"The Creation of Mr. Kevin Bolden"

The Creation of Mr. Kevin Bolden

A name and a face was needed for “Epilepsy”

              A health condition people are not always willing to discuss

          Still I felt that this was something people needed to understand

       So the creation of “The Village and Mr. Kevin Bolden” was a must!
 

Kevin Bolden was a hard-working, corporate, family man

Here was a happy husband and a loving father of two

All he wanted to do in life was to be very successful

So whatever price he had to pay, he was willing to do!
 

The people in his neighborhood, “The Village”

Truly admired him for the life he was trying to live

Unfortunately his Employer would not do the same

They saw his condition and put “Epilepsy” before his name!
 

Because of a “seizure” his Employer now saw him as a Liability

Instead of the “True Asset” he had proven himself to be

Mr. Bolden realized why they began to think like this

It was the “Epilepsy Education” that they seemed to have missed!
 

So he said, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do”

But how could Kevin Bolden be the “Man” that God made him to be?

It was all because of the people in “The Village”

They saw a successful, educated man who just happened to have Epilepsy!
 

 The Village supported him during his trials and tribulations

For a “Good Husband, Father, and Friend was all they were able to see

Now Kevin Bolden is able to say to anyone, “Yes, I have Epilepsy”

But because of “The Village”, Epilepsy does not have me!”
