Each of the Temptations Fell into temptation and None lived happily ever after. Life is more than songs and fun Jokes and money and laughter, Running and reeling, Looking for feeling, Not knowing what to do, No grip on what’s true. At the end of the day There is only one way; Do what is […]

You gave up your choice To have a baby When you decided to copulate. Yeah, it’s too late to state Your reasons for rejecting The fruit of your decision. You’re stuck with the derision And the family division Over the baby you didn’t want. Might just haunt You for some time to come. Yes, there […]

When we build our lives Around our frail selves They soon become a blight. In our memories past The pleasures and pursuits outlasted By the closing of creditorsUpon us with a fury Paying us back for the hurry We made of our time. What do we owe others Brothers, mothers, and God Himself When all […]

“Well, what did you do today?” she asks. Well, its always a thing or two, I say: I think, I write, I meditate, I don’t hesitate or wait. He’s there on the spot to hear And I go right there without fear Of His might and holy power To devour right on the spot. And […]

God hates divorce And so do we! If you want to please Him Or us, do what you can To avoid what He hates, The pain surely unforeseen. Imagine things you can’t imagine, Roads you haven’t traveled With no signs for direction, The tension of life on a road Unmarked by instruction, To be hustling […]

Finally, as if a matter of course Came to our family a divorce, Elli and Brandon divided. This they just decided And told us this very day, The fourteenth of November. Not a date to remember With any fondness or joy, We are made very sad. The joy they might have had Including the One […]

The fall of a marriage Makes one sad indeed. Two lives, one, undone Hearts suffer; they bleed. There is no cure for a break In that bond forever made Between the two who make The pledge to ever love one another. ‘Tis no small vow but easily made And consequences go unweighed When love is […]
