I would like to share a poem or two with you, oh yah,I do poetry too.Got lots of that and plan to put more on Eagle Voice,thanks to Phillip.Even thou most poems are not rather pleasant are humane and true.I'm sure all of us folk can do poetry if we can write and have asbestos.Hope you all enjoy. 12-28-1999 AS I anticipate spending X-mas With my family and loved ones As I drove into my parents drive way Such joy I would soon share all day Opening the door to a maze on the floor And into the front room I saw more and more All amongst the house,a site to see Clear plastic hoses run every which way This hose run every which way This hose went left,right and back All tangled up and mess on the floor Way in the corner, a big box I see All these hoses begin their for me to see Each one of these hoses,I follow to their end Hooked to the nostrils, of my dearest best friends I stood in the hallway and saw what I seen From down in my heart I felt my life scream Two frail people,gasping for air Each step they take doesn't seem fair They both aren't very old,60 plus years So hard to walk,so painful to hear Dead in my tracks,mind in a daze What I am seeing,brings back the old days Days of my mom,running faster than me Chasing me for wrong with a switch from a tree A woman who raise six children with love Never to stop loving till her last day Always their for me when trouble I do Teaching me right from wrong that I do I stood for a moment,seemed like many a years Life flashing before me,holding back my tears And beside her,her love of 46 years A hose to my Dad and I lost all my tears This x-mas shall never forget Never before have I felt so sick As we all stood,looking at each other Me their son, they my father and mother What has happened,how could this be What I felt as my parents looked at me Oh such pain I saw in both their eyes A look I felt as if they were saying good bye Miles of tubes,constantly feeding them air All I could think is how life is not fair Confined to a hose, as far as the end So slow each step,their knees they can't bend It's so hard to writhe down a hurt that's inside And finish a poem my tears I can't hide I turn away fast and take a deep breathe Cry in my silence yet fooling no one they didn't say much, not much could they say As we looked at each other,oh what a day I walked towards them to give them a hug I went to my mom first as I've always done I reached my arms around her Wanting to just hold her so tight In my arms as we held each other So many times as a son and a mother Over whelmed with emotions going faster than light All that in life I love as I'm holding mom tight I love you dear mother, I love you so much A special love shared, when ever we touch A thought of this moment that I'm sharing with mom A day will come and I will be alone So I held a little tighter heart against mine Fighting back thoughts of mom,not in my arms I give mom a kiss,say I love you again A extra hug and our arms became unhooked I look at my Dad, to give him a hug He seemed so distant as we became one With my arms around Dad, his around me Over his shoulder, it hurts what I see Here is the man, once strong and so free Holding me loosely over my shoulder to see To feel what I did,Dad in my arms My arms holding on, I don't want to let go I love you Dad, I say close to his ear Holding him tight,we could feel our own fears As I let Dad go from the love in my arms I felt so sad for having let go I had to be excused,into the bathroom,I locked the door I sank to the floor,I couldn't hold back no more. I cried so hard,seeking peace from within God give me strength so I can begin To get to my feet and hold back my tears Go face my loved ones,not showing my feard I did rather well yet I know they could tell They felt my pain as I shared in their hell Helpless I am,what's done it's too late Time is a ticking,time is their fate Saying good bye to what I last saw Changes my life to stand and not fall All that matters and all that I see I love you Dad and Mom,best friends we'll forever be... God bless Dad and Mom from your loving son, Mike...
