Freedom

Freedom to write
Is our true might
A way for pain
To begin to wane

My fingers are light
They are only too willing
To release the thoughts
Which my mind finds so filling

With me truth has been said
To be most often my stead
I will put none other before it
Until the day that I wed

Confusing to some, although this poem may be
More so, inspiration to others that I may see
A day shall pass, a day close by
That I may bear witness and testify

While we live a life of ease
Surrounded by many unfortunate, who die of disease
Oblivious is our utopia, in final sum
Pity us all, for we have made it our outcome.......

I Wonder Why

Every day my thoughts are spinning

Have I really lost or could I be winning

Not a lot has come to a change

Except life's adventure she can't arrange

So she throws out stories she believes are true

I go along telling her how great it was and something again we must do

In front of her I won't shed a tear

I'll only make sure she knows that I am here

She eats very little but full her plate we kept

There when she wakes and while she's slept

Some day she has no idea who I may be

I take care of her is all she can see

People ask how I can drop my every day routine

To those people all I say is " That is what Love really means"

Put on your big boy pants and for awhile forget about fun

Believe each moment you have could be the last one

Her pain I just can not sooth and she hurts every time I help her more.

She has been huge part of this life I am in

She was there before it even would first begin

Easier this wouldn't ever get

She slowly dieing and all I can do is sit

Tear in my eyes and falling apart

No matter what she's got a big place in my heart

I wonder if I will make this through

While second guessing all that I do

When she passes who should I blame

Do I express myself or call it God's claim

Some say I am doing nothing more then baby sitting

But the work this all takes they just aren't getting

For 3 days I've helped her as I cried

I ask God, To Take her , how could you decide

Believe this has Humbled me more then just a little bit

This is the part of life I wasn't prepared to hit

Mean , tough and heartless many times I have been Described

That whole side of me is now filled with helping and pride

As I sit back help, shed tears as to handle this all I try

But God why pick me to show " How I Lie"

On her last day who can really blame

Or do I thank God,"For taking her and ending her pain ?"

I do feel that I've done my part

That doesn't make it easier for my broken heart

There is something I really don't get

Good people die while on this earth the rotten one's still sit!

I know God does things in his very own way

but I am beginning to wonder," Does he hear me when I pray!

Premium Member Oak Tree

the Oak  Tree

You were always someone special
In the midnight hours in my dream
I could really feel the tension
A tree, a limb, a friend
No matter how hard life came at me
There you stood perfectly
Letting me lean up against your stand
I will never forget the day you swayed the first hi 
I talked as if you were hearing
A tree, a piece of wood in my path
A punching bag
My Oak Tree you will always be

One day in my sorrowed life 
I stopped by just to reminisce 
Your beauty, I find so divine
Your leaves took me backwards
I fell in love with your soul all over again
With a beauty, I find so divine 
Hope you will always be there my friend
Indulging the felling you transcend 
A cold spot never found in you
Re-breathing your surround, no need to make a sound
The power you have when you make my heart mend
My Oak Tree you will always be my friend

In the lowest day of my life
I went on a secret walk to look for comfort
The beauty of you is no longer there
Walking around with an extra deep pain of hurt
Not sure how one could bare such a loss
Dropping myself to my Knees upon the dirt
An empty spot is the only thing there
My friend I thought you would always be there 
How can they take you away from this world?
A lonely field
No root, no seed
Loneliness no one to lean up against
You will no longer be there
How could they cut down, my friend?
My friend the Oak Tree.

Where are your seeds?

Premium Member If I Had Just One Day Left To Live

If I had just one day left to live
Wisdom I'd share to my children I'd give
Just for a while we would sit down and talk
A last sitting for us all, before my soul walks

We would talk of our past remembering all the times we have shared
Look to your future for my last day I'm prepared
For a couple of hours my favourite films I would watch
The Shawshank and Private Ryan, with a Jack Daniels no Scotch

With the hours, minutes and seconds ticking by
My eyes will soon close and I'll say my goodbye's
I'll miss all of nature and the warmth of the sun
But most of all my children, my daughter and three sons

The evening now draws as I look back on my years
What little light I see goes, now the blackness appears

Premium Member Favorite Movie Performance By Actor Colin Firth: a Single Man

L.A ‘62. English professor George (Colin Firth) is mourning the loss of his gay partner. He's 
spent the day reliving memories, but that night meets his student Kenny (Nicholas Hoult), 
who secretly admires him, in a bar. The two end up at George’s house after a spontaneous 
ocean swim. Kenny has just emerged from the shower,wrapped in a towel. George is making 
a fire. When Kenny goes to get a beer, he discovers a nude photo of George’s dead lover in 
a drawer. His suspicions about his teacher are confirmed. A beautiful score of stringed 
music, nostalgic and tender draws me in to every nuance of Colin's performance.

George, feeling foolish and seeming a bit flushed with anticipation (yet restraining himself 
from improper conduct), sits on a chair across from the young man when the boy returns to 
the living room. A conversation ensues in which George asks Kenny questions, trying to 
discern the young man’s reasons for being there that night. The boy, too, is trying to learn 
things about George, but keeps hedging with his responses to George‘s questions, and 
nothing completely “telling” is ever said. Meanwhile, their eyes linger on each other. The 
young man’s eyes are an enchanting almost gleaming blue; I find it hard myself to look away 
from his sweet face. My eyes are also riveted every second to George’s face and to its many 
subtle changes of expression.. Finally, the boy asks George something and at that moment,  
George’s face blurs. My curiosity is very aroused when suddenly the scene has switched to 
George awaking at about 3 a.m. from his bed.. The young man, however, is not in the bed 
(as I had hoped he would not be). He is asleep on the sofa, and he clutches in his hands the 
gun which George had planned to shoot himself with. Had George revealed his plan to end 
his life that day to his student? Was that what happened in those missing hours? Had the 
boyish Kenny (while George was sleeping off his drunkenness) found the gun in the same 
way he had discovered the picture of George’s partner and now was holding it to prevent 
George from carrying out his suicide? I know I am soon going to learn George’s fate. . .
