My Giddy Up and Go
Here I sit, older by the day,
Often times thinking, I need to get away.
Held in place by family and friends,
Yet all I see, are roads with dead ends.
My giddy up and go has long got up and went,
But, with God, I must remain content.
Here I sit as time goes by,
Never questioning, the how, or why.
Held together with threads of Love,
Looking toward heaven, to see the Dove.
My giddy up and go, has long fled the scene,
But, with God, I still have my dream.
Here I sit, no tears can flow,
Emotions are gone, medication, you know.
The C word has come, to claim my life,
I thank God in heaven, for he gave me my wife.
My giddy up and go has carried me down,
I think I understand, the tears if a clown.
Here I sit, the time is at hand,
God is calling, I can hear the band.
When we are young, 30 is old,
But then as time catches up, we are not so bold.
My giddy up and go, has done wore me out,
I am not so important, I have not earned any clout.
Here I sit, writing words of prose,
God may see them as a beautiful rose.
My words they are lost in a world full of Pain,
Treasures in heaven, that is where I will gain.

Thank you, I used to write a lot of poetry, but as I got older I got away from it, tonight I felt moved and just let it flow. I pray blessings to you my friend, and may you always be taken down a clear path, and your dreams become reality.
Oh no, really you see roads with dead ends.
There are surely light at the end of the tunnel.
I will be most happy to help.
Drop me a word on my profile if ever you need some help.
Thank you for you kind words and they are appreciated, that said sometimes we have to accept our darkness, in order to appreciate the light. Keep on building my friend.

Thank you for sharing something so intimate, Arthur. Your words are so beautiful and sad. May the Lord continue to give you strength; perhaps it will be in your writing that you will find a way to heal.
I do so appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to read it. I love to write but have seemed to lost some of the ability to write in a way that people can understand, and when this came to me it just flowed. When I go back and read it myself, I realize the cadence of it may be hard for others to find in it, however, I still like how it came out. Thank you again for being a part of it.
