Poets:Those Enlightened by God

              7/27/2025


Daddy, I wish you’d return from your heavenly home.
And, I’d  be your little girl, in brown braids, once again!
I thought by now, I knew it all, but such is not the case!
It seems with the world, I am trying to keep a fast pace.

You did teach me to love God first, and for His love, I never do thist.
Nor to chase empty prizes from my fellow man!
For all wins come from His softest hands.
Never from cold, intellectual, mental , sands

Thank you, God, for all genuine, poetic, loving friends
Keep us, kind, true, with honesty , that forgives, that mends.
To help us create a world of humane understandings,
Not a cruel world, dismissve of theolological bindings!

Hi Pangie, I'm sure your father is looking down from heaven with a smile, he certainly taught you well, I believe all the honest and genuine people will receive their rewards in heaven. xx

hi John, I don’t worry about who got there and who didn’t. I worry about people here that means myself and other ones who are still breathing.. I do think if you were good you’re going there and if you were foolish to make some very silly moves, know you won’t be therthank you for being a standby friend along with Gershon. Pangiexx
