childhood, father, hope, life, love, social, sympathy, god, god, joy, me,
I’m a man, just simply a man;
once a child with no other distinction.
I am neither your first son, nor last.
I cannot alter what God has planned,
nor stop sun to shine,
nor stop the rain he’s cast.
So, I seek a solution to the paradigm
of angst and joy of life,
of the person I should be now.
Though life’s full of mystery and of misery,
you were there to give me hope and dignity,
no wonder I always love to be with you.
But, when God decided...
we couldn’t say, “No!”
You left me with his everlasting glory.
As time passes, I realize the greatness of
love and joy on the day of my friend’s son,
I became like you, a loving godfather.

how i feel,
This is my religion
This is my faith
This is my church
This is where I pray
This is where I lay
You are what I seek
For you are the father who gave me birth
My father who art in heaven
Hallowed be the name
Thy kingdom come
The will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
This is my prayer
My cross to bear
For when I reach
Its your love and forgiveness i seek

birthday, celebrity, film,
Today is Talia Shire's birthday and she's turned seventy-four.
She starred in the Rocky and Godfather movies and more.
Talia Coppola was her original name.
It's not surprising that she found fame.
The Landlady was my favorite movie that she starred in.
She also gave great performances in Prophecy and Old Boyfriends.
When it comes to Talia, there are two things that I know for sure.
She is very talented and millions of people love and admire her.
(Dedicated to Talia Shire who turned 74 today.)

Dear readers of mine,
I bring you
Some red flowers!
Dear friends of mine,
I bring you some
nice twin flowers!
Dear family of mine,
I bring you
some nice roses!
'Cause, flowers
Do bring us a lot
Of joy at home!
'Cause, flowers
Do love us all,
For, they are like us:
Godfather has also created them!
So, family and friends of mine,
We do have to love flowers,
We all, have to respect flowers,
God, our Father, wants Love to be first in life!!

The late Lou Rawls proved he could sing
with his great big hit “Love is a Hurting Thing”
Another great soul hit I recall
was performed by Joe Tex titled “Skinny Legs and All”
A dynamic duo was Sam and Dave.
“Hold On, I’m Coming” was drawing the rave.
Two songs that went up Billboard’s charts far,
were “War” and “Twenty-five Miles” by Edwin Starr.
One more song I found quite sublime
was the late Billy Stewart’s hit “Summertime”.
The late James Brown could produce a great sound.
Everybody was jumping when “The Godfather” was in town.
I know there are some other goodies I have missed.
Great soul artists are just too numerous to list.

12th grade, birthday, celebration, father, god, love, sad,
A Godfather, often vague
Says Belated HBD, Craig
Not because you matter less
But because I was careless
The first birthday without your Dad
Made perhaps a day,sad
God has a plan for sure
To keep our hearts and minds pure
With all my love,right
To my only God child a wish, bright
A day full of cheer and laughter
To celebrate a whole four days after

How could you prepare me for war
so gently,
as if teaching how flowers should be picked?
