Love,

For You, Poppa....

Beloved Wife

You were the love
for certain of my life
you were simply my beloved wife
I don't know for certain
how I'll live my life
now alone without my beloved wife
my beloved wife

I can't believe
I've lost the very best of me

you were the love
for certain of my life
you were simply my beloved wife
I don't know for certain
how I'll live my life
now alone without my beloved wife
my beloved wife

I can't believe
I've lost the very best of me

you were the love
for certain of my life
for 50 years simply my beloved wife
with another love I'll never lye again
it's you I can't deny
it's you I can't defy
a depth so deep
into my grief
without my beloved soul
I renounce my life
as my right
now alone without my beloved wife
my beloved wife

my beloved wife
my love is gone she suffered long
in hours of pain
my love is gone
now my suffering begins
my love is gone
would it be wrong if I should
surrender all the joy in my life
go with her tonight?

my love is gone she suffered long
in hours of pain
my love is gone
would it be wrong if I should
just turn my face away from the light
go with her tonight?

Yesterday's Coffee...

Yesterday's Coffee
Is Cold
Even warmed up

Yesterday's Coffee
is certainly Bitter
Bitter isn't necessarily Strong
It's just Bitter...

It does the trick
It's medicinal
It'll do in a Pinch

But it Certainly doesn't matter what Mug it is in
It could be Yesterday's
Yesterday's Coffee
in Yesterday's Mug...

It's time to Clean House
Get back to a Routine
So I can Rise Early,
Rested
With Time Enough (at Last)
to Slowly
Make the Perfect Brew...
Strong,
And Sweet....

It Felt Good to Work Today !

Lord,
I am Thankful Today for:

The opportunity to help those in need.

The opportunity to continue to express the Self you have made me to be.

"Sweet Home Alabama"

The Love that is shown to me by Your Grace alone.

Forgiveness.

Family members who continue to Reach Out to me
(even in my stubbornness to be Silent)

Life-Long Friends who Love (mostly) Unconditionally (Dr. Jones)

Non-Judgemental Aquaintences

My Life.....

Out of Water....Sorjourning...Mapping out a Life

Veil of Truth (Revealed)

Behind This Veil;
I See..
Only what I Want and Need to See

This Veil Of Truth
Only Hides
That Which is Essential
From Me

How To Lift It,
This Veil, From my Eyes
Will Take on The delicacy
Of a Thousand Wings,
Wings Of Fireflies

The Protection from Which
I Crave
I Can See more than Enough
To Light my Way,
And Find My Truth

But do I Fan these Wings Away,
Fan away with My Hand
The Only Light
Away from Hope,
The only Hope I Have, Truth.
I Have Truth.
Truth.

God determines who walks into your life....it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.
