An Amazing Son
An Amazing Son I wouldn’t trade you for the world. I enjoy spending time with ya. All my belongings will be yours one day. You will carry out my last name. I miss you when we're not together. When I’m gone, I will still be with you forever. You're growing up too fast. Together we...

FATHERS AND SONS
MY BOYS ARE MY LIFE. BEING WITH THEM MOST OF THEIR LIVES TILL NOW, WITH THIS UNFORESEEN CHANGE HAS AFFECTED US AND CHANGED OUR LIVES. OUR QUALITY OF LIFE HAS DIMINISHED. I AM NOT AS HAPPY. FOOD DOESN'T TASTE THE SAME. THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE WITHOUT MY BOYS. WHEN I SPEAK WITH THEM, I CAN HEAR IT IN...

Lord, it is to you only this father prays. Show my children and grandchildren the right way. Please open their hearts to grasp your words. Open Lord their ears so that you'll be heard. Jesus open the Disciples minds as part of his plan. Please open theirs too, so they might understand. Make them hungry enough to crave you everyday. Draw them...

Absence
Though the carpet teemed with costumes, toys and figures, laid orderlessly, it was barren. Distant echoes of the battery powered monkey clapped naively through the still air, and its dim LED eyes softly flickered. A thread of light shifted through the overcast clouds and chipped window pane, placing itself where someone had once been. Each step...

Picture this
Picture this You're eight years old, in your bedroom, playing with your favorite stuffed animals. But not far from your door, the sounds of raised voices echo-voices that do not sound happy. You shift your focus back to your toys: Three different teddy bears. One is the daddy, one is the mommy, and one is the daughter. You make the bears do...

life has it happens
LIFE AS IT HAPPENS BAD THINGS HAPPEN AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME. WE CALL IT MURPHY'S LAW, BAD LUCK, EVEN KARMA. GOOD THINGS HAPPEN, AND WE REFER TO IT AS SERENDIPITY, MIRACLES OR A FORTUNATE EVENT. BE IN THE MOMENT AND EMBRACE THE DAY AS IT COMES. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT GOD WILL SURPRISE YOU WITH....

From a Rant at 2AM
I know you lived too long. I used to think I did too. But, I can't teach you this. I'm busy teaching myself to be nothing like you. Rotten work , picking scabs. But no one can do it but you....

Hey Dad!
Hey Dad! Hey Dad! Is that you knocking at the door outside? I'm excited to let you know how great was my first horse ride. Mom was waiting for you on the couch — another quiet night. Is your job so hard? Well, I hope everything's alright. Good night Dad. Hey Dad! Today's my 7th birthday! My friends were looking for you...

With His arms wide open and His head bowed low He prayed to His Father, without making a show Two thieves at His side, one repented one not Savior of this world, gave it all He got They placed Him in a tomb and rolled up the stone all that was left of Him was flesh...

A Welcome into the Dark
A legendary dark, so thick, A corrosive smog to my young eyes that itched, My kid-glove skin crawled like the parasitic tick, It felt as though my whole system glitched. A welcome into the dark cave, Exhilarating walk from the womb—a step into the mystery, Where shadows of truth barely behave, The haste of rolling days writes the history. A love missed—he...
