To SC,
the happiness of contentment
the pleasure of peace
the joy of truth
the fulfillment of belonging, and of possession in belonging

Grateful — November 2017
When you see another rise
Maybe you played a part
Even with a cheer or a prayer
Or maybe with nothing to count
You rejoice and are glad
Glad for the good that has come out
Grateful for the success of another
You formed happiness in me
Sharing the joy in you
Gratitude grew inside
Stirred by the news
I am grateful
Happy
Joyful
Debts for which I am credited
Debt to spouse, by marriage
Debt to children, by parenthood
Debt to parents, by sonship
Debt to friends, by friendship
Debt to self, for Christ’s sake
Debt to man, for the dignity inherent in mankind
Debt to God, for the dignity inherent in God

Grateful — September 2017
New friends come
And new friends go
Some go old
Others we’re yet to know
It was a pleasure to meet you
talk with you
eat with you
walk with you
work with you
I am grateful for the time that was
Grateful for the time that is
Thank you
Grateful — August 2017
So I made a new friend
Not by accident
There was something to give
Gratitude
I am grateful
You are faithful
I did’t have to ask
Lover
There’s stuff I need to learn
Some where I’ve got to be
That I learned ’em
That I got there
Thank you
Two reasons for propagated pain
1.) The whole has feelings for the part. E.g. a bruised arm or ego.
2.) The whole critically depends on the part. E.g. if your income gets hurt, it hurts your living.
Tough love
This conflict
tough love
it could go any way
you choose to feel the pain
and to love anyway
That stiff-neck pose
what difference has it made
you know no change
but now you know
it is time to go
for that is love
you have to grow
nothing ties our soul
beyond our vows
the choice we made to die
feelings besides
Silence be not golden
It only matters
if you cared
to turn to
make tough love
for joy to speak
in the long run
we hope
the motive
was clarity
it cared to say
rather than hide
in plain sight
that maybe
and maybe
silence be not golden
