POETRY-PHILOSOPHY-WISDOM


As we all know, words are power and they often evoke human emotions in one form or another. Happiness, sadness, anger, love, hate, and even comfort.

I decided that I would dedicate a web page to words, and use them in all their varied styles and text; such as in poetry,creed, and even philosophy.

I'm starting this page with two poems that my departed mother had written on two separate occasions, when emotions were running at a high, and she must of felt the need to put her feelings down on paper; probably to deal with her anger and sadness.

From this point on I will add all sorts of different prose, to hopefully, offer you words of comfort and strength.

Because I do realize that "words" are powerful, I find that in particular writings, they can also help sooth the soul and offer courage.

In those times when we lose sight of purpose and feel that the world has let us down, take a moment to relax and allow these words to give you the wisdom and hope to carry on!!!

"SO LONG SON"

So long son, the time has come

for you to go to Viet Nam.

We're told our country is not at war,

but still your ship is leaving shore.

---

One more marine to do his best

to rid us of the communist.

When things are settled and

there is no threat,

I pray for the return of

my leatherneck.

---

The pride you've given me

through the years,

is helping mother hold

back her tears.

The fears I have, I'll try to hide

and pray

that God is by your side.

---

Remember that I miss you dear,

and maybe it won't be a year,

before I see that handsome smile,

that I have loved

for a long, long, while.

"GOOD-BYE TO AUDRA"

As we say goodbye to Audra, a child we'll never know; in our hearts and with our faith, We pray for her tiny soul.

The fairy tales we'll never read, the lullabies we'll never sing, but until we meet again; we think of the joy that she'll bring.

The heavens' are her playground, the angels are her teachers; under GODS'watchful eyes, he will bless and keep her.
