A Poetry 1/02/09-
"There's no situation in life Jehovah hasn't prepared us for..
We just gotto study so we can pass the test"
On a day to day basis
we are faced with the reality
that time and unforseen occurences
may befall us all
As children we don't really see it so clearly
until It comes to visit us most definitely
in tragedy..suffering...
Some of us are born with a tendency
to quite cognizant of this, unwelcome guest
always a bit more paranoid than our peers
a bit more vocal with our fears
Yet we live.. Ahh yes.. We live.. Inviting all of lifes guest..
In fact I think back to my childhood
when I had to entertain this unwelcome guest
this unforseen occurence which
defeated all logical estimates
of what tomorrow was supposed to be
My mother had to leave me...
My mother had to be free...
and free she was.. Not of course of me
because she could not be u see
because I prayed.. Daily.. Nightly
Its not normal for a child to understand grievance,
in fact its not normal for a man even..
For a childs mind is always feeling...
Not thinking?..
Yet in her last words to that date
She told me it was not because of me.. And with my own eyes I had seen
My own beaming eyes
had seen... The things she endured- the places her heart must have been..
Time and unforseen occurence came then.. And stole her away-
forget the logic of- at least she's not.. And enter the emotion of - Where she's not!
Yet I saw her again...
relatively soon- now that i'm an older..man.
I can see clearly now
the rain is gone...
But that was not the last time i've welcomed him..
Time and unforseen occurence
came again..
And he decided he wasn't satisfied with being a guest..
He wanted to be my friend..
Fool of a friend- Yet if nothing else
He's as reliable as hell
and as his name says
He never ceases to bring forth
the unexpected...
But methinks I am not alone in this
For this friend of mines, as was said
Is a friend that gives
His time and energy
to everyone..
Because time is energy
to someone1... Any 1..
What is time ??
But awareance of events in passing
A thought introduced
By the one who is everlasting..
Long and short, being distinctions
significant to 1's with appreciation
Those who "recognize with gratitude and are grateful
for..
No matter which direction
Whether in predicting or recollection
Time
Is a most precious gift
especially when coupled with happiness..
Yeah see but then there's that unforseen occurence-
always clamoring for his "space"
in your life
His "moment" to shine..
Wonder we do..
Why he gets to shine so much more than we do...
No matter how many movies
how many books are written
telling us "
-Not to abuse it
-Control it..
-It is Money- so don't waste it..
-Every moment of if is precious
-Appreciate it..
-Its fleeting.. Don't be so attached to it
-Let it go.. its the past isn't is??
Yet some would sell their souls- just for a few more minutes with it..
I personally enjoy it..
Perhaps one wonders what face to place
on this ever so permanent guest
Well its not death
I am not so cryptic
neither is it life itself
cuz well.
There's only 1 giver of it..
Place as its face
Uncertainty - Anxiety - Perplexity...
All the Ity's that simply mean not knowing..
And for us - forever to be, little children
We could let him always be our friend
But he doesn't have to...
In fact- those older children- who've gained more of that appreciation..
Will tell you
Nothing unforseen can befall us when
we make Faith and Trust, be our always invited- always welcomed friend.
With him in our corner
THEN...
We'll get rid of that pesky all consuming "friend"
Time and unforseen occurence
