Uno, you are a strong woman and I wish you the best for your new direction. Just remember to be close to God and you will never be alone as He will never forsake you.

Did you get any closer to the info you needed ?

Roses are red and violets are blue,

I rather be in S/L eating fufu,

the time has come near for the very last stretch

and I know we will make a very perfect match.

The CO may be grumbling and the tension be high

but I know the SON will shine bright in the sky.

I liked the fufu part.

Unoooo, that poem stirred up some feelings. Why did you have to go there? Okay, so if that was tame, then....? 5 o'clock needs to come quickly so I can get home to my man.

Uno, are you sure you prayed hard enough?

Here's one I wrote a couple years ago...

Our Love, Our Ship ~ by Stephen Boland

The worker of a lady

Who served her men so true

She brought us home so many

From oceans green and blue

The masts of steel and hull of white

‘Twas hard to see her go

As twilight came with driving rain

And took her down below

“So what to do?” the captain says

As we reminisce our love

“She is no more, she’s on the floor”

Cries he to God above

When comes a shout from crew around

“We’ll raise her once again!

We know from dreams of Fiddler's Green

That death is not the end.”

So on that day it came to pass

She was ours to protect

“She lives” said we, “It’s meant to be”

Our love we’d resurrect.

Remember by this tale of faith

Of men who persevere

To keep your hope to keep afloat

The things that you hold dear

I liked that, it was light and whimsical. Peace be unto you

I am NOT a poet, but was inspired one evening last July (actually couldn't sleep, had to get this down on paper). It's not all lovey dovey as the other here, but it's the only one I've got.

CHERRY BLOSSOMS

Tiny, bright, pink blossums

announce spring has come.

Joyous and jubilant they

trumpet loudly their arrival

But what of those in Langley

that weep and mourn

Happiness left, for two

years have been gone

The blossoms fall to gound in saddness

as rememberance of two lives lost at their feet

They would have moved had the ablility been granted

but took the full force that March afternoon

Strong and tall they stood

as glass shattered, metal twisted and blood flowed.

Jason and Kelly, two lives just begun,

ended that day among the cherry blossoms.
