A wonderful tribute to a woman you dearly loved. So sorry to hear that her children did not appreciate that she brought them into the world and raised them that she could.

Tenderness (Poetry) - 6/26/2012 9:20:44 PM
" I try to bank that fire;it only burns more brightly." That is one of the REALEST things I have read in a poem. God knows I've been there, and I miss it so....

Now you are gone."

Dad, Why did you leave me? (Poetry) - 7/28/2011 1:07:34 PM
Chip and John;
I wrote this poem to understand my reaction to the world.. It has helped.
What have you done to me (Poetry) - 7/27/2011 3:39:15 PM
Sounds like somewhere I've been before. My problem was that everything I thought was coming to me from ouitside of myself was a matter of my perceptions and my reaction.

Dad, Why did you leave me? (Poetry) - 7/25/2011 3:07:12 PM
A soul in pain, Monsignor, an honest soul.

Scott...
Your description of the loss of your father makes my heart ache. There's so much you want to ask them, so much you want to say, so much you want them to tell you, but the opportunity is lost forever.
Sometimes life can feel so hard...

What have you done to me (Poetry) - 7/5/2011 11:30:28 PM
Monsignor,
this tugs me this way and that
and i expect it's how you are feeling;
that final "I have found love"
is redemption.

Sometimes the river only looks dry, Scott.
Sometimes the heat and wind have just driven it underground
And still it flows.

The Flow of Life (Poetry) - 6/3/2011 5:40:06 PM
Well chosen metaphor, Monsignor,
ebbs, flows, rushes, dry spells...
all that a life is spiritually,
physically, aesthetically, artistically.

You're right Scott....what God wants from us mostm is not the4 miraculous, but the everyday.
Chip Bergeron
Bliss (Poetry) - 5/25/2011 2:29:30 PM
This is fine indeed, Monsignor,
a celebration of self acceptance
after struggle.

Bliss (Poetry) - 5/25/2011 1:20:35 PM
Birth, rebirth and sometimes a greater rebirth -- isn't that the essence of life. We are then sometimes blessed during our lives by great loves sent to us by the creator, the essence of love, God.
I wish you well on your continuing rebirth. May you find much love and much enlightenment. Your poem is lovely!
Blending (Poetry) - 1/20/2011 7:47:47 PM

Your final line, Monsignor, says what has to be said and what has to be done. If there is no way back, then may the passing be gentle and kind.
John
Another Old Soldier (Poetry) - 11/9/2010 3:06:21 PM
Heartbreaking truth in these lines, Monsignor. Well done, Sir.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
Blackness (Poetry) - 11/8/2010 6:22:08 AM
Fall often brings hopelessness to the surface. But love is here! Love is there! We may just have to look a bit more intently for it, but it is all around. Reach out and get some! Very heartfelt poetry Scott!
Peace,
Dayvid

You beat yourself up again, Monsignor, and while I'm a strong advocate of emotional honesty I feel you need to see your worth more, and you DO have worth, and appreciate and treasure it.
With respect,
John
Blackness (Poetry) - 11/7/2010 12:43:24 PM
Scott...
Sounds like something I just went through. I could tell you "This too shall pass" but from your vantage point that's hard to see. Hang in there and be strong...
Chip Bergeron

The power of love and friendship, Monsignor, especially when we are challenged and afraid.
John
The Struggle (Poetry) - 10/9/2010 3:44:05 PM
Yeah...the struggle of holding too tightly or allowing the freedom to go. It is an ongoing struggle in love. May enlightenment enfold you.
Peace,
Dayvid
The Struggle (Poetry) - 10/9/2010 3:39:01 PM
Yes, Monsignor, you can do it...just don't fight it or question it all the time, and if you look for answers at every turn maybe you're asking too much. Go with it!
John

I like where this takes me and I hear you loud and clear, Monsignor, but I do put on the bravest face I can and ride the ups and downs - for me, there's no other way.
John
The Roller Coaster (Poetry) - 9/26/2010 12:03:24 PM
look at it this way...if our lives didn't have roller coasters, we would not be able to survive all of lifes ups and downs...

I was wide awake at 1:30 this morning...it took me an hour of doing nothing to fall asleep...nighttime is a mysterious plance. Nice write.

What you did to me. (Poetry) - 9/23/2010 4:23:02 PM
Acceptance lifts us and settle us all at once, Monsignor, and here you are finding your truth, your self.
Welcome to AD.

What you did to me. (Poetry) - 9/23/2010 6:55:02 AM
Sometimes, without realizing it, we humans have this enormous learning curve, and the older we get...those life lessons become more clear.
Cheers,
Dan
What you did to me. (Poetry) - 9/22/2010 4:31:55 PM
Emotional rescue! Loved ones come into our life for a reason. They also exit for a reason. When that inner beauty can be rekindled to make us whole again, poetry like this is written...beautiful, honest and what you know to be true, Monsignor...Welcome!
Warmly,
Sage
