Javan has written four books of poetry and I find that many of his poems are inspirational and moving. Without using alot of words he can mean alot. I wanted to include some of his poems on this page to share with my visitors. All of Javans poems are copyrighted, so please do not reproduce without express written permission from Javan.

Just how high
Can the Human Heart rise
In a world so full of uncaring eyes
Where Animals suffer and Children die
And people fight Wars without knowing why
Where alcohol and drusg cause wasted lives
And shelters are full of unwed mothers and battered wives

But should the day come that man learns to care
And no longer wants just to take, but also to share
And he learns that everything has the right to live
And Life is something he can take, but can not give
When he learns to approach Life with a Heart full of Love
For everything on Earth and in the Heavens above
When he learns to do these things
He will have opened the door
To knowing just how high
The Human Heart can soar


I don't wish to be
Everything to Everyone
But I would like to be
Something to Someone


I am a collection of characteristics
Both physical and mental
That makes me completely unique
No one else anywhere
Is exactly like me
And I realize that not everyone
Who crosses my path
Will be interested
In what I have to offer

But my strength comes
From the belief
That Someone
Somewhere

Can and Will
Appreciate me
For what I am
