Going Through It
I’m thinking about you
Every day, and what you’ve got to go through,
Going through right now.
I cannot do
a thing –
Well, give a ring now and again -
But you have other friends
And relatives for that
To buy each this and that
To fill your needs.
No, inasmuch as my heart bleeds
For what you’re going through
And what you probably will go through,
Forced by creeds
Of other sorts
I’m forced to sort it out.
You’re ill,
And you’ll be ill a while.
Thoughts say, “Get well!”
Three times “Get well”,
Eight, thirty times “Get well!”
Sent into space, to heaven, God -
More times than spent on Mac or IPad.
Possibly the most effective way
From me to you
To help with what you’re going through:
I pray – not in the ordinary way –
I don’t know how to say it,
Words don’t, can’t describe it,
But I’m with you – and pray it.
Prayer -- Angu Walters

Learning
About Gravity
1.
I was six
years old
when I had
my first lesson
I remember
I wanted to
fly and
I really
thought I could
I saw birds
doing it all the time and
it looked
easy to me
so I climbed
up on
the roof of
the garage and
stood at the
top
flapping my
arms
I wasn’t
afraid
when I
looked at the ground
before
leaping into the air
2.
a few years
later
the girl who
lived on the corner
moved away
and
it must have
been around
the sixth or
seventh grade
I thought
she would
always be there
I thought
we would
fall in love and
maybe
we’d get
married some day
but she left
and
I don’t
remember
if she even
told me goodbye
3.
it was the
middle of the night
when my
brother got killed and
two
policemen showed up
at our door
and
I remember
how I was
pulled from
my warm bed
sitting at
the bottom of the stairs
my parents
standing in the kitchen and
all the air
sucked out
of the room
as the men
in uniform
gave us the
news
