Loving
Meticulous

Respectful and respected
The greatest man I have ever known
Always working hard for the greater good

My hero
An example for all
Where ever I go people remind me
what a great man my father is
I hope to be able to leave the same gift for my children

We are different yet we are the same
We approach things from different places
Yet our goal is the same
To do good
Help others
Leave the world a better place

Thank you for being my mentor

I BELIEVE

In the power of good and evil

I choose good

I believe in leaving the world a better place

I will sacrifice for my childrenI believe an idea can change the world

I am not afraid To take a stand, lead the way, sacrifice, endure hardship

I believe you can do well by doing goodBy helping others you help yourself

My failures and sacrifices will make it easier for others

As the needs of others become as important as the needs of the individual, the world gains the ability to change like never before.

A challenge thrown down by environmental Entrepreneur Mr. Steve Schappert. He invited us all to do something to help pull us all together to save the planet. I thought "what could I do" Steve challenged Ebony and I to write a song. Here it is. Much blessings to all. - Joe Torcicollo
