It's not about the beauty
It's not about the look
It's all about the chapters
Making up your book
For all the things I learn you like
Are things that I like too
How easy it would be for me
If I could love on you
I never was a poet
I wrote some here and there
But now I write about you
Words come from everywhere
And if someday should happen
Those words will come alive
And then I'll get to show you
Not one word was contrived
Faith, a mythical bird of your imagination
Sent by an imaginary friend to defend you
who will only help if you have heaped on adoration
I'm not sharing inside information just a realisation, faith isn't your friend !
did faith cure cancer or stop amputations its very over rated
did it save your relations from cremation and stop the emotional devastation
nope !, faith isn't your friend, It promises to deliver you from damnation ,salvation
yet dare to question and excommunication without no questions
so in summation have nothing to do with faith related observations.
because faith isn't your friend

Still, as ever forward motion;
We are all dancers at the Edge of Time
With inside information known to few...
Consigned on stolen parchment...
Just one last poem for my Father
Who was supposed to live forever.
But life betrays us all
At the inimitable end...or beginning.
Daddy, I loved you so;
How did you become a mortal man
While I grew up impossible
Inside the shelter of your haphazard love...?
You were never supposed to die.
You promised me you were invincible...
And your passing was my crucible
Of pain and fire...and freedom.
I never believed you well and truly gone
Until tonight...
When the sound of early thunder
Did not frighten me
Back into your strong arms..
And now...
I can say good-bye,
My Daddy love.
Be at peace.
Watch over me...
Good night, I can now remember
With out tears....
Good night.
HOPE . WISH RELIANCE HOPE
HOPE IS DESIRE , IS WISH
HOPE IS EXPECTATION , IS ANTICIPATION .
HOPE IS BELIEF , IS ACCEPTANCE .
HOPE IS CONFIDENCE , IS INSIDE INFORMATION .
HOPE IS RELIANCE
HOPE IS TRUST IS COMMITMENT
HOPE IS FAITH
(AN OLD PIECE OF PAPER FELL OUT OF DADDY'S BIBLE WITH THIS.)
