Life, a breathing
Living, moving
Time to wander
Through paths
Open doors
Choices of
Right or wrong
Loving, hurting
Laughing, crying
People passing by
Some stay and
Others leave
A time for
Pondering
Asking questions
By the time we
Get to the last
Chapter, we may
Still not have
It all figured out
But we enjoyed
Grew and prospered
On our way.

RULE MY WORLD
Everyone wants something
Your head spinning
This way and that
Neck hurting
Stress rising
Not being able
To say no
Nail biting
Insides screaming
Time to stop
This is my life
I need to rule
My own world
But easier
Said than done
Old habits
Slip back
Into place
Afraid to hurt
Afraid to hear
Afraid of words
Afraid of tears
This is my world
I deserve a slice
To be who I am
So where do
I begin and how

Dear brother, I couldn’t help but think of you today. I kept remembering back to last year at this time.
Dear brother,
I couldn’t help but think of you today. I kept remembering back to last year at this time. You were still able to ride your scooter. We had my son and his family here for a cook out and you chattered non-stop.
It got on my nerves and now I feel guilt over that, as I would give my right arm to hear you chatter again.
You watched the little ones doing their sparklers. I was able to take you to the lake and we watched the fireworks while we sat on the bleachers.
Why didn’t I memorize your smiles that night? Maybe I did. Maybe that is why my heart hurts for you tonight.
Have I told you how much I miss you today? If I somehow forgot, I miss you very much.
Do they have beautiful celebrations in heaven? Oh I bet they are more colorful than anything I can imagine.
The same family was here this year bud. We got started a little late but it was alright. The food on the grill tasted good as usual. I know you wouldn’t have eaten the same foods but you know I would have had whatever you wanted and could eat here for you.
The evening was spoiled but I swear I did everything in my power to make it a fun night. I ended up not seeing the fireworks. I didn’t get to see you either.
Now instead of sitting and helping get you cleaned up and ready for bed, I am sitting on my bed alone and crying for you.
I have not felt good for a few months Al. My feet are so sensitive and dry from my nerve damage. I find myself losing my grip. My fingers don’t remain still. My friend says my head tremors. I have noticed myself doing
this too.
My bones hurt and I am sore in so many places. Every day life is beginning to become a struggle. I wish you were here so I could have you to talk to bud.
Some day I am going to see you again then the lonely feelings will disappear. I wish I could change things, but there are some things I just can’t change. You already know this though don’t you? If I could have, I would have kicked MSA to the curb and you and I would have spent July 4th together. I love you brother
Who I am
