Syria

July 22, 2022

The sun is coming up on this brand new day, a new hope envelops me, like God’s own loving cocoon, how oh how is this possible? With so much death surrounding our very existence. I see it daily and yet I see my own future, my own story is still unwritten, this hell I’m living which seems to fuel itself, is just a temporary hindrance, or so I pray each night. Can this be the day? The end of horrors for us all? I trust in the Lord and his infinite grace, his love for us all will show us the road to peace. I believe these things, and with love in my heart, I forgive all those who try and take that which I cherish most, it’s not for me to say whose love is righteous and whose is not, only God can know, for he is the guardian of each man’s soul, and that which lives within our very heart will surely guide us down the long path home and into his loving embrace.

I'm 62 years old, I am married, I am an artist, I do abstract paintings and sell them locally and on Etsy in Terrance Gallery. I have had 23 major surgeries on my legs, recently Nov 9, Jan 11 and the next one in April. So I have a full leg cast from Nov 9 thru June 28 so I wrote a children's book which has been published and released to the public March 13, 2021. Also I kind of got interested in writing free verse poetry and I have written five so far. I love my cats and my 14 yr old grandson. I'm married to the absolute best wife ever! One of my tattoos is on my forearm, it's from a free verse poem by Walt Whitman called "Song of the Open Road" it's 15 pages long but well worth reading. My tattoo says "all seems beautiful to me" and there's a Chinese symbol for beauty at the end. Walt Whitman is known as the father of free verse poetry. I actually wrote a free verse poem about myself, which I really like.
