I sit facing the setting sun on the bank of Bayou Lafourche something caused me to try and count the things I have done this day to ease the heart of anyone a rough and gruff man has been my nature looking at the world as something to wrestle and brawl eh . . . it is a natural fact however that I have retracted my clawing nature I awake each new day eager to mend fences and put smiles on the faces of those who come into contact with me a good feeling, almost alien in nature it all comes from my unchained heart my dwindling days look, from where I’m sitting to be bright and sunny who’d a thunk it? ©May 30, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

I spent many a day mad as hell and fighting the world, Jer, until I noticed one day no one was fighting back, and the things I thought so important were really of little merit. Kind of what this poem reminded me of. Truly is better to view life from *this vantage point me thinks. Michael |

Oh, you are, as they say, right on, Michael. I finally "got right" with the world, but it was a long process. I am very happy where I am today within my thoughts. A great feeling. Thanks for reading and commenting on my offering . . . ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Music to my heart! God answers prayers even when you aren't the one praying. Who'd a thunk it? Why, I have always believed in miracles.  ~L |
