Hiatus

Hello. all! I took a brief hiatus and am glad to be back with you. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving Day if that is done in your country. It is always a time of eating, family get-togethers, sharing, and reminiscing. However, I have been busy during my hiatus and below are a couple of poems as a result of my efforts.

 When I Think about Life

When I think about life

And the places that I've seen

When I think about life

And the situations that I've been in

When I think about life

And the enemies that have been so mean

When I think about life

I think...

Thankful 

For Jesus

Who blesses and

Controls the fate of men.

Special Friendship

Listen, my friend

Let the occurrences of yesterday 

Be just that and try to mend

That broken friendship you once cherished

For tomorrow may come and you find

The last strand of the special friendship's delicate

Bond has, at long last, perished

Because the cord of life has been severed

And you, my friend, have been left with only

An empty hate, to keep, that you long endeavored.

Still Doing What I Can, While I Can
