Uncle Frank, Orla the monk, Margarette our neighbor, Noor the baby, the little hearts, Jack and his first Christmas, old relations, the friends, the kindness that we show, the way to see it, its about how we appreciate the gift, not what we own. amen.
The new year feels better, there are options, you plan with joy not fear, the peace has come, you are going to college, the elders understand, their fear of the younger ones is solved, they see the signs in the sky, not made up. Jesus is on their mind, the second coming, a new way to explain it, and when you simply read it, you realize, its up to yourself!…
Going on your holidays, new places, your not in charge, your the visitor. How we try to frame things to our personal likes; well we don’t all eat turkey dudes!, try some haggis instead, yuk, quite tasty.
Doctor Benny, what is this, therapy dear, we can do a movie together, why not. I wasn’t expecting this she says, benny pauses, when they entered that wine bar all those years ago, they never expected to get what they got, Father O’Che, if they knew it was about Holy Spirit, they would have had me in an asylum, now they are praying each day, I wonder what they think now, guess what they are imagining now!…what does the boss know about us all!!.. Pass the popcorn dear, its got that flavor, butter scotch.
As reliable as a Swiss watch!…
No violence, just thrill, no anxiety, purely human, enticing not encouraging, aware not fearful of, mind relaxing, reminders, we are made to love, while responsibility teaches us, when its the time. Tiopagteacht, are they still relaying the post, avatars are advancing on you, well done guys!…
Reaching out, stop the old worry, the young generation are seriously well educated, and they don’t intend to revisit the days of violence and fears, where is Siberia!….
Despite the Odds
(present to Doctor Benny on his birthday)
despite the odds,
i get the jobs
i do the goods
i rock the gods
i make the mark i have to make
i take the “takes” i have to take.
i pull in fast i pull in hard
and try to hold the winning card
i fall tall
i fall firm
i fall strong
i fall fast
despite the odds
i’ll make the mark
i’ll make the grade
because after all
this is my life at stake.
despite the odds!
Shantalla poet makes the mark!….
