Jason & Sarah



Jason & Sarah
June 29th 2024


Anticipated 'citement 
Within Murphy's abode,
Bridesmaids, Bride, Brides mother,
Excitement, overload.

Brides father, calm and trusting
That everything goes well,
'Twill be a day that's memorable
For his delightful belle.

Meanwhile, at church, awaiting,
The groom, best man, beside,
If he was feeling nervous,
He surely, well, did hide.

Checking time on cell phone,
Young Jason thinks 'soon due', 
Brides mother, looking radiant,
But then, that's nothing new.

Bridesmaids arrived and waiting
For Bridal limousine,
Pat and Sarah resplendent,
The best they've ever been.

Bridal March now echoing,
The congregation stands,
All eyes secured on beauty,
Quite soon, the 'wedding bands'.

Nervous anticipation, 
The plans, fallen in place,
Jason beams adoringly,
When they look, face to face.

We hear, each one, their promises,
As they pronounce "I DO"
"My love secured indelibly,
For no one else, but you".

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

I love you dad.

    I told my dad, while on his bed, assuming he did sleep, In hospital, [ he'd not come home ] with tears my eyes did weep, “I love you dad” Then hugged him tight, while feebly he replied “I.............love...............you................too..............son” THAT’S the thing I cherish, since he died. With forty years age difference, while young, we were not close. He wasn't very tactile and nor was he verbose, But as we aged, did closer grow, in ways he’d show his love, We’ll meet again, don’t know the ‘when’, – the ‘where’? – in Heaven above. I then went out to my car after this and bawled my eyes out at having had this special moment.

A Father's Blessing

                  As youngest son, I always sensed                   From many of the brothers,                   True or not, they’d put me down,                   I wasn’t like the others.                                    A few days prior to passing on,                  A blessing I was giv’n                        From my beloved, aged dad,                  Before he moved to Heav’n.                                    His health was failing faster now                  The family rallied 'round,                  My eldest bro from ‘cross the sea,                  Was heading ‘homeward bound’.                                   While visiting, - a daily rit,                 To spend some ‘qual’ty time’,                 I mentioned ‘bout th'upcoming trip,                 I’ll ne’er forget this line.                                 “You’ll not need me tomorrow night                 To visit with you, dad,                 Your number
