Remember Why

Mery Christmas to you, Merry christmas to all, but do you remember the man who had to 
fall.  When you open your gifts and things you feel have worth  lets not forget a miraculous 
birth, From manger to cross it was his life that he lost so this wonderful man could pay our 
cost.  Santa and rudolph i like them too, candy,cakes, the tree and lights they are nice, but 
lets not forget the man who paid the ultimate price.   To say happy holidays or merry  x-mas 
is not what you should say.  If you take Christ out of Christmas it's just another day, 
because Jesus paid a price that we were unable to pay.  To tell you to follow Jesus is not for 
me to say- if you live by the sword you will die by the sword, as for me and my house we 
serve the lord.                                            Richard Hardiman

I Remember

To all those who have been touched by terrorism or fear, September 11, 2001 is not the 
first or last time we will be touched by those who envy and want our way of life. We will go 
on doing all the things we do that make america and us Americans. Now is not a time of 
age ,race, color ,gender or religious beliefs. Now is a time to stand up and show  to the world 
that I am an american and you cannot break my spirit. To those that died on September 11, 
I may not have known you, but I will never forget or forgive  what happened to you. I will 
tell my child what unjust, cowardly act happened to all of you, your families. You lost your 
life and they had their lives torn apart in an instant. May all of you and your families find 
peace. To those that did this or had a part or have done some form of terrorism to innocent 
people, my wish is that you get what you deserve. This flag flies for those who died, those 
who lost a loved one and for what America stands for-- FREEDOM            Richard Hardiman

Father's Love

Casey i knew it from the start,  I would love you with all my heart.  I would walk mile after 
mile just to see my little girl smile.  I know this is a wonderful gift from above, because a 
father and daughter share a special kind of love.  No matter how big you get or what you do, 
You will always be my little girl, i will always love you.  To hear you laugh and have fun while 
you play, This makes for a wonderful day.  You have such a big heart and so much love to 
give, I know God has a special life for you to live.  When things go wrong on the path you 
take, Always remember to keep the faith.  If you do your best and it does not work out don't 
be sad and start to cry, The only way to fail is not to try.  I mean these words i say to you,i 
love you now as i always do.  This is a wonderful gift God has given to us, All i can say is 
thank you Jesus.      Richard Hardiman

Why

While i sit and look at the way things are going in my life, I wonder why there's so much 
headache and strife.  Nothing seems to work out no matter how hard i try, Sometimes it 
makes me want to ccurl up and die.  But that is not an option when i think of my girl, the only 
thing to do is shake it off and give it another whirl.  I am supposed to show her the way, But 
it seems i let her down a little more each day.  my wife and daughter they hold my heart,So 
with a new day i have to give it another start. If this was not full of problems, worry then this 
would be someone elses story.  When things go wrong i don't know what to say,I can just 
shake my head and pray.  Maybe someday things will go my way, one things for sure it is 
not today.  I work so hard, for so long, this is beginning to sound like a sad country song.  I 
work to the point where so much hurts from my back legs, tendons,joints, It makes me 
wonder what is the point.  I have so many hopes and dreams for my family to do, As I'm 
sure that you all have too.  Is there a light at the end of the tunnel well i hope it is true, but 
for now it is just another train coming through.  So i have to get off the tracks once more, 
like i have done so many times before.  It sounds like i am crying or singing the blues 
unfortunately this all is true, I hope and pray that things are going better for 
you.                                                                                richard hardiman

My Love

I am writing of a person that means so much,  she can fill my heart with just one touch.  
This person completes my life,  Of course this person i  write of is my wife.  She brings to my 
world so much love, I know she is a blessing from above.  To say she is the love of my life is 
insufficient, because the difference is quite magnificient.  To say how much i love her no 
words can say, because i love her more each day.  We were blessed enough to be husband 
and wife, but God had one more change for our life.  He made us a mother and a father, 
together we made one beautiful daughter.  Cheryl i am blessed to be your husband this 
much is true,Cheryl i really really do love you. If we love each other God lives in us-1 john

Test Or Punishment

I am trying to hold on to my faith as hard as i can, maybe this is not a test maybe I am just 
not a good christian.  Maybe this is not a test i am going through, Maybe this is just the 
punishment that I am due.  The lord says the branch that does not produce fruit will be cut 
away, Just maybe by my actions i have out lived my stay.  I tried to be head of house and 
be an example to my family, me, But it turns out i am just an example of what not to be.  to 
my family i don't know where to go or what to do, I am sorry as hard as i try i keep failing 
you.  To my daughter i hope you find a better man than me, someone who can be a real 
head of the family.  To my wife i love you with all of my heart and soul, i look back and i'm 
not sure when things started to get out of control.  To my mom i'm sorry i turned out the way 
i did, You taught me better when i was a kid.  To all of my family i love you this much is true, 
I am very sorry for what i put you through.  This must be the punishment for the path i have 
taken, I guess this is what it feels like to be forsaken.               Richard Hardiman
