Gotta keep looking UP...


Poem Artwork

 

 

Its just sometimes at night,

Seems it’s the hardest time all right,

No sleepiness forthcoming,

Time to worry, & stay awake & write…

 

So I really do appreciate your prayers,

Though I may not say so, I really care,

Each day does pass, & I do feel despair,

But what the hell, as least I awake with hair…

 

So please with me bear,

I try, as that is all I can do,

But I have my moments,

Someday either I will my life repair,

Or I will win the lottery & become a millionaire…(fat chance)

No, don't go doing that Ed, you've come this far, and though that tendancy to look back is always there, look forward to fairer things, it always is dark before the dawn matey.
Big hugs and Prayers for you

Hi Ed
It's been quite a long time since I've commented on the Den, but I remember you and your writing well. Just saw a comment that you lost your wife 9/11. No passage of Time can measure such loss. May serenity fill increasing moments and make room for Joy to grow alongside the void. Vicky

Dear Ed,
At one of my darkest hours someone said to me, "Troubles are often times God fashioning us for better things." Truer words are seldome spoken. Onward and upward brother poet and don't ever look back.
Hugs,
Marcia

Ed,

Keep looking UP. No matter what, don't you dare give up! Or I'm gonna have to walk to Joisey and whap you with my cane! LOL Seriously: you continue to be in my prayers.

The nighttime is always the worst...but you know what they say. Always darkest before the dawn. Right?

Stick with it ed. Nights are always hardest for me too. Get Rene to come over and cheer you up. You need to quit worrying and just put the job into God's hands and let him take care of your life right now. He will help you and prayers are going to him for you.

Wish I could help or had a few suggestions, Ed, but I'm blank.
If something does occur I'll get in touch. Of coufrse now that
summer is about over, the shore will be a little quiet. Excedpt
for the fall fishing. Can do do charters? Maybe one of the marinas
down there can use a guy with you talent and unblemished character.
I did that for a couple of summers. And I'm a lousy fisherman who
knows nothing about boats. My regards to Rufus. -gene.

With you, Bro, we will continue to bear,
But you had best shave off all that hair,
For that new V.P. candidate from Alaska,
Wants to shoot down hairy critters, everywhere.

Well, where there is life, there is hope, and, that which does not kill us makes us stronger. I know it sounds trite, but giving up is not an option. Be well :-)
