A Storm

The  storm is going to cover

My dreams .

They say , you are never more alive

When you are scared .

You can not out run a storm

Even on a dare .

The humidity and the heat then the wind ,

When you run and the sky is so dark

You can hardly see

But you need to keep going .

There will be no wailing or grinding of the teeth.

When you run in a storm that is coming

You are never alone .

Angels are always near by ,

So run home as fast as you can my boy .

Push Past The Pain

Push past the pain

Fail or prevail ?

Success is a ladder

That can not be climbed

With your hands in your pocket  .

Stand Strong !

If you can believe it ,

You can achieve it .

So always push past the pain

And work for the best yet to come

And you can do it .

Just push past the pain and go forward

Not backward .

Oh That Kiss

To kiss a pheasant in flight

To kiss a fish

To kiss my wife

To kiss my child

But to kiss my grandchild

Oh that kiss

The Good Doctor

The good doctor needs to go

To school almost every day

Until he dies .

A good doctor should always

Carry a simple small book .

The book will say

A good laugh and a long sleep

Some listening , hope , calmness

And fun in the sun,

Some exercise  and overall feelings

And happiness  .

Just the simple things in life .

These things will help us all feel better .

The book talks about those things

Not about pills or drugs or pain.

When the doctor reads this simple book .

He is truly the good doctor .

It’s Time

Time is so old

Yet so brief .

Time can be sweet .

Time can be bitter .

If you sleep

Or work  or play

We need time .

Time can fly .

Sometimes we need to wait on time

Then ask why .

When we hurt

Time is of the essence .

When we go fishing

Hunting or running

Or just for a walk

Or just being with family and friends

You sure can be optimistic with the time

You have shared .

Time is always spent .

When is the right time .

I do not know

But it is always the right time

To pray .

Little Smiley

 

You are so real

And yet not here yet .

You have faith already

For faith is the realization

Of what is hoped  for

And evidence of things not seen .

Waiting is a sacred  time

For even in the waiting  ,

You are connected by love of your family

Even this early .

I love you little smiley .

My Uncle Jimmy

 

They tell me I looked like you .

They say waiting is a normal part of family life ,

But you and I never liked to wait .

I remember the time I talked about a tree

To uncle Jimmy and before I knew it

He had climbed the tree and trimmed it at age 62 .

Only uncle Jimmy could tell a story

About toilet paper and the size of the paper

And how it fit on his finger !

He said he knew God and he knew more

Than most people  .

He had trouble listening to people .

I believe , I know more than people

Will give me credit for and I know God to .

I have trouble listening to people today .

I am like uncle Jimmy .

The time spent with him made a weekend

Or a week of hunting for pheasants

Or just a summer night feel like

A vacation to him and me .

I even talked to uncle Jimmy

When I ran this morning

And only he and I and God knew why .

Simply Listen

In the morning go out side

And just sit out side

And listen to the morning .

In the afternoon go out side

And sit in the big rocking chair

And relax and just listen

to the afternoon .

In the evening sit out side

And look up into the sky

And think of all the people

Who are looking after you .

Just listen and you can hear them

As plain as day ,

So just simply listen

As often as you can .

Every thing will be ok smiley !

Too Fish

Whenever we go fishing ,

It feels like its for the first time

Every time we go fishing .

Whenever we go fishing ,

A smile comes on in a flash

But the memories last a life time .

When fishing we always have confidence

In our abilities .

When we get a fish in the boat

We each get a wrinkle in our brains

Because we learned to get that fish

In the boat .

We can not get the next giant fish

In the boat without a friend .

Oh go fish .

The Epistle Of A Child

 

I wrote to you little one

Because your sins have been forgiven

On account of his name .

The Lord will cover you

With his feathers

And under his wings

You will find refuge .

You come into this world

As a light of joy .

A child gives his grandparents strength .

A child is an angel of friendship

Faith , hope and love for all of us .

Always be patient with a child .

Surely the arms of the Lord is not

To short nor his ears to dull

To hear a child .

A child is a priceless gift .

Never harden your heart around a child .

A child is always a treasure

So always treasure them .

Always smile around a child

Right smiley !!!!!!!

The Difference Between You And I

The difference between you and I

The definition of all that was just said

Is just that it is .

I need to do twice as much

To get 1/2 as much as you .

I need to except each challenge  .

I do not need to hear lip service

Because I am my own coach  !

I will always have to climb  the next hill

That is why at some point I run

Up hill but not every day thank God .

If everything was just about justice  ,

Everything would always be fine

But some things are based

On the timing of things .

I will pray for you and me

That is the way I think it is to be .

It is what it is .

It’s Hot

It is so hot

That the ice is just water .

It is so hot

That ant’s  crawl

On the hot cement

in the cracks

And they still get so hot .

They hardly move at all !

It is so hot

In the river

Even the fish

Jump out of the water

And dive right back in !

It is so hot

That the stuff

I put on my body

so I don’t get sun burned

Is steaming off my arms

Face and legs ,

But I need to put it on

When I am out side,

Because it is so hot !
