The silent night came with a purpose
to speak to me in dreams unfelt before.
Though it could not reach me with mortal words
it gave me the sight in visions.
It was a conference of realistic illusions
infused with events past for my eyes to see.
For reasons unclear to my mind it spoke
with reasons for my heart to translate.
Deeper than nightmares the journey focused
on my troubling times of despair.
Focal points of magnified proportions
filled my screen to highlight the value of its visit.
There was no time to deny the truth
because judgment was not the crime that needed repair.
I was to lay still and listen to the wisdom
brought before me so that I would not have to pretend with lies.
Intelligent was the lesson my brain was forced
to indulged in without a backdoor to escape in retreat.
So many times before I had made promises unkept
in denials of my foolish passions for wishful ideas in my thinking.
Oh, Holy Night you gave me no more chances to slip away
and run like a coward looking for a place to hide.
Somehow you had heard my distress call in my dreams,
but never believed that you would someday come and wake me up.
And now that I have weathered your attack
I will awake with no shame to bare.
And I will devote all my energies for positive motives
hoping that we will never have to talk again.
Silent night, do not leave without knowing
that I value the time we spent together.
I will be a better man in the end
if I stand and fight with a committed faith.

Thank you so much and I have always meant it, but this time it is more than ever that I really thank you with my whole heart. It is a relief, a healing, a lesson, a time to continue making something out of myself instead of letting the guilt guide me into depression. I want to live again and feel how it it to see my youngest son marry this coming year in January. I hope to see grandkids like you have, and just hug them and love them like a grandfather should. Your wonderful time reading really encourages me to carry on, write, live and just be myself. I know you know my feelings inside as explain how it is to have that empty nest, but we shall overcome and live as long as we can. A million more thanks and kisses to go along with a hug so now put your right hand around your left waist, now you left hand around the right waist, come on, do it, come on, do it, okay, thats better, I’m feeling it, so thank you so much. There, that wasn’t so bad, have a great day and keep writing, oh, make time for yourself and your grandkids, don’t worry if you don’t have time to read and comment, I truely understand.

Oh, trust me, I will bore you in time, I have over 400 writings and don’t feel like you have to read so much. When I started, they were very plain because I was scared to share my poems. They were simple because I used to write them for my friend soldiers that had girl friends and they wanted something sweet for them, so they asked me. My experiences when I was in Vietnam fighting that crazy war was a time for writing when we were not fighting. I had my girl friend, which later became my wife whom I talk about. Hey, sorry if I bring so many tears to your eyes, I do have others that are funny and such, so wear out the tears. Laters, oh and thanks a million as always.
