Someone Special
SOMEONE SPECIAL
In your life you will meet SOMEONE SPECIAL sometime
Listen now as I tell you how death has took mine
Not a rock or a film star but a father so true
I lost SOMEONE SPECIAL when dad, I lost you
My heart it was aching when I saw my mum
Her crying, her shaking disbelief left me numb
I could not believe he was actually dead
Even after his name in the paper I read
At his funeral I carried his coffin with pride
Trying at all times my great hurt to hide
But my heart at last sank and the tears they did flow
But good memories stay with me where ever I go
His laughter, his smile, his quick cheeky wit
Were qualities that I admire, I admit
All children loved him with passion and fire
He showed love and kindness, which we all should admire
He left many people who cared a great deal
He touched their lives and their hearts he did steal
For to know him was pleasure and only brought joy
I was blessed to have loved him as both man and boy

Forever In My Heart
A million times I've needed you
A million times I've cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
No one can ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you
But you did not go alone
A part of me went with you
The day GOD called you home
Your precious memory is my keepsake
With which I'll never part
GOD has you safely in HIS keeping
But I have you forever in my heart

Tad
You was the love of my dreams.
With you my dreams came true.
But everything is not as it seems.
I was always so very blue.
There were times I hated to come home.
My love became a obsession.
There were times I felt so alone.
That left me with many of questions.
So many times I hated you.
There where times I wanted to kill you.
All I could see was just us two.
You did not stay true.
You asked of me way to much.
I gave you everything you asked for.
My soul you did touch.
But left lost and at war.
You where the love of my life.
And now you are gone.
But you were my wife.

Poem
(a peculiar christ)
the dead man does
himself
no justice,
and yet he sees fit
to bask in his own
perceived lack
of glory,
for one without
thought,
he remains receptive,
idly ignoring the
calamitous claims
of those who have
yet to die,
he remains,
if only for a promise,
a covenant of
grandiose reckoning,
a covenant of truth,
he remains,
a dead man,
(a peculiar christ)

My Prayer for Kevin
How could I forget this spot, Kevin
a serine Japanese garden
we sat right here
and there is the river birch that brought us shade
it was about six years ago today
a warm breeze collects thousands of ripples and sends them over the pond’s soft surface
you brought Heavenly, your new step daughter
and I brought Mika , your new favorite niece
it was the perfect play date for our children who were soon to be cousins
belly laughs echoed from the gazebo, as we dipped our toes in the cool pond
splashing and kicking our fins as dandelion seeds parachuted across the water
today it’s quiet…
I notice the cracks in the sidewalk
ants moving in circles
moss-covered rocks
and turtles …
rhythmically darting their heads to peer above the water…
I miss you, Kevin
and your son that I knew so briefly
he was so tiny when you left us…
Hayes....
what
a
grand
name !
your wife remarried and moved out of state
She hides your son from us
afraid that he will love us like he did you
I know he must look just like you
blue eyes and long eyelashes
your extra wide shoulders and long arms…
a dead twig lies in the water where we once dipped our feet
there is no more laughter…
your mother is sad and your brother, Roger, has your photo on our mantle
we purchased a picture of you and affixed it to your grave
you look so happy in that picture wearing your Buckeye jersey
a scarlet and grey flower are in the vase next to your photo
please guide your son to meet us one day, Kevin
direct his paths while you wait for us from heaven
Uncle Roger and Aunt Gwendolen will remind him of you
each
and
every
last
detail
in the meantime,
please find a spot like this one
with a towering birch and cascading branches that twirl in the wind
we will sit and reminisce
and share great big belly laughs…
this is my prayer, dear brother –in –law
one
day
in
heaven

My Epitaph Will Read...
Here lies Deadline Devonshire, tardiness she did abhor
Her editor will tell you, "She was never late before"
Her sister laid claim to the gene pool’s beauty and brains
Carolyn took credit for writing verse that’s inane
Believed in reincarnation; wasn't Cleopatra
She merely adopted "been there, done that" as her mantra
She was the first to acknowledge her imperfection
But writing her own epitaph? Too much self-reflection!

My Father
I miss you dad every single day
The wonderful Times I remember
Are the times we spent together going
To dinner and church
The times I will cherish always on this earth
Your gentle ways and smiles and hugs
Made Life worthwhile for this is true
Forever you are missed in my heart and soul
But the forever is Heaven and you are there basking
In the Light of the Lord
I miss you dad and loved you so much
But eternity is yours to no longer hurt
Cancer is what took you far too soon
I am always remembering your hugs and
I loved you so much too.
Eternity is there for you now and forever
Remember I love you and Kisses from here
to you in the forever they call Heaven from earth

MY UNIQUE LINE : JSL -------A Day Of Ones In The Sun---
Inundating radiant sunshine beams
down on my face
fervently tracing crows feet
nearing the frown I can taste
obliterating tear streaks
transmitting them
into the depths of outer space
introducing an iridescent spectrum
of piercing waves
golden ears fear in the race
Electromagnetic oscillation
inspiring me to rely
religiously
upon solar energy
photosynthesis
eradicating unwanted toxins
by chasing them
vehemently
So on this sacred date of "ONE"…
negative energy is trumped
by the positive tsunami
of the sun
and as she dares me
to stare into her face of grace
ninety three million miles away…
I sigh
as her radiance blasts my face
in such a merciful way
suddenly my shaking knees
give way to an epiphany
that this day is laced with sanctity
Finally
the world's eyes feast upon
an auspicious
uniformed alignment
five ones standing side by side
gold adorned
a spiritual aspirant
making change the world will see...
"The Sun's Seven"
pronouncing a unified spirituality
* Entrance for P.d.'s "Unique Line" Contest-----This poem's title is unique "A Day of Ones In the Sun" because it describes a very special and unique calendar date 11-1-1. But if you missed it...
don't worry or let your eyes get blurry with tears
cus' 11-11 's comin' in a hurry to relinquish your fears.....so yes there will be another day of ones on 11-11-1! tho' I can't promise you at the Soup that the 11th will be filled with sun!------I believe my poetry, like many others on this amazing site, has a fresh variety, inspired by life and everything in it! I hope you enjoy my lines like :"the world's eyes feast upon
an auspicious
uniformed alignment
five ones standing side by side
gold adorned
a spiritual aspirant"
