Into a Grave

Into A Grave Will remember Robin Williams for who he was, A humorous entertainer we had loved because Each and everyone of those he entertained His fine performance down on them rained. But as we do become deep in depression And have forgotten to go to another session, To ourselves one day must come to terms; Should we really open another can of worms? So he kept to himself before he had died And his desire to live slowly did slide; A cutup comedian who would not behave Has gone away and disappeared into a grave. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran

The real problem is will we really ever be able to learn who I true self actually is. It may change from time to time and be in constant flight and of the fact should not loose sight that God to help is always here, if we will only know that He always is close ad near. So every time God I have to ask, "Is that me really wearing a mask?" trying to hide the real person who you made who often loved sitting the shade. It is over and done and once had been fun, Is all now only a memory, And I am in haven which is a better place to be. It all just came to me. Jim
