Jerry Golden Poet Verse

Grace For a Day

I settled down 
And got a little more 
Out of myself 
And into the life 
I had left
I’m trying to do things
You would be
Proud of 
Sense a relationship
Beneath the dynamics
Of a dove
Realistically
I want to venture out 
Be more of the individual
Everyone looks to see
I’m thankful
For the days that
I held my head over
Coughed, sneezed
And had no idea 
What to believe
I’m thankful 
I have gotten to see twenty-two
In my worst ways 
I want to find comfort 
Next to you 
I’m thankful
For days I was alone
For every Christmas
I had no one
And even more
I can now exhibit 
The appreciation adored
When I finally do find
A family of my own

Michael Jordan June 13, 2009 at 11:39 AM Jerry speaking of a poem I can relate to - 11 of my holidays i spent locked away from everyone I loved - I am lucky for towards the end of it all I found my family in more ways than one - My Mothers family had given up on me years before - My dads family I had never met and everyone else burned rubber straight across my back - I have them all in my life now - Stay strong and true and hopefully you can also find all the blessings that I have - God Bless, MJ
