Just head thoughts put to pen.....


Poem Artwork


I never win anything like money
There’s nothing else I can think of;
Wait just a minute, sonny.
What about that prize on the radio, love?
You got two full meals at Hardee’s®
And shared one with a workee.
 
I still say I haven’t won.
Oh, but you have.
Remember that poet’s thing, son?
Yeah, that’s right, but that’s not salve
For my conscience, Sir—
This mind of mine is in a blur….
 
Okay, I’ll admit it, you’re really right:
I have won several things;
The most important one is my sight.
No, there’s another that makes you sing:
It’s the Lord Almighty in your life;
He takes away all your strife.


So, from now on, son;
Remember to pay respect to The One
Who watches over you
From sun to sun to Son.

He does take away stife, stand by us while we are living life, forgive us as we stay from him and come back again. I do respect him though. Forever and ever he will be. Eternity is waiting for me.
