Sometimes I like to
Sit & Think
When all the world is
Quiet & Asleep.

Most times the voices are
Loud & Mean
But tonight the wind
Whispers & Fans.

Delighting to watch the Leaves
Play & Dance
Causing my soul to
Lift & Fly.

For once I am
Clear & Free
Without my despair to
Hold & Bound.

Allowing me to
Walk & Ponder
Looking back on all I've
Achieved & Conquered

For once I'm full of
Happiness & Glee
For Once I am
ME.

-Navahopi119

There's one true blessing
in this world
which comes from the Lord.
So verily I say to you brethren
It's not your children
but the gift of life.
Without it, you can't take a wife
who will call you honey
neither can you earn any money.

Remember a dead man
is a lifeless man.
He can't spend
neither can he lend
to buy a piece of land
or give a friend a hand.

Without the precious gift of life
A man can't use a butter knife
or go running
in the morning
to enjoy the sun
and have some fun.

Without the precious gift of life
a rich man can't enjoy himself
or go on an exotic vacation
and take a swim in the ocean
with his easter bunny
and have dinner in the evening.

A dead man can't talk
neither can he take a walk
for a couple of miles
or flash his teeth when he smiles.
He can't take a shower
at any given hour.
He can't admire nature's beauty,
walk around his property
with an air of authority.

and when asked to imagine
did we
for it is where the answers lay
pleading
and when asked to dream
could we
beyond the superficial surface
where we tread
and when asked to fight
would we
for the chance to remain
in Eden

forgive us Father
our ignorant bliss
