about, from a child to a man
I wrote this on a whim. Have gotten messages stating that without hurt and pain you cannot write true poetry. So i wrote this just to show that i have suffered pain and hurt the likes of which most people will never have to endure. But i choose to control who i am not who i could or should be. Life is to short to carry around pain, hate, regrets. BUT LOVE, Now that is worth everything. To feel it, to breath it in and let it engulf you in its all consuming flame. That is worth it all. My parents have been married a long time. So i asked my dad once when will it be time for me to get married.
"When you find a woman you are willing to give everything up for, Yours dreams, wants, abitions even you life, then you are ready. BUT dont do this foolishly. love and lust and lonliness are hard to distiguish at times. And never trust your eyes they will lie to your heart everytime.
Pretty deep for a 2nd grade educated hillbilly from the Ozark mountains. But it has been the most valuable thing he ever said to me.
But anyway that is the last of the poem of this type you will see on my posts. I choose to write of love and beauty.
