Friday with my Father

Friday's were his day off.

(Let him sleep in. Let him rest.)

He would take me to breakfast every Friday morning.

First, he would teach me how to love, and how I should be loved. (Burger King Croissants, Quality time.)

He would teach me how to love others. ("Let's bring one for your teacher, too!")

He would teach me about how time was precious. (Park, sign in, hold my hand, pray with me, walk me to the door.)

He would teach me the value of hard work. (Mow the lawn, dig fences, serve others.)

He would teach me how to how fun. (Movie dates, TGIF, Ice-cream, and Shirley Temple re-runs.)

He would teach me comedic timing. (Nothing's funnier than a perfectly-timed toot.)

He would teach me sacrifice. (Spending his only day off to pour into his family.)

Friday's were his day off.

And the newest adventure iiiiissss.........

Hi friends,

It's been to long. I hope you're doing well!

I have started a new challenge for myself. 

I used to write poetry all the time and it's been several years since I've been at it.

I came across a poetry challenge that kind of helps you get your creative juices flowing by giving you a few different ideas to write about each day.

I know I'm a little rusty and everything may not turn out as epic or beautiful as I hope, but I'm at least going to try! :)

The start of my newest adventure...poetry...who knew! :)

Here's a little bit of what I wrote today:




I have known a heavy hand 
and I have known a gentle man.

I have seen a flower bloom
and I have watched a soul wane.

I have heard a child's laugh
and I have heard my father's cry.

And I have loved.
And I have felt.
And I have lived.
