    Mr Tucker's view of the world is an insightful yet realistic view in which many can relate and if not at least see the the beauty and architect of his words.  The sample below showcase's the wordsmiths abilities. 

    And again reach out to the brother and give words of encouragement and appreciation.

Oh I rise

Oh I rise above it all, they defend to no avail,

I rise because I fall, in pursuit to never fail,

I am the prize, and my disguise is my strength that lies beyond a shaded veil,

A faded veil to no surprise its breaking down though I'm not frail,

I'm told I'm not a man and even less they tell their tale,

Sticks and stones have broken my bones, but I'm not the words they've set assail,

I set to sail thick and through, through the storms of Hell and hail,

And I flow as the river flows, and am on top like a floating pale,

When I'm told I am hated, I become deflated almost pale,

Then I remembered I'm the Warrior

Survived neglect,abuse,and even jail!

Imprisoned in a shallowed cave

Arose a slave to The King only,I hail

Lifting me pass the truth,

HE is One Without a grail,

He has guided me amungst a trail

In the place of first, where when before i was the snail,

And raced to receive His Grace, and to cure me where my heart was aile

To rise above it all as they oppose to no avail.

I. AM. A. WINNER....
