Drafted

Drafted

As horrible as it is, this war had begun.

His draft number got pulled out of a ton.

Basic training for him started with drills. 

Sent to San Francisco with all those hills.

Not before he had time to tie the knot,

To the girl of his dreams, ready or not.

His time in the army lasted a year.

With his honorable discharge he said Hello Dear!

The Right Stuff

The Right Stuff

How does she do such great feats?

Does her clock tick to multiple beats?

She taught me to sew and then some.

Not sure where all the energy comes from.

Greatest at organizing, so We'll be just fine.

I think her brain is twice the size of Einstein.

She braids her bread that rises to the sky.

She must get her answers from on high.

She is one of those that are Greatest of these.

Taught me, she did to say thanks and please.

Don't think I can ever give thanks enough.

But from God, she got all the right stuff. 

Point Me The Way To Go

Point Me The Way To Go

I am told of this change in me.

Never could I imagine nor see.

It has arrived, the time is now.

I might need help, I don't know how.

My past will show the change to do.

In my future and I trust in me too.

I have yet to break out of this cocoon,

nor off the ground to my own tune.

Feel the breeze beneath my wings.

Breath in the smell of things.

Show off my brightest color

My show will be the greatest wonder.

Dream Race

Dream Race

A long time ago I dreamed a dream.

I was in a race that starts in a stream.

My mom and I, We're in it to win it.

With the start of the race. I say "Wait a minute.

I forgot my shoes so our start is delayed.

Even with a strange course, we never strayed.

We passed all the others and won the race.

It was because we had a really good pace.

We took first place with a time of 6 and half.

Waking from the dream thinking this was no laugh.

My dream showed me that time remaining. 

On my mission should be for working and not complaining. 

In 1994 I had this dream, even still vivid today. Now as I was out running I saw this scene that reminded me of a poem I wrote last week about this dream.   The dream helped me to finish my mission working at what I was doing out there. It was a heavenly reminder.
