I Remember…
(a
song reflecting Life loved)
I
remember…(whispered)
…Highlight
events along adventure’s wondrous trace
Praise!
Honor! Glory! Father! Spirit! Jesus’ sacred face!
His will for me to
be right there present in Love’s place
Lucky!
I! Experience life’s best within His holy Grace!
Early
on the comfort warm of a Christian Mom and Dad
Shelter,
good food, clean clothes, an education-offer glad
Clips
in-between like Grandma’s house aroma-smells
Christmas pine tree or summer flower-fragrant
bluebells
Our
quaint little town Main Street plus maybe one or two
Playmate
friends aplenty create many of fun-times I knew
Reverence
taught and sacred learned Sabbath and daily mass
One
nun to teach each over-crowded room of a double-class
I
remember…(whispered)

Favorites:
The farm with animals and a fabulous old barn
So
dark can’t see a hand before the face afore the early morn
A
secret get-a-way Fox Lake with screened-porch clubhouse sublime
Three
lakes to boat and fish, a young boy’s curious delicious time
And,
bar-b-q so good I learned to appreciate “Gourmet!”
Constant
party-time events led to adventure family-play
Learned,
too, the value of doing any job the first time right
Hard-work
and play virtue-reward like wild ducks “V”-flight
Honored-Love
offered to the Lord commanded by His first three
Tolerance-respect
to any fellow man His final seven please see

Time
slips on by so slowly it flies away quite fast
A
curious world of cowboy-horses suddenly has past
“Spring”
in the air one day, my fancy turns to Love
My
world has changed; I sight a beautiful white dove
“Don’t
hurt yourself, Big Boy!” She cooed across the way
Auburn-haired
beauty talked to me; I fell in love that day
Soon
held her hand delicate, kissed tender lips soft-true
Young-love!
Sweet love! A soulmate found, I surely knew

Marriage
came begetting the babe and I was very glad
Next
to perfect angelic wife, the best thing I ever had
Soon
followed by a clone, now Catherine and Rachel-girl
Begin
again the never-ending story, give it one fine whirl
Better
still! Our Adonis-handsome Z. Tyler-boy
Miss
Lauren, Lexi, Anna Marie complete our joy
What
next? Who knows! Thy perfect will be
done…
If
I might wake I’ll true enjoy it all under His Son

Dreams
dared by a little boy so innocent---Perhaps?
Life
filled with baseball, bats and gloves and caps
Cowboy
shows with mountain-mustangs running wild
Horizon-west
beckon-called this curious boy-child
And,
viewed Rocky Mountain summit cerulean high
Trekked
on out Oregon-way to sight Pacific-blue sky
Tasted
sweet Idaho-panhandle via Coeur d’alene
Short-visit
Tennessee back home to prairie plain
Loved-tender
to a Colorado blue spruce undulating rhythm-sway
On
a lake rock-outcropping Black-Canyon-of-the-Gunnison way
Countless
hours astride some mighty fine horses
Found
chanced-success navigating life’s courses
Challenged
golf for forty years, forsook it one fine fall
Tired
of chasing clubs thrown farther than I hit the ball
You
were beautiful! Me? A red convertible shaded “Cool!”
You
still are a beauty! I’ve simply grown into an older Fool
I
remember…(whispered)
