Premium Member Every So Often

A brave young soldier died,
killed in Afghanistan.
And he'll be interred as
an honored serviceman.

He was placed in harm's way
by those he defended.
And far from family
his shortened life ended.

He was a patriot,
a man of strong morals.
He shunned recognition
and garnered no laurels.

He's dead; I must face that,
but it's breaking my heart.
My son was my hero,
and I'm falling apart.

His duty resulted
in a father's worst fears.
And though I want to cry,
I won't greet him with tears.

His body was sent home
in a flag-draped coffin.
And I go visit his
grave, every so often.

Go Back and Call You Daddy

I don't know
What it is that I've done wrong 
When I was little
You and I could get along

But as I've grown it only seems
What we once had's a memory 
You're the man that I still call my dad
But I'm missing so much more

I wish I could go back and call you daddy
To the days when I 
Was always by your side
I'd look up to you the man who was my hero
To feel the strength of love
That once was
And see it in your eyes

You always write
I love you in my cards
You say you're proud of me and where I've gone
You know that I'll go far

But once in a while what would it hurt
To hear your mouth say those words
Instead we argue bout what I've done
And how I could have done it right

I wish I could go back and call you daddy
To the days when I 
Was always by your side
I'd look up to you the man who was my hero
To feel the strength of love
That once was
And see it in your eyes

I've learned lessons
But not the kind that I had hoped
And now I'm thankful to the good Lord
For a son I call my own

And you can bet that I will let him know
I won't pass down our shadow
You know the one that helped build the walls
And cause us so much strife

I wish I could go back and call you daddy
Back to the days of old 
When I stood by your side
To find out exactly when it happened
When did you set me free
To let me grieve
And finally said goodbye

I still love you like no other dad
I wish somehow we both could try

Premium Member Child Play

As a ...

	child I was carefree 
		played in the mud 
			football my hero
				goals from the foot

	teenager I had worries
		imagined and real
			twisted illusions
				hands on the trigger

	young man I searched
		for a pearl in the shell
			submerged in an oyster
				cracked abalone dreams

	midlife contender I built castles
		fortresses and embrasures
			aimed for dubious targets
				carried quivers and arrows

	midlife defender I proceeded
		octopus in smudged mind
			jellyfish in a broken soul
				starfish bereft of shine

	comet in waiting I flickered
		pondered the milky way
			approached reflections
				condensed my approach

	fading asteroid I wandered
		questions unanswered
			responses transcended
				beginnings of ends

The path took me ...

	to a compass with no needle
		the chart lost on the way
			with a pocketful of marbles
				and a hole in my trousers

	away into an underworld
		a cess pool of promises
			an anchor rising above
				shredded sails on the mast
	
	to a point of surrender
		white flag crusted in salt
			the earth as a rainbow
				horizon in waves

	a tool kit of memories
		scraped knees once again
			scabby wounds healing
				shedding my score sheet

The aging child ...

	needs no referee 
		no penalty zone
			no final whistle
				no chalk in the dirt

	thrives in the mud
		balls up or not
			shelters a mussel 
				opens the drawbridge

        back to the square root 
	        equating adventures
		         the circle half finished
			        I pump up the ball

                                I moved a few goal posts
	                 changed my position of play
		removed strings from my boots
	walk the pitch back to the roots

Childish or a bit wiser but carefree at last ...

Premium Member Greatest Love

At last, a chance to write to you and tell you how I feel
Beside you every day I stand, my love I now reveal.
Cradled in your arms at night, with you content to lie
Devilish good looks you have, delicious on the eye.
Endless days of ecstasy, entice me with your charm
Forever in my heart you’ll stay, my never-ending calm.
Gentle, kind, and generous, my girlish hopes fulfil
Happy with you by my side, you are my hero still.
In love with you, I’ve always been, I want no other man
Jealously I’ve never had, I am your greatest fan.
Knowing that you keep me safe, protector of my soul
Loving you eternally will always be my goal.
Marry you I couldn’t wait, to hear those words’ I do’
No other man would ever be quite as good as you.
Obsessed, you hold me in your spell, my object of desire
Passionately you kiss my lips; you set my heart on fire.
Quarrels’ few, no grudges held, get over them real fast
Respect each other’s differences and let the past be past.
Surprise me with your little gifts, send roses every week
Trust in your great wisdom too, for this I’ll always seek.
Understanding of my needs, into your arms enfold
Vulnerable I never feel, cause’ you keep out the cold.
Walking hand in hand with you, great comfort you provide
X-ray my soul, you would find your imprint stamped inside.
You are my everlasting love, my treasured caring king
Zero do I want or need; you are my everything.

Premium Member Daddy Lee Happy Father Day-

My father, Joseph 

my hero 
was a chief 
in the Navy ship
A veteran of World War Two
a mentor 
though the years, surefooted 

a guide 
served 2 terms
got out ended up in Omaha
in a moment of loss 
in a storm 
found a woman named Annie Bell
proposed marriage till death did they part

you are the one, 
my father, Joseph 
you had some sons
of which I am one
I thank you, dad, for all you've done
I thank you for being faithful to mom
I thank you, dad, for showing me
how to save money 
you were self-employed for 20 years
I saw in you a strong, loud little man
Only had tears in your eyes that I saw twice
When your mother died, when your wife died, mom
Miss you now that you're gone
Been 33 years since your death, in my prays I say

Happy Father's Day!


King David and My David

I knew a little shepherd boy,
handsome and full of courage.
He once slew a bear,
with a hand bare of weapon.
He had snuffed out the life of a lion,
And giants were toys he could break.
He was strong at heart and body
A man after God's heart he was.
Yet, he had his flaw,
and was weak as any man could be.
He once hewed coal on his chest,
and was burnt to the marrow thereof.
Though, great pardon he got when he repented,
yet, the scare was too much to fade.
Biblical King David is my hero indeed,
For I have learnt from his strength and weakness.
Another David now I have.
He is my hero and prince charming,
A kind and loving husband,
who can give out his precious eyes, 
for another to know the joy of seeing.

Premium Member Dad

Dad

Very creative with his hands, loved unconditionally, spiritual believes

Husband of my mother, father to four sons and four daughters,
 grandfather and great-grandfather  

Loved his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren unconditionally, work alcoholic welder, hunting and fishing, 
strong Catholic faith, tamales 

Who hated not working, not being able to watch boxing, 
not being able to see his children as they got older

Had no fear of anything except losing his loved ones

Who would have loved to live longer than he did without Parkinson’s

Born, raised, and passed in Texas

My loving Dad

As My Tears Fall For My Dad  
One Father One Mother
A bond from the heavens on the flight of a dove
Unconditional love
Perceived and felt first in their hearts
~
Sickness
~
Has taken daddy away  
With the release of a dove
To be with his own parents in paradise
No longer does he suffer
He is sheltered in perfection from all illness, pain, and sorrow
~
I grief
~
Drowning in tears
I wasn’t ready for him to leave
~
I miss
~
Looking at the man that was my hero
His whispers when he’d say I love you
The smell of his cologne  
~
Though
~
I smile to know
He still lives on in my heart
His life has not ended
~
But
~
Started a new life in paradise

I just would like to say I love you one more time

Premium Member - I Dream -

                      The night was unbearably barren and cold
                       - annihilated details of the celestial bodies
                              Stars flung away by just a roar
                Purple moon split as cardboard ... crumbled as a moth
                             The comet's tails were set on fire
                        catastrophic flames raged through the night
                 Naked marble statues with empty eyes that don't flinch
                  left behind the smell of aged conditioner and sweat
                  Their existence consequently cannot be recognized
                     Is the key of the present bound to the past ?
                            Their embrace instantly endeared me
                            broken hearts marbles lost the match
                         A dream I will never be able to document
                            I slept under the haunted night lamp
                                no princesses attended the ball
                                       - don't kill my hero

Premium Member This Is My Song

When was the last time I saw you?
When was the last time I kissed you?
You always say you'll be there for me
You always say you'll be my hero.

When was the last time I hugged you?
When was the last time I cared? (I said, "I love you?")
You always say I am the only one
You always say I am your everything.

How will I know you are true to me?
If you will leave me with questions in my mind.
How will I know I am the only one?
If you will just leave with no reminding signs.

I always keep you in my heart
(In my mind) I do and I always will.
In my soul, you will always be (my hero)
The one and my everything like you said I am to you!

I woke up one morning without you by my side
I cried and tried to fight these feelings I have for you.
Never learned how to keep them or put them aside
It is because it's my whole life that I'm offering for you 

Teach me to be strong, so you can leave me alone.
Teach me to be safe, so you can let me astray.
Teach me to be kind... kind enough to care for myself 
  everyday.
Teach me to be brave... brave enough to stand all alone.

This is my song.
