Humble Beginnings

Beginning and Ends

You thank me for loving you. You said I would be with you forever. You called me constantly. I thought of you every moment of the day. Our time together was never less than beautifully and oh so enjoyable. And all the loveliest of sentiment crisscrossing each other's lives in a box on a shelf, in a box in a vehicle. No matter how old or how bad, we had a mother who named us. Who birthed us to be the highest of good. The ancient stars laugh from such a distance with such warmth across the cold void. You don't have to be a star to bring the brightness with you through living.

This is for my daughter

Whenever I hear someone talking about how their daughters are very smart, models, star basketball players, so pretty, so successful, so so so on into eternity, I'm glad you are my daughter having all the above qualities times ten. I never brag about anything I believe, but it sure is comforting knowing you are always here with me in my heart. Live every day like it's your birthday and always remember I believe in you.

Tandy 1000

I remember painting your ceiling with stars that would shine at night and the rest was lovely sky. My artistic work questionable, my intention universal. Trying to fire up the Tandy 1000 to play music or just anything. Till this day I'm not handy with a Tandy nor an IBM, an Apple, or a Dell, or any artificial intelligence.
