"S" is for.....

SOME people are content to be part of the herd

to be yet another SIMPLE SHEEP

While others prefer to be the leader

and make more noise then tiny peeps.

To be a part of the flow is fine for SOME it SEEMS

But life is for the living, this I wholeheartedly believe.

To rise above the normal black and white SIMPLICITY

To raise my voice so loud that all can hear and plainly see me.

I want the people to know I was here SO long after I am gone

That they all remember my beliefs held SO dear and for SO long

That everyone is equal whether SHEPARD or the SHEEP

and this is our world to SHARE and for everyone to keep.

SO I pray that everybody SHARES in the world as it SLOWLY grows

Where the the future takes us heaven only knows.

I'll live my life as a leader an example to the flock

and never underestimate it but in it take stock

That there are people in the world content to be

yet another SIMPLE SHEEP

and others that are born to lead

and make more noise than just a peep.

"R" is for....

Getting "older" I think of people before I think of me

I think of loved ones, friends and most of all family

No longer night's of parties and days carefree

I'm a grown ass man with RESPONSIBILITIES.

My three sons mean this entire world to me

so glad God gave that second chance to see

those boys becoming better men than me

I thank him everyday for that, and what it means.

RESPONSIBILITY is more than just another word to me

It's been passed through generations down my family tree

It means to stand up for your country and your beliefs

and to fight for that country if that is what it needs.

I am proud of all my friends, loved ones, and family

for being there to support each other through the tragedies

Not running from but facing head on what comes naturally

all of this defines RESPONSIBILITY to me.

"Q" is for...

 

So we've come once again to the letter "Q"

the QUINTESSENTIAL scrabble letter it's true it's true

It's QUIRKY, QUIET, cute, and QUAINT

So hard to use it may make you faint

So be wise while playing and hoard those "U"'s

for without hard pressed for words with "Q"'s

Remember my friends to keep your aim true

to win the game with the QUIRKY "Q"

"P" is for....

For this PARTICULAR POST I will PURSUE a different PURPOSE

 then PUTTING PHRASE into PARAGRAPH or my usual PROSE.

I would like to PRAISE the man who made me, the man who

PRODUCED in me, the way I am today. My father, my PATERNAL influence, 

My PADRE, my.....POPS.

Now when he was younger man he was a true PATRIOT

he joined the military of his own mind and never let us forget.

He served his country valliantly in a sad forgotten war

and fought for god, country and family to protect our very shore.

He came home to a nation, not proud of what it"s done

a returning warrior, a mother's oldest PRODIGAL son.

PATRIOTISM runs deep to this day in my Father's veins

and the soul and heart of a warrior inside him still remains.

He PROTECTED and worked for his country his God and family

he raised us with real values,my brother, sister and me.

I am PROUD to be the son of PARENTS who believe in loyalty

to have my family's warrior blood coursing straight through me.

I thank God everyday for everything and for all they gave

For blessing me with a real father and for the life's he saved.

That's my POPS in a nutshell, he might seem simple or quite PLAIN

but the PRIDE in me started early and today it still remains.

"O" is for.....

As the year continues into seasons colder

I find myself reflecting on being a decade OLDER

Has the first forty years made me tame or bolder

Did God give me all the weight I could shoulder

OLDER and wiser the saying goes they say

So I've grown to live my life day by day

While the first two decades I lived to play

these last two have made me the man today

As I grow OLDER the past becomes reflected

Were decisions made right and how my life's affected

Do I feel elated or feel alone and dejected

Have I done enough to leave a stamp detected

Well these last forty years have made me OLDER

I find myself not tame but bolder

In beliefs held dear I am proud to shoulder

As the year continues to seasons colder.

"N" is for...

NOW that fat tuesday's gone and begins the season of lent

I can think of NOTHING that i'd give up or want to forget

I have lived my life as I did with voluminous lament

But who can say they have lived life without regret?

What I have done and I have been through

Has lead my on a crooked path straight back to you.

NOTHING in my life has ever came with ease

from birth until NOW fighting from on my knees.

I thank you God for all that I have been through

From the military to the monster to things anew

I am thankful for the life you've gave to me

From parents to three sons to Melanie.

Without my past there would be NO NOW

So why would I regret the way or how

I got to where I am in my life today

If something wasn't done then who's to say?

I thank you lord for all you have done

for NOT just me but for everyone

For keeping a watchful eye from high above

I know that it all was done with love.

So again I say this for lent and regrets

I give good wishes to all who want to forget

For there is NOTHING in my life I want to give away

for my choices are what made me the man I am today.

"M" is for.....

My girlfriend is extraordinary to me

Especially the world and how it she sees

Loving her completely comes to me so easily

Absolutely honestly overwhelmingly

Never compromising herself or asking it of me

I adore her for her quirks and little bits of insanity

Exactly the perfect beautiful MELANIE!!
