The Day After

The day after

            So now it is the day after and the gifts are all given and the dinners are paid for the wine has been poured and the glasses are half empty.      Now what? As I sit here I can just imagine millions of voices, voices rolling around in my head saying, why did not think that this day would mean anything to me it is Valentines Day and that is the way you say I love you?           It happens all the time working hard your aim and focus is for the whole not just a day; and why can’t I get a break?  We are two different sexes Male and Female coming from two different worlds but we cannot exist without each other even though some of us have gone to an alternative drum beat the both sexes need each other.       So are we going to redo next year the same way or are we going to learn that if there is going to be Valentines Day then let us stop giving each other a bloody nose.   If I am correct the time calls for love and a sense la, la, la, la or something like that and people skipping, I guess this year the economy was so bad that they forgot to pump us all up for this affair.      

Back to love and what it should be like in these relationships,  why one reader told me she said “ that I don’t want to be special only once a year so dam this Valentine Day hypocrites and they should all go to hell”  and when I heard that my poor heart broke because, I do believe in love and happiness and it is a real thing but sometimes it is hard to say it and then walk in it with all the obstacles that is called life;  but life also has something which is called forgiveness and all these things go hand in hand not one without the other.           Get up in the morning and you take the sun and the rain so should you take your Valentines, sometimes forgiving the mistakes of another makes life bearable and you live it more honestly;  it is the efforts that are made within the group or relationship we should be talking about and focusing on not always pointing on the negative of a thing but it’s the beauty  of a thing and the possibilities and the steps made which the two make forward: the steps backward need to be put in the past.   See the bulb of the orchard for the flower it may only bear once then die, life sometimes can only be seen once as a vision but you just don’t stop.

                                               Friend

Be a friend ever so true.

That is the thing, good friends do

Always be a friend on time

While it is that I am waiting; the time is mine.

Think of me always, cause as a friend I am thinking of you

Call me when-ever you hurt

I am ready to carry you to the ends of the earth

Please speak to me when you may need correction;

I will always be true where others will lie and give bad direction.

Tell me about your joy

I will give you more of it to employ.

We are friends and that means a lot to me

You know that’s true from our long history.

Please let me always help you when and if I can

You are like a brother I have already written you into my daily plan.

I will pray each day that God would have me there for you,

And if I have to my life I will sacrifice just for you;

Call me crazy till the end,

What matters to me is I am your friend.
