My Sissy's Poem!

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  Warm and friendly
  Sincere of heart
  Upfront and honest
  Right from the start.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  No way naive
  Nor am I vain...
  Detest those who-
  Inflict the pain.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  For close friends
  I'll go to the wall
  Family, too, and ...
  Most of all!
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  Receptive and open
  Yet tough as a bear
  And dumb as a fox...
  So fools beware!
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  Like cars and racing
  As well as football.
  Did I mention Jeff Gordon,
  And also..baseball?
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  My music is country
  With some older rock
  I like to cook...
  Some in a wok.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  I guess this is enough
  Right now 'bout me...
  'Cause I can add more...
  Or not...we'll see!

"My Brother's Wings!"

 
by [*Artsie_ladie*]
© 5/12/2005

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  Across the wild, blue yonder,
  A new pair of wings are flying.
  As a blessed, new soul
  Crosses the fold
  To a new life of living, not dying.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  Up, up and away a new angel's risen
  To try on his new pair of wings,
  Where he'll sit upon high
  And watch from the sky,
  Where he'll reside with the 'King of Kings'.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  Though his worldly life has come to a close,  
  But forgotten shall not be,
  'Cause the light for him
  Will never grow dim
  In our hearts we'll carry thee.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  As an American, he walked proud,
  And served his country well;
  As he did partake 
  For all our sake
  To keep our Liberty Bell.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
   
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  He resented injustice
  And those that always would take.
  Someone in need 
  Was his friend indeed
  With no air portrayed as fake.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  
  Family ties were important to him
  For he spent much time at such,
  'Cause he had to see
  Know the family tree
  To him this mattered much.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  He loved the world that God created,
  But not always those in charge,
  'Cause all the self seekers
  Couldn't lace his sneakers
  Or match integrity this large!
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  He reserved for those that earned
  His admiration and his trust.
  Compliments from him received
  Were not easy, for he believed
  Deservation of you a must.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  A measure of greatness in a man is true,
  As to how he regards his mother.
  He loved and adored
  And worshiped the board
  She stands on like no other!
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
   
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
  It was mostly within himself
  As to where he found the fault
  He never conceived  
  Nor truly believed
  In his own wisdom vault.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  Though he's gone on before us
  And boarded that heavenly train,  
  We're sad, it's true,
  Dismayed and blue...
  But, in our hearts he shall remain.
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  We'll look to the heavens much brighter.
  Our comfort shall come from afar,
  'Cause we all will know
  That a new heavenly glow
  Shines from his soul...a star!
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
