I walk over mountains barefooted
I stand my heart posture beating, racing;
Toe in the desert sands;
Environment no conflict
My arms and hands raised
Shaped in the victory sign
I’m His, I’m a winner;
An old school beginner;
And I rely on my Father’s love;
… I stand tall in him beautiful always
Hallelujah

"We love the things we love for what they are". Hyla Brook, Robert Frost
When I fell in love with my bride of 49 years;
When I asked Her hand in marriage, and she said "Yes";
When we both said "I do", Never knowing what tomorrow would bring;
Or whether our skies would be grey or blue.
When I took her home and made her my own;
It was never about what I wanted her to become.
But all my love for her was about 'the presently'.
It was not about what she may have been yesterday.
It was not about who she might become tomorrow.
It was all about who and what she was on our wedding day.

saw blue peek out - yesterday.
what? you say:
i tawt i taw a puddy tat.*
i did! i did!*
and white and purple clouds,
for realz,*
can’t make this up.
and yet, today,
the sky is made of steel,
so back to
same old same old.*
at least the trees
remain in the same
bat time bat place*
and
i got you babe.*

If we could apply all of our present technology,
to the social structure globally,
scientifically and humanly,
we would realize how ignorant and primitive we are living presently.
Just presently, I find that I'm alive,
And find that living's better than the grave...
Behold! I am! The Servant seeks to strive,
And knows that daily living tests the Brave!
Professor Petal, one of Patrick’s prolific pals,
Professed he had a Pollyanna Predisposition
Properly pronouncing pronouns without perky p’s.
A pithy proclivity, providing pollution to Professor Petal’s pronunciations.
Prissy Professor Patty from Prestigious Prussian Planet Philisophi-university,
Precariously prickled, privately at Professor Petal’s Pronoun-predicament.
Prissy Patty promptly planned a plane trip to Professor Petal’s Pre-existing pub.
Where placidly placed, Professor Petal, prevailed as President of Porous Pool Table Pro.
Privacy prevailed, as Professor Patty, presently at Pub, perceived Professor Petal.
Prissy Patty, partook of Paradise Pop-In-Pink Parboils, as she patty-caked in the pub.
Prissy Patty was soon pretty Patty, and Petal took her home, a primed and perfect professor.
Plenty of preemptive laughs prevailed, as they both wondered what pronoun begins with a P anyway?
