Rules are meant to be adapted and broken
Pain leaves scars and you must find a way to heal even though that is insurmountable at times
This is a challenging and heart breaking time when people are killed because of their beliefs and lifestyle
Instead of hiding under a rock or waging a war
Learning  from History and not allowing it to repeat itself would be a start
Neat trick if you can accomplish it
We can forgive but never forget
Reading books would be a start
Keep learning because nobody knows it all
Protecting your heart and nurturing your mind requires yiu to tune in and tune out
Sometimes I wonder what direction we will go in if we just allow the status quo to continue?
My guess is that we will be better than we thought possible
Just remember that nobody is above the law even in the court of public opinion

You are gone from our sight
Never from our hearts
You couldn't walk in this world now but wish you were here
To hear you sing
To hug you
To look at your reassuring hazel eyes again
Daddy, I don't know how 50 years have passed tomorrow but I will be fifteen once again
Your daughters love and miss you

She was almost by the Redwood tree ahead of the storm
She couldn’t fly high enough to catch that rainbow
Her father told her when you see a rainbow I will be smiling down at you
She missed him terribly and he died when she was young
A Ranger noticed her wing was not working well and he puts piece of surgical tape on it until a vet or butterfly specialist at the park could see it
As the rainbow appeared she flew happily over the Ranger’s hat
The Monarch with a tear in her wing happily gazed at the rainbow above

In memory of our father who died when we were young

There is a quiet and stillness beyond compare
It is gentle, safe, and strong filled with joy and caring
Nothing Mickey Mouse about it
The world stands still
Even if it is a few minutes or with any luck hours
This is where I would rather be than dealing with a mixed up and confused world that needs to get its act together
In his arms

Fifty years of missing you are coming up soon.
I am fifteen again and reliving that moment.
No matter what others say they have no clue.
When a parent takes their last breath and is gone forever upon their child.
I hear you calling us fellas and discussing fishing.
Bathroom doors still need to be closed for I flashback to that horrible day on August 23.
This is a wound that is scarred and never heals.
I have learned about members of your family just recently and some knew you but we never knew them til now.
Rest in love and we miss you, Dear Daddy

Sorry but have to surround myself with a little less crazy darkness
From you
Whatever the matter is, I am here for you but at a distance for the time being
There is no quick fix and no band-aid to cover and heal the wound or scar
Depression isn’t fun as one who knows all too well
I have lived there and hope never to return
Learning happens every day and hope to be part of your journey when you are ready to welcome me back
Have to hand it to you
Come out of the dark
