One day!?

 

“One” day?---“What” of me? Or…even, today?

 

Might never have amounted to much by way of “tally-count”.

Never cared for “celebrity” of what other people think of me.

Concluded vacant material-value absent worthy-Virtue! Amen!

If I found Cool the “props” lent ambiance in spectator’s eye.

Made a few smile, even more, laugh, at the simple-silly---me.

“Very-Best four years of my life?---’Tis-true!...3^rd-grade! Amen!

Constructed some near-mansions for family---then, sold them…all!

Installed several swimming pools for the “kids”---Yeah…and, me, too.

Lived “fine” Mother’s seasons cherished each---again…and, yet once more.

Rode some mighty good horseflesh, I reckon that’s so; loved them each.

Hopefully---gave away far much more “Good”…than I accepted of charity.

Fished and hunted and conserved witness-testimony of sacred Jesus!

Metaphoric-kissed the Blarney-stone---and, spread it…way too much.

Loved Mother Nature and embraced her ways and beauty and challenges.

“Global-warmimg!?”---Really!?...I planted 12k trees! And?---You!? Amen!

Thanked me “Lucky-stars” for heaven-life and Love of the Lord.

Learned early to humble-Pray and practiced oft the sacred honor.

Loved! Lived! Laughed! At the “folly” which is---simple-humble…me!

Daily practiced Live! Love! Laugh! No one’s future be ever late! Amen!

Sang life’s song, my way, hit most notes and enjoyed the music-spaces.

Early found God, or, He found me; I Thank Him for Redemption!-Salvation!

Searched Love! Sweet-kissed life! Embraced the midnight-cool dawn-dew.

Came home too many nights to greet the new day sun---only, for…work!? Ugh!

Wondered at some “torment”, never mine, and---tried “Dear God!”…to salve the wound!

Petted some fine dogs, befriended cats, respected all; came to love the equine-foal.

Served mass, took the seminary-entrance test---only…to meet that Protestant-girl.

Blessed with Saints & Angels Perfect-family! Faith! Family! Freedom! Amen!

Played fair but hard, took chances-insane, it now seems; landed on me feet.

I thank God every day for my poor ole “Guardian”-angel man. Thank you!

Simple-humble me!?---Yes! Lord!...Save me from faux celebrity-hubris!

I dare-dream Unicorns child-Fantasy to spirit-soar yon cosmos-Wild! Amen!

If Thee decree a “Fiat-of-Peace” allow I serve as a worthy example! Amen!

 

And---mostly…I Loved!

 

Then?---Some fine pink-blush hint-of-dawn promise of another…

“One” day?---“What” of me? Or…even, today?

 

Could-I? Would-I? Should-I? Do it all again?---The same!...Forever more!

 

Amen!
