My youngest son is forty-six years old
A chip off the old block as they say
I take full responsibility for this young fellow
Scott is his name, silliness is his game
Proud as punch of that boy
'Why grow up' has always been my motto
He has certainly accepted it as his as well
Like two peas in a pod we are
Poor dear wife Cathie
She is tested daily by us two extreme characters
She deserved some kind of an award, a medal
For endurance under extreme comedic conditions
The word 'serious' does not exist in our vocabulary
Life is one big hoot
And why not... the alternative sucks
Did I say I'm proud as punch of this fellow
A successful computer guru
Heading up the Creative Services Department
For a large company servicing the pharmaceutical industry
Did I say I'm proud as punch of this fellow
I'm repeating myself aren't I
He's the apple of my eye
Ironically, we are both Apple Computer geeks!
We're both bytes out of the old Apple

My dear mother was a jewel and a rock to my father She increased his value and strengthened his stand
My father knew it and never took her for granted My mother believed in him when few others did
Father's days were hard and hot; his nights at home were not Mother is my model and she has groomed me for my future groom
I believe you to be the man that God has planned and purposed for me I will make you proud with sons and daughters, and always love you.
You are my knight in shining armor and the one whom I most cherish and honor. You will always be on the throne of my heart, and only God will reign higher than you. I believe that you will always love and protect me; and I will not disrespect you, my love. You shall always be the apple of my eye and the center of my heart's affections.

From fence to fence
From curb to fence
For all occupants
We seek Your defense
Your light projects
Your will protects
Evil spirits everywhere
I say to them to beware
The darkness will not prevail
For God‘s love will never fail
When we worship together with angels
The blood of Jesus is my divine covering
Turn around
Don’t drown
When encountering (1)
Thank you, sweet lamb of God.
Always goes with me.
And the angels that go before
And minister for us
Peace and grace fall
I’m covered by fresh fire
Unholy burns away when I’m with you.
We are loved dearly by God
You are the apple of my eye.
Hide me under the shadow of thy wings. (2)
I thirst and I am hungry.
I’m not here for blessings. (3)
I’m not here for miracles.
I need you, all I need is you.
I know my identity.
I know whose I am.
On the day of Christ Jesus
Sometimes I am weak.
God is always strong. Sometimes I doubt.
God is always faithful.
Soak in his light and inwardly we let Him in.

Screaming writhing violent
uncontrollable spasms of abandonment
immediately followed her (like Mary's lamb)
where e'er she went
verbal communication attempt didst rent
ear piercing outpouring
barrage heard clearly by vested gent,
a bajillion miles away e'en
stymying the likes of Lois Lane, Clark Kent
or special ABC letter writ agent,
when aforementioned younger daughter
raged day and night without abatement
soon after our baby's birth
agonizing distress self evident
when bundle of joy became a toddler,
which ordinary concomitent
expectant joyful milestones
hoop fully attendant
with hypothetical offspring
aurally learning oral rudiment
basis of language skill
with instructional accouterment
mastering native tongue
celebratory breakthru achievement
acquiring brisk command of lingua franca
easily excelling telly
tubby "FAKE" accent
gibberish with cogent
encoded development coaxed ability
regarding divine acknowledgement
pertaining to obvious delayed development,
when dada decried disabled
doc's "NON FAKE"
dupe forced mine abhorrent
realization upon crestfallen papa,
that our precious progeny
requisite remedial requirement
versed here, viz poetic abridgement
thee youngest of
(deux) daughters afflicted
at young age initial
general consensus genetic accident
engendered ambiguous diagnosis,
cuz forming words absent
purportedly linkedin with
high functioning autism
spurred self blame abutment,
sans cognitive fluke (most
likely inherited) malady immediate adherent
parental duty entailed, promoted
vouchsafed, et cetera
lifelong intervention convert,
a blessed webbed accompaniment
decades later nearly wrought total abolishment
whereat now grown year old lass
defied wildest predictions, adjustment
witnessed thee cherished apple of my eye
metamorphosed since early adolescent
to secure part time employment
attending Bend, Oregon Community College
and coordinating advancement,
where Shana Punim secured plane ticket
and took to friendly skies to my amazement!
Sometimes I sit by myself and I think of our past
Having no idea then - that this long it would even last
In 2015 you showed me a fake side of you
We knew from the beginning you weren't telling me the truth
But as fake as you were in the past we were stronger
Now eight years later we're struggling to keep it up any longer
There was smiles, laughter, & memories when you wore the mask
And now we're so lost and confused, trying to repair these gaps
Heartbroken because I don't know what happened along the way
But I fear after all this pain - we'll never be okay
Baby you have the wrong image of me in your head
So you fight me, push me away, and choose to hate me instead
Nothing I do will ever be able to prove how I feel for you
But remember - from the beginning - I always remained true
The heart inside my chest grows weaker every single passing day
Nothing I do will ever make you satisfied - it'll always be your way
Yet still you say you want marriage and a family with me, too
You're wishing and hoping what we've lost will someday renew
Jaded and lost in the winding darkness I weep with little to no regret
You were always the apple of my eye, but emotionally and physically you left
You've successfully indoctrinized me into being alone all the time
While in our bones and spirit - you were never truly MINE
From the start your tongue spit poisonous lies
Here I remain, lost on a dusty shelf I sit as your ball-in-chained prize
The tendons and veins shred through my jagged misunderstood heart
So I'll sit here all by myself and cry - yearning for us to restart
Cozy night bubbles a crimson delight
Moon and stars tango on angelic heights
Beside, pillowed the apple of my eye
His breathing languidly rhythmic with mine
His thudding heartbeat a stellar of light
Arch strong features - repleting me with might
The silence - a roaring serenity
Next to him my euphoric ecstasy
I adoringly stare on his presence
Memorizing fully his very essence
Touch of cotton - soft, I run my fingers
To each square inch, I caress to linger
Wrapped tight in his musky heavenly scent
Praying forever not only for rent
But soon... I must leave you not to sin more
Saving you from patches of harlequin
I thank heavens for this amazing date
Hating me is better than sinful fate

An expedition back into the dark jungle,
a rain forest shrouded in the haze of history,
brought about by hidden enterprises.
Lost and Found

Battle weary am I, war warn.
To shreds has my heart been, torn.
From my middle Daughter, only scorn.
Mouthing hateful words, my soul doth morn.
My heart laden heavy by the icy coldness
from adolescent, peer mimicry, its boldness.
Living with fear of love lost, of lost intimacy.
I feel I have no more, as a father, legitimacy.
My heart, my soul tortured by all the pain.
Echoing off the barren, jagged walls, of my terrain.
Monsoons battering these walls, with heavy rain
saturating every synaptic cleft of my shattered brain
with the death of my tears, as they become lost
in the quagmire of life, what a disastrous cost.
Does it come from her head, I might have a chance.
From her heart, it will destroy this parent’s dance.
All this dread, drenches the trenches in my head.
Does all of this mean, to her, in her mind, I am dead.
It seems, as her parent, her father, I have lost any chance.
The price I have to pay for standing up, taking a stance.
All the lies culminate with the loss of belief.
Deceptions, con games, from them no relief.
Lost faith, loss of trust only offer one, grief.
Respite from all of this heart ache is so brief.
These hateful, mean spirited words resonate
disrespect, rebellion, verbal abuse that state,
this war I wage, with such rage, will go on and on
until a light comes on, on a new day it will dawn.

Epilog
Twenty three years have slipped by.
The Daughter, once the apple of my eye,
I no longer hear from or get to see.
Phobias, anxieties, that is all she be.
Revisited, Revised

For all the time I made you feel unloved, I’ll cry a tear, and praise to the skies above,
That you can forgive me, forgive the hurt that I caused you my beloved.
Not a moment in time passes by, where you’re not my pride, you’re always the apple of my eye,
I know I caused such heartache, I know I caused a loss in trust,
But know one thing, that I love you, you must.
I never wished to have a moment away from you, I made a mistake, it was never adieu.
I cannot bare to think that I ruined our bond, to lose all feeling, for you to not respond,
To my heart that beats for you, to my heart that bleeds for you,
I know you’re confused, I know you feel lost.
Because you feel like our love, away I just tossed,
I’ll spend everyday, finding a away, to show I feel no less,
To show my heart still races with your caress,
To show my life with your presence you bless.
You amaze me still with all that you do,
From sitting beside me,
And for you, learning something new.
I hope one day you’ll love me like you did,
Forgive the wrong I done,
The hurt I caused,
For what I misdid
Form:
Sweetie I'm amazed as words roll off your lips
Like the sweetest of honey I long for a sip
Sweetie I'm amazed by the way that you walk
That lovely movement as I watch your hips rock
Sweetie I'm amazed by the way that you think
Nothing compares to this satisfying drink
Sweetie I'm amazed that you love me so much
I'm electrified by your passionate touch
Sweetie I'm amazed that you're part of my life
All my dreams came true when you became my wife
Sweetie I'm amazed by the ways you have grown
Together we harvest the love we have sewn
Sweetie I'm amazed I'm such a lucky guy
You're my valentine the apple of my eye
