REVERIE

Four years have passed since I last saw you

I walked away without ever looking back

Now and then you would creep into my thoughts

You have even made a few appearances in my dreams.

Then fate seems it would play its hand again

I stood outside the store waiting for my friend

And there you were walking by, I thought I had recognized a voice, 

Stopping to ask me for a light....

11 years earlier I had sat on a park bench 

Not far from that store where we would meet again,

You asked to bum a smoke, those eyes struck me with such force,

I think you asked me for a light then too....

I have found since that fateful first day

Love never makes sense, and we will never truly understand it

Our human intelligence is only so capable

Our human emotions are even less.

The last dream was brilliant and forgiving to my meek heart 

Helped me understand part of the divine plan;

You were hurt somehow, and I'd found you, 

I took you in to a caregivers house, who asked me why to bother with you

I replied with my full heart and soul, 

"because he is important, whether he himself or anyone knows it, I just know"

Maybe our creator's plan had me to see you through their eyes, not my human ones

That's why you, nor I ever understood how I could have loved you

I did very much love you. Or tried to and tried to show it the best I could

I think the lack of understanding scared you, made you insecure, 

You had closed your heart to any good honest love, and drove me away

So afraid that I would make you feel like a fool for trying.

Two weeks have flown by when I last saw your different yet familiar face

Last night I dreamed of you and will likely day dream over the next few weeks.

I still wish you well as you continue on this better path you have finally chosen

I hope you see now that you are loved and important in your own life, and apparently still in mine.

The Birchett Sisters Sing "Thank You" by Boyz II Men

Remember This..

Its interesting how some people say they "Remember" and "Thank" and "Appreciate" the lives of the countless men and woman who have served and sacrificed in wars for the freedoms we have, for one day out of the year, when they spend the rest of the year bitching about all of their first world problems. REALLY? I wont give examples of the facebook statuses I have seen today alone in which prove this, as I am sure you can pick several in your own news feed. So I'll just say this: These people deserve more than one minute of your silence and more than one day of your rememberance, and certainly more than a lousy government being in charge of their benefits and pensions. What are you doing today to truly honor them? Reflect on that!

I WILL WIN!
