This is for you...

This is a picture of the sky in New York when I was going to a funeral. Even though it was such a sad day, this sky was so beautiful I couldn't resist taking a picture of it. I know this may sound weird, but I think this was his last present to us. Like he was telling us he's alright, so we wouldn't worry. That also kind of puts me at ease.

Baby Stew

First of all this is a long term, not no 20 minute project.
It's not usually a one man thing, but it can be done.
Now lets get to it;

1. Just a bit of warmth
mixed with hope and love,
is how you start this thing off.
A bit of sass and a bit more of hurt,
for them to learn from.
Leave this mixture for about 4 months,
this will be your marinara sauce.

2. The next thing to do,
is quite easy actually,
just add happy thoughts to your marinara and a lot
of patience.

3. You will have to stuff it into a strong soul,
along with a mind of it's own,
as imaginative and active as the child in your soul.
Let this coddle in your pot,
for another 4 months or so.

Just one more month that's all you need,
for the final step that will put you at ease.

4. The final step is all up to you,
add whatever you want to this big pot of stew,
that was made just for you.

Life

Life is long,
yet fleeting.
It feels like
the future waves goodbye as your,
still stuck in the past,

Although this is not true,
we still believe it to be.

Life is just a word
we put meaning to.
It's not that hard to understand.
It's just a little hard to overcome.

Life is like a board game,
and we're the pieces that come with it.
It's hard to not mess up at least once while playing the first time.
But if you give the game your own rules the 2nd time,
its quite easy to break none, right?
WRONG!!!
You can't make your own rules to a game that isn't yours to begin with.
But no one says you can't try.
