I once lived in a land of welcomes, greetings, hellos, and sweet goodbyes I now reside forevermore in a forever place of hellos and never goodbyes
Here I stand in darkness, nowhere near anything that looks like home Fear came with my fall from grace, but I am also dejected and alone
My abode was a most beautiful mansion overlooking a scenic hillside I am now condemned to this awful dwelling place, wishing only to hide
Everything I behold is fraudulent, including the flowers in my hand I was condemned to this place of the doomed and never never land
I have no one to blame, because it was I who caused this awful pain I have been a receiver and not a giver, because I sought only to gain
A fake, a flake, a heart breaker, and an unmerciful taker A sin seeker; now, I'm being punished with the evil maker I am one of many fallen angels who flirted with danger And to confusion and rebellion, I was not a stranger
I knew better, but willfully chose not to listen or heed the Divine I chose to be selfish and proud, always reaching for what was mine
The light that I see here is only streaks of fear pretending to be light There's only darkness here, designed to torment and forever strike fright

does the dawn fall in love with
the receding night?
does the sun long to merge with
the silvery beams of the moon?
does the blue sky ever attempt to kiss
the earth in a tight embrace?
do the mountains strive to touch
the stars of the firmament?
is it not the red tint of the morn
that colours the cheeks of the dusk?
is it not the smile of the moon
that lessens the wrath of the sun?
is not the sky sharing the earth’s pain
as it sheds tear drops in sweltering heat?
aren’t the twinkling stars covering the darkness
lending a radiant sparkle to the black granite?
thus through mutual love, the world prospers.
love turns the world around,
enriching the donor and the receiver
it gives more than the soul can aspire
it lights up more than darkness can hide
it fills the void, makes us whole
a lighthouse to the sailors at sea
the greatest gift, a treasure of measureless worth
so love as never before, love till you die!
American green
The tree of life gave birth to a nation and these men who helped nature
shape it. The father of our Country George Washington the 1st President.
There is Thomas Jefferson author of the Declaration of Independence.
There's ol' Abraham Lincoln issuing the Emancipation Proclamation
he enforced, and Alexander Hamilton the first Secretary of Treasury
and most famous dueler of course. What about Andrew Jackson the Indian
remover and election winner but loser, or Ulysses S. Grant victorious Union
General, boring President. Next is William McKinley Spanish-American War
winner and assassination receiver. Don't forget Grover Cleveland only man to
be elected president, then lose, then get elected again. Our third President
James Madison who fathered our Constitution and a guy named Salmon Chase
but ambition killed him. Last on this list Mr. Woodrow Wilson who brought us into
and out of World War I, that was fun...Do you yet see these men's commonality?
They are the faces of our wealth for they are all money green...
Telephone / Gossip
Written: by a Grouchy Old Codger
1/7/2014
There’s an individual who calls each day,
To reach out and touch he does his best.
Whether we’re at home or have gone away,
He calls, and calls, making himself a pest.
At morning he often calls before eight,
Sometimes from bed he causes Ern to rise;
Or after I’m in bed and it’s grown late,
Upon grabbing the phone, surprise, surprise.
Instructions are don’t call, before or past nine,
And it’s never about anything that would matter.
But I suspect he knows it induces my whine,
It’s just more have you heard or idle chatter.
I’ll lift the receiver and place it back down,
But he’s spreading the gossip causing undue fears.
He don’t get my message, I get lecture and frown,
While he, like an intercom, repeats all he hears.
He’s the last call at night and first each morn,
I cherish AM quiet time and start my day slow.
So he’s as annoying to me as a stuck car horn,
And nothing has happened that he needs to know.
I know his isolation/loneliness is what’s at stake,
But truth is I’m sick of being his phone call dodger.
As I search for solutions to my getting a break,
I’m on my soapbox becoming a grouchy old codger.
Ern has a Cell phone that’s her emergency tool,
Not for toll free calls seemingly coming at will.
Nor is it loaded with Apps that make her drool,
It’s just used for talking not texting that pill.

Was it his head tilt that stumped me—
Was it his keen variations of hilarity,
Was it his words—wild, strange, free,
Like a bird straight out of captivity?
He had a frisky, playful tongue
That sounded like a friend
With no limitations save the time span
Of sixty seconds—
There—none wasted—
No—a wit sharp and full enough
Uttering colloquial meanings I could only dream
To attain through a matter
Of a downloaded app
And yet—he needed only sixty seconds
—on the spit and spot—
To relay inch by inch
A soul so beautiful and rich,
Creative and lovely,
With flawless bite and light
Smart phone readied,
His big toe hit the record button
As he played his tunes,
As he always had
And always will.
He called it the Toe Jam Jamboree,
And I applauded ever so inwardly
With a smile of awed sincerity
Sixty seconds and it ends,
Cut off too soon—
The limitations of fellow man
And fellow receiver
Playfully cruel
Ever playing through
Maybe the thick sail of tunes reached my ears
Beyond the time of the app’s snipping jeers
I told him—ever so inwardly,
His Toe Jam Jamboree was symphony—
Onward with sovereigns in silver harmonies
Reaching a peasant’s light and a warrior’s fight
Straight to a lone cock with feathers too bright
Beak strong-held high, and sharp
Ready to peck his way out of the coldest of hearts
And into ripples of rhythmic paradise
Where there breathes
The guy who attracted me,
With his tilted head,
His words of glee,
Flipping off every useless ad
And sifting words and airs like mad
Toe Jam Jamboree, he called it
And I call it symphony
With a steadied foot
And a readied middle finger
It’s his difference that will always
Linger
Words can paint a picture, meant only for the ears to view
As thoughts can spark the actions for the will of the body to do
The ground is full of footsteps of the path from roads taken
As the sun rising in the distance reveals that the dawn has awakened
When perspective sits atop the world for the showing,
The goodness of the moment passes without the mind ever knowing
But when the brilliance of the moment ceases and the sweetness has become rotten
The darkness grabs the mind's attention when good thoughts have been forgotten
When disparity assumes perspective, it is thought that all light has ended
But when perspective provides the spark the loss of emptiness can be mended
Donation of the self is the act of the most valuable giving
As quality exceeds survival in moments of better living
One cannot receive that which one does not bestow
For knowledge is meant to be used it is not enough to simply know
But when attention is paid, the revenue of the mind
Attention is given in return for the solutions the mind quests to find
Like the gift receiver that appreciates with thee greatest gratitude
The universe rewards the soul with the greatest attitude
Whispers of faith rain over my heart
Reminding me why I’m here, I’m alive
Feeling the joy and delight of knowing
His love is here inside, breathing hope
Into my soul, where I can always know
The light that shines down from heaven
Is filled with inspiration, kindness, grace
Wonders so beautiful they imitate the
Praise that frees my thoughts and mind
With admiration, adoration, devotion
For the One who makes my life so bright
It feels like love has colored the skies
Serenity so soothing it seems to embrace
My thoughts, my feelings, my belief, my dreams
With jewels of elation freeing me from fear
Assuring my heart that I’m forever His
Child of the King, believer and receiver
Follower of Jesus, the way, the truth, the life
The One who brings me forgiveness for sin
And fills my soul with a brilliant assurance
That He is always there for me, faithful,
Praiseworthy, the answer to my every prayer
For hope that uplifts and cheers my heart
With kindness that knows He brings satisfaction.
Prayers are lifted to spark His insight
Into the moment, the position, the heart
Who needs His love, His light, His kindness
Poured out on the appeal for His tenderness
His gift of grace, His inspiration and faith
The miracle of the love that He brings
To every need, each request, every blessing
All the feeling that comes alive inside
The soul who knows His unconditional love!
With every thought, each moment, all that comes
There is the blessing of His captivating hope
His enchanting faith and His charismatic love
Flowing through the veins of those who know
His blood covers every sin, each offence, all wrong
With the purity of His everlasting sacrifice
For the ones who believe in Him through it all
Give back to Him their hearts who know He is
The answer for us all, the light in the darkness
The joy that lives in the soul who knows Him.
Walked into a door frame and battered my shoulder
Felt I’d done battle with some kind of boulder
I thought I’d need more than a dollop of ointment
So I rang the doctor to book an appointment
The clock told me it was fifteen after nine
And kling klangy muzak assaulted my mind
It took a few minutes but then I was told
My call was important… please hold
At one point she said I was eighth in the queue
I watched a fly circling for something to do
Don’t say I’m important and then make me hold
Just answer my phone call before I get old
At thirty five minutes a strange sudden silence
Left me inclined towards uncontrolled violence
My mood was nosediving my demeanour, black
I splatted the fly when the muzak came back
I grumbled as I felt my impatience climb
And pulled out my finger nails one at a time
And as a makeshift agitation reliever
I bashed my own head with the handheld receiver
Well maybe my call’s not important but then
She told me it was… again… and again
I got really angry, I felt at a loss
And then I said I’m gonna show her who’s boss
So when a voice said, “Can I be of assistance?”
I answered, “No,” with a spiteful insistence
I slammed the phone down and it jolted my shoulder
My wife grinned and said, “Well, that really told her!”
[The average wait for an answer when calling
my doctor’s surgery is 45 minutes]
Life is to be enjoyed while we learn from God Who teaches the best lesson:
Such is to love Him above all – in and out of season
To esteem Him with pure heart’s reason
Seeking His grace to transform us to be a better person.
Life is to be optimized while we understand that to fear the Lord is vital
Since doing so for wisdom-gaining is fundamental
To keep us from sin that’s perilous and fatal
Bringing us His blessings in their grand total.
Life is to be shared while we trust God’s Word which we must cherish
As our faith stands against trends that easily perish
Upheld by His truth mere opinions can’t tarnish
In His confidence He does readily furnish.
Life is to be valued while we flee from worldly influences’ destruction
Overcoming pride, flesh and vanity’s temptation
As we walk through the Spirit’s confirmation
While in His fellowship we bring to Him our petition.
Life is to be grateful for while we stay in God's will* where He is the Driver
For that’s the best choice we have as His love-receiver
We abide in Him, by His mercy, quitting never
Blooming where He has planted us to be a help-giver.
*Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
