As I get older
I would rather be
         Independent.
Than in
         Depends
It all Depends
         After all
So far
         Sooooooo good.
This is supposed to be humorous.
To some.  It all Depends.

I am a man
My full name is A Humble Man of Allah
I am in want of permanent home address
I was innocent
I want to remain innocent
O’ Almighty Allah!
Be with me
If You can……..

Wrote a piece called
      "No One"

A lot of hateful people here

Just Liked No One.
I am sorry.


(Smile here)
Everyone needs to like
Someone

No one can live your life

No one can relieve your strife

No one can change your heart

No one can do your part

No one can decide for you

    What you must do

But you

   A great responsibility
   Filled with great rewards.

   Never Give Up.
Watched a Johnny Cash at Folsum Prison presentation 10 minutes ago.

The space between the lines are left for you to fill in.

We live under the sun,
Its brightness warming us,
Leading us to every other minute,
One moment at a time;
It casts our shadow on the wall.
But in every moment we live,
We forget.
The shadows, they lengthen till dusk,
And vanish in the dark.
And we don't miss our shadow,
We don't remember.
That gentle touch that didn't leave a mark,
But marks our existence in the light...


Just as we don't always remember,
The gentle love shared with us
In a stranger's smile.
A smile, which with a helpful hand,
Lifts us up and tells us we were seen.
*A gentle touch that doesn't leave a mark,
But acknowledges our existence in this busy, busy world...

The day arrived
Little Lucy all decked out.
Bunch of big guys
And little girls
On the floor
Of the valentines dance.
People galore.
Four four music
In
Ten ten little girl style.
Two hours is
Not
Long
Or is it?
The fun began
Sometimes I picked her up
Twirling us around.
Not very fast of course
Or we would go down.
She had fun
And so did I
Next year we will
Give it another try.

Sure glad I had
Taken two pain pills.
Granddaughter and
Papa dance
What a memory.
