August 28, 1968
Haiku: by Tom
Cancer was the match
that set my fields on fire.
Then came God’s healing.
I still have dreams of my favorite car
It took me to places not really far
On some days it would not start
One day it just fell apart
So few moments we were on par
1968, the only year
Since the Great War,
Supposed to ensure
We would fight no more,
No combat deaths
Of any serving Brit.
A sobering fact.
But do enough know it?

I prayed that day to feel God’s touch,
I asked no more, just that much,
Prayer was answered from above,
With tear filled eyes I felt His love.
But what did I, a lost man, have to give,
I vowed my heart for as long as I live.
Since that day we’ve not been apart,
He’s won my thoughts and also heart.
TYNE - BUILT SHIP 1968
Gigantic steel behemoth
Sitting on the ways greased
And ready to give it birth,
Ten-storey-high street-darkener,
Rusted and immobile -
Once launched in silent swish
And cheered by a thousand voices,
Transformed to marine elegance,
And slimmed by the vastness
Of the endless ocean -
She moves easily in her element,
Dolphin and whale at the same time.
I'm waiting
for you to admit
just once
that you have never really looked into my eyes
or held my hand
or touched my cheek
I'm waiting
for you to say
just once
that our friendship has made you happy
or our thoughts shared
or our dreams
I'm waiting
for you to ask
just once
for "the privilege of the next dance"
instead of my opinion
or my help
I'm waiting
for you to say
just once
"I love you"
