the ground inany heist deleted.

We headed to the mountain top, They dreaded cause the ocean gon drop, Got thepeople watching, Got the evil at caution, I know they want me on a poster, Theglow certified like kosher, They ball in the dark to the blind, Law written inmy heart and mind.

Get your heart right, Get your heart’s light, Are you filled with the holy spirit,God’s will is for the beast to fear it, Can’t be lukewarm in your mood version,Being only good is not making the cut in the purging, You need Christ, The onlyseed of price.

Only Godcan book you, They can’t rook you, They can’t mook you, They can’t shook you, They try to overlook you, They try to overcook you, They try to hook you,They try to juke you, They can’t nook you, They can’t fluke you, They can’tzook you.

Faith comes first, Saved from the curse, You must not realize that the devil is adeceiver, I only trust God who is wise on every level to the believers, Todayyou can repent and receive Jesus, New day with intent to achieve to free us.
