Past, Present, Future
by Brandon Givens (March 2017)
At a young age people said, I was the best
That I could drive race horses better than the rest.
I’d go to the barn each and every day
To feed all the horses grain, water and hay.
I’m 8 years old now and it’s time to train
Hopping in the cart there’s no feeling the same.
My father and I race on our track at the farm
I sit two back and then pass to his alarm.
He said son, you have the hands of gold
A gifted horseman who is only 8 years old.
Then at 18 I began to professionally race.
My first drive was 2nd right there, giving up chase.
I’m leading with wins in two different states
The Horizon Award Winner so my life is great.
Then in 2006 horses fall on the track.
I break my leg and another don’t come back.
10 years later I sit in jail present day
A 30 year old heroin addict with a lot to say.
I’m sorry to all I’ve hurt in the past
It’s present day and I’m clean and sober at last.
I plan to drive horses and once again be great
Hopefully it comes in the near future and its not too late.
