I remember as I child
eyeing the Christmas
tree, all lit and broadcasting.
Early-on I realized that Father
was Santa. Mother sensed it
when they married. Father, let go of his
well defined ego, embraced the principal
to secure the family, protect and
serve selflessly onto death.
night sky, autumn stars:
my wife's gentle thoughtfulness
my son's compassion
The Gift of Love
Growing up, love was such a foreign language to me
I have never seen it present ever in the house
My parents have never loved each other, I believe
They only got married because of the accident of me
They were legally obligated to take care of me
And they weren't exactly joyful about doing that job
My parents have never given me anything in my life besides a curse:
The ability to never know what love is or how it feels
School was an estranged experience for me with this irritating curse
I made some friends, thankfully, but still, it lacked what I needed
I care for them as much as I do my family
Which will always be none, I suppose
But I have learned to be ok with this as the years passed
Who needs to know how it feels anyway?
There is a poison that has ravaged man
ever since creation
This poison deceived Adam and Eve
The poison pushed Caleb to murder
his brother
This poison was traced in the family of
Israel
I believe you know the story
This same poison pushed Haman to plan
The mass execution of Jews in the days of
Queen Esther and Mordecai
Now coming to recent times
Hitler and his henchmen planned the
extermination
of Jews during the second World War.
This poison is deadlier than that of the
Adder and the Cobra
The poisonous ivy is hate, now check
yourself if you do not have it reserved
There is an antidote for every poison
The antidote for hate is love.
One of my greatest days
I've experienced in my life
Would easily be August 24th
The day you became my wife
You walked down the aisle
As a music begin to play
I stood waiting at the altar
For so long I dreamed this day
I was so full of happiness and joy
And I was standing there with you
All my dreams prayers and wishes
At that moment were coming true
Together we stood in front of that church
For God and are friends and family to see
Joining are two lives together as one
In a simple and beautiful ceremony
Looking at you with your hand in mine
We vowed to love each other forever
And to always be at by each others side
Believing that our love nothing could sever you
Where oh where can you be now?
Dreaming and waiting for you,
till I met you I will wait.
Baby has arrived.
Lady Diamond rose as each new day dawns
In her gentle hands her household yawns
A model once in the camera’s light
Now clothed in the light of Jesus Christ
She served her husband, taught each child
With patient, grace and spirit mild
Two sons, two daughters, hearts held near
Her labor deep, her teaching clear
By day she gave till strength was thin
By night the moon would tuck her in
The birds sang praise when morning came
And heaven blessed her quiet name
God be praised for women who stand
With Proverbs’ 31 wisdom in their hand
All women, God’s beautiful bouquet
With Lady Diamond showing the way
As parents,
we never know what a child will ask.
All we can do is,
be prepared.
Out of the blue I was asked,
"which one do you love more?"
That was an easy question and answer.
When I give out cookies,
each of you get the same number.
Because I love you each equally.
LONG AGO
It seems the love I've known
Has always been the contingent and transitory kind
Maybe that is why
I have felt so alone
For a long time
Long ago, when I was younger
The feel of life was so good, I thought I’d have a great future
But so many things went annoyingly wrong
Like someone had changed the rules without notice
Many stories that were inspired never got published
Although, a few good things did occur
I lived by day and tried to keep my feelings in
I am not sure how I could have survived without family
But that was so long ago
it rained
and I stayed
not to pause in remembrance
but to wash away
what grief couldn’t
it didn’t matter
that my heart was breaking
what else could it do?
you lie beneath ten feet of dirt
after the slow battle
cancer claimed
and I disappear a little more
each day
healing is a dream
it lives in the stars
or in a glass jar on the mantle
healing
that’s for time to deal with
if I can’t hold your hand one last time
or tell you everything I forgot to say
then time is pointless
right now
rain drowns my sorrow
it stings my skin
and gets in my eyes
no need for tears
but tomorrow
shall start the pain
all over again
and this rain
will be waiting for me
I saw you for the first time today as a lady.
You were sitting in the sand in the late day sun,
Your face framed by the broad-brimmed hat.
You smiled so beautifully under that,
That even your father could see the lady inside.
I saw you for the first time on your birth day.
And I thought I’d never seen a song til then.
But angels whispered and parents prayed
So fervently that angst was stayed.
And the Father blessed the lady inside.
I saw you for the first time as a woman.
It had somehow not occurred to me til then.
That you could have a life apart from me
Or anything other than this family.
But even fathers, someday, must see the lady inside.
small stuff don't matter
it's the bigger things that do
love and family

Challenge to write if you were an animal
Star the magical Unicorn
Im Star not your usual family pet
I don’t live in house, zoo
Im free as a bird in flight
I live in the beautiful magical forest
Amoung nature is best
Rainbows, sparkles everywhere I go
I bring you peace, love, joy great delight
Some people don’t believe I am real
But come visit the magical forest
I show you around , then you’ll believe
Fairies are my best friends
They fly around me giggling all day
Come on ~ come visit me
You’ll be entrapped in tranquility
Think you’ll stay forever with me
In my magical forest
Place to be. ~ come find me
Everyone keeps secrets
Even though they say they don’t
That they are honest to the core
But that is not true
We keep secrets for varies reasons
Some are meant to be a surprise
While others are to hide the truth or
To spare feelings from being hurt
Some memories are just painful
So, they are never spoken.
Unspoken truths are also known
To be secrets, which when found out
Can be the most hurtful
For those we love the most.
So, choose very wisely and be
very careful when keeping secrets
The trickiest parts of keeping secrets
Is the damage they do to trust.
Anthony, we were only eight.
Your gentle soul recognized & spoke to mine.
A family move separated us.
