Have you ever been a hostage of love , horrible isn't it? Has your life been captured by that vulnerable feeling that makes your heart skip beats. Have you ever been on trail with a grand jury of a selected team of your heart and your brain informing you that the verdict will be that your life will never be yours again because you let one stupid person no different from all the other stupid people into your life and they opened up your chest and created a pain filled  with so much pleasure. Your a hostage of love.
We're you ever kissed by the darkness of death who deguised their love with a heart full of blood pumping emotions. Have you ever held hand with the one person who you love and you let them so deep into your soul that the grasp of their palm felt like pain ripping you apart but it feels so good .
Your a hostage of love.
Has your imagination ever cut through your heart like a splinter with no way out . Have you ever put up all these defenses that you built a suit of no amour around your heart so no one was able to hurt you or to love you. Because you once was afflicted by pleasure and pain . So you now try to band aid  those tiny scars of a unidenfied happiness and try to heal the wounds of your heart that has yet to be broken
Your a hostage of love !

(Me) pop-pop since the day we first met you always informed me everything would be ok. From your distinct whistle,your classic demeanor and loving charm. You were the richest definition of a man, a father, grandfather and a husband. But above all you were a protector.
As we sat in silence, you and I and I told you I would try to stay strong through this journey, but it would be hard not to cry. I felt I was losing my protection. No words were spoken , you asleep and me in tears. I knew my heart was breaking because my soldier will no longer be here.
( whispers ) pop-pop I need to know it will be ok, I still need that protection.
(Pop-pop)  please don't cry because I am gone. Sing because I am free. Remember now I can be happy. A soldier to you I will always be. My child , I will still protect you for God has given me these wings.
Yes I had to leave but not with out a fight. I lived the way I should during my 87 years of life. Now wipe those tears so you can see I am at peace. I have to go and continue my journey to heaven where my wife has built a new home.
So remember even though I left you . Neither one of us will be alone .  
In memory of  my pop-pop DAVID E EVANS
