Just By These Words

The effects the event the horizon the before and then the after the 
miracle of life the hatred of death the 

armor of military ensemble the unstoppable the plague the cure the 
smiling down on a child frowning down on idleness

The lake the shore the hunger for more the rivers the streams the 
sun that beams down on black white and 

everything that walks and sings the lighter the flame the bridge over 
troubled waters the fathers with no 

daughters no the daughters with no supporters the poor that's 
getting poorer the people that's out of order the 

beginning the ending don't tell the ending the blabber mouth the 
seduction the animal instincts the people that 

dont think that's on the brink of disaster the boredom the 
excitement the juror the indictment the irresponsible 

the irreplaceable lawyer the war hero also known as the warrior the 
God in me the energy the synergy

He is your majesty He's in me actively the creator the jealous one 
The only one  the only begotten son the 
God of Israel the God that heals so therefore I conclude that I am 
healed just by These words

There are too many "daughters with no supporters" these days, Anton, and the sons don't have it much better. Faith is the only thing that helps us go on. And what you said about your grandmother possibly hearing you when she was in a coma -- it brought some comfort to me. I wnted so much for Dad to hear us. Thank you,Carolyn
