Inspired

            Friends come and they go, almost as easy as the wind blows but then there are those who are as steady as a rock and you just have to love them for that.       I have a world of people who call me their friend and I guess it is because I took an oath that I would shake a man’s hand and my words would be my bond.      That is not something that we can find much anymore, (sad)  but oh so true; I would like to be everyone’s friend but I can’t and well sometimes I don’t wont to be, because I serve Christ I kind of signed up for a job that has me doing things that I not necessarily had in mind to do.    But I understand and well my training is not yet complete.        I told you all that to tell you this, I met someone who I think as a friend and one who has gotten so deep into my skin that, well it is hard to get her out and I find that it is comfortable to know that she is there as my friend.

            I have never met her but I find myself being Inspired by her,  she tells me about her adventures not such great one that Earnest Hemingway told tales about; but never the less it is ones that makes me move and has eased the chronic pain I go through sometimes.   She is a busy woman and works hard, she has set her sights on a goal that some times I feel it is mine and I want to do it with her.     This friend is a single mother and she shines like the sun when she smiles,  yes she is my friend and we have never met and I still don’t know if that may happen; but I do know that if we do it would be I think the best meeting of a friend who has done all that could be done to anyone and that is to inspire.      I write now with new life, I see myself doing things that give me pain afterwards but the joy of doing it beats the pain.      I have gone back in my Gym and looked at the person I once wanted to be and I can see a vision of the man. 

            She does not even know why I think of her this way but I think sometimes God places people in your path to build you up not to take you apart and that is just what they do.     So if I may say thank you friend for the spark that started this flame going and I pray to God to help me not put it out,  I know where I am going and the world is my purpose; so all I have to do is be me and you be you.    Thank you Terri, the friend who I have never met!

Bits and pieces ( moments)

        There are times when we get that rear opportunity to seize a moment, that consist of the total of all moments spent between you and another; or you and a group of people (we can sometimes say that I just saw my life flash before me)  but there are times when you are there to see the passing of a person ( dieing friend, family member, or even someone you don't even know )  when they reach a pinnacle of complete joy and they smile at you showing that peace that passes all understanding, you find yourself walking away filled with satisfaction knowing inside that one day you could experience that joy too;  but the requirements are to follow in their footsteps.   I set this poem at that cross road and hope you can leap off from it and find some of the joy I did.

Moments

Yes! there are moments that come and make me look forward to the next,

They come so quickly and then they pass so fast.

I sometimes wish I could show you some of my beautiful moments I have had;

And the ones that would make just laugh and laugh and laugh.

In my life I had moments of holding hands, moments of planting tiny trees,

And placing sticks in the ground to hold the rose trees so they could stand.

I have had moment where disasters struck and I helped to see the injured through;

And I have had moments of just loving between me and you.

There were moments when the news came through and we were at war; and I had wished to go and do my fight;

Not to murder but defend, to bring peace , to bring right not just take another’s life.

And of course the moments when you hold your breathe, as we all did wondering if our son, husband, or daughter, or even friend had died in the end.

But most of all I wish you could see the moments when I have told you from the very bottom of my soul, I love you in spirit and in truth and your eyes told the truth of disbelief.

Those are the I think Moments I think about,

I do and so dearly remember that one moment when I held you in my arms;

Your smile was just so Charmin, it gave life to me and all who was there as you died.

That was the very moment you held me tight and whispered in my ear,

After you left us I became strong, brave, and I went on and never shed a tear.
It was at that moment I had no doubt the moments we spent together the Good and the bad was moments of pour love.

The last Kiss

The last Kiss

Our eyes met my dearest wife and me; . . . .  She held the tears back but we knew the tragedy;

It was hard to deal with, especially when for year you have tried to have all that is a family.

I kneel each day and I cried to God . . . .  Why me? Why we?

You promised!  . . . . To make me whole, an heir would give me immortality;

In shame I cry.

Then with her warm and tenderness I felt her arms wrap around me;

This woman whom the lord is my Armor Bearer; she keeps me in perfect stride.

We had three times lost little beauties; I thought she was tested enough, 

They died and have slipped right by us and so we cried.

I see no devil; I heard of no conspiracy,  I know of no generational curse, I speak of not of darkness, but the light that shines within us!

How much more can this man take with his woman by his side?

There are days I have thought not to awake,

But when the sun comes up the night’s weeping somehow goes away.

Each day you fill me with comfort, exactly what I need to greet the day;

And like always we kneel before you; my wife and me, each day we pray;

My love for children grows stronger every day . . . . . I think; and even though my lips may not move,   my heart takes time out to repent and pray.

So if I may just have one more chance as Abraham did . . . just a child to care for would keep me strong,  

Father God, please! my wife and I to raise a kid.

With all my heart and soul I live my life just do your will ….

Then at night I will give her one last kiss.

And a kiss to bring tomorrow total bliss.

This is just the last kiss of a father’s pain.
