...and Ty

...and Ty

I am thankful…

For sorrows that pass me by

For the cleansing of a simple sigh

For Donya’s Pumpkin Pie (more almonds, please)

And Ty

I am thankful…

For the memory of friendships past

For Autumn (but it goes too fast)

For my half-empty, half-full glass

And Ty

I am thankful…

For tears I never cried

For okra when it’s fried

For the people who are on my side

And Ty

I am thankful…

For 1940 – ’91

For the man who called me son

Though he left with work undone

And Ty

I am thankful…

For troubles I never see

For daughters better than me

For freedom that isn’t free

And Ty

I am thankful…

For Tommy and Mary Lou

For Felicia and Jimbo, too

(Tell them and I will sue)

And Ty

I am thankful…

For breakfast, especially Mom’s

For the occasional trip to Tom’s

For my sisters and…okay, Don

And Ty

I am thankful…

For the woman I take for granted

For kisses yet unplanted

For a love that’s been enchanted

And Ty

I am thankful…

For Christ and Calvary

For sinners He loves, like me

For the promise of eternity

And Ty

I am thankful…

For a thousand other things

For the hope that a new day brings

For a phone that sometimes rings

And Ty

I am thankful…

How To Spend a Life

October 2, 2009 · Posted in Blog, Family, Friendship, Life Experience, Love, Poetry · 7 Comments 

us...thenIf love is what I get from You

Then you can bet I’ll give it too

‘Cause all I really want to do

Is spend my lifetime loving you.

When friends all leave or fade away

And the sun still shines on another day

Just know that I am here to stay

And spend a lifetime loving you.

As youth succumbs to the march of time

And the road you walk becomes a grind

Take heart, my love, you know that I’m

Gonna spend my lifetime loving you.

When death comes to call for me

And time gives way to eternity

I know my final words will be,

“I spent my lifetime loving you.”

For Donya, Love of my Life on her __th Birthday

What

Penny For Your Thoughts?

Penny For Your Thoughts?

Did you think

I would think

At this moment?


That’s

What I thought

You thought

I thought.


I think.

The Big Picture Man

The Devil’s in the Details

At least that’s what they say

I don’t mind

I’m the kind

Who never cared for details anyway
