I personally feel the game of tennis is the greatest sport of all
start young and play til you're no longer able to see the ball
A truly enjoyable activity conducive to keeping ones-self fit
as you learn and improve you'll become addicted I guarantee it

Many love just playing while others I'd deem serious 'Tennis players'
I'm a tennis player who relishes playing against those with EGO in layers
When stepping out to compete on court I never consider I can't win
for some having confidence in ones skills isn't arrogance just no spin

Tennis elicited numerous phone calls from people I'd likely never meet
rubbing elbows with doctors, millionaires, and politicians was pretty neat
My Mantra 'Actions speak louder than Words' I have and will always proclaim
that said... I ascertained many are much much better at talking a good game

Excelling at tennis takes Agility, Ability, and grasping the art of playing smart
it's also very advantageous to know every facet of the game by heart
The camaraderie I've shared with the 'TRULY' genuine people I'll not forget
that part alone makes tennis worth it's weight in gold from where I sit

Winning isn't synonymous with hitting hard... it's consistency and being clever
the aforementioned and more makes 'TENNIS THE GREATEST GAME EVER'

What solace is there for us to be found
Who bewail the demise of one so dear
Like the epicentre of a quake that's shaken the ground
Can't believe she's gone who was once so near

So much joy in the home when we rose this morning
To the usual bustle of breakfast being prepared
As she hurried us along for day was dawning
She made sure that each of her boys was fed

And then with commands to each she gave
She grabbed her bag and was out the door
I remember so well that hurried wave
That left me believing she deserved so much more

She was working too hard and needed a break
And my failure to give it simply broke her heart
I had vowed that there were changes I was going to make
But promises hardly kept us from drifting apart

When the news of the car crash came to my door
All the pain and heartbreak bore me down
With a shattered heart I lay on the floor
And wept till my tears had soaked the ground

Such anguish and loss I can hardly explain
We were cast adrift on an ocean of grief
My son's each tried to deal with their pain
But for none was found any sign of relief

Now the years have gone yet time's stood still
For a family who has lost so much
My sons have grown and their steadfast will
Is evidence of their mother's gentle touch

And though we're doing fine in many ways
With all my heart I would love to do
Just for a moment to see her and touch her face
And tell her one last time "I LOVE YOU"

Whomever misrepresents me in any capacity I won't forget the
I get livid when some ignoramus decides to falsify the real me
Humans most always form opinions based solely on hearsay
"the whole truth and nothing but" rarely comes to light anyway

Jealousy induced this a**hole to unjustly target me for self serving gain
the vengeful plan his buds helped him pull off I hope cured his ego stain
Anyone that hurts another with malice 'just because' deserves the same fate
IF a Lucifer exist...he'll be awaiting every ruthless culprit at hell's front gate

"Just Saying"...evidence of our history suggest humans are less than a civilized being
a valid observation if your not the majority who prefer "Eyes Wide Shut" over seeing
Repeatedly saying America the melting pot is earth's greatest nation wont make it true
even though injustice and hypocrisy reign the claim of 'Superiority' will surely continue

The 45th P.O.T.U.S. was sworn in today...eager to make this country great Again
"The Donald" arose when the need was most and his victory "a must win"
This president trumps all others because he actually cares about American's voice
Donald John Trump inspired the truest patriots to vote for the ONLY right choice

All you Haters...a Patriot will try putting a stop to our land becoming a total dump
Eight years of Islamic Obama diminishing this Nation is over... thank you Mr. Trump!

summer winds blowing
distributing the suns warmth
spreading smiles around

Is there a God... What happens after we die... Why are we here?
questions with answers mans smartest Stephen Hawking can't make clear
Most humans share a 'Faith' promising paradise after this life's through
they too worship an "Immortal Being" without definitive proof it's true

The subject of religion gets people riled unlike anything in our history
I'd surmise our existence would be less worrisome if void of mystery
"IF" a deity created humans he wantonly damned us I respectfully argue
He commands his greatest creation not commit the sins he wired us too

"You'll be healed If you believe with all your heart when you pray"...
a real 'Father' would assure 'his children didn't suffer in any way
I can't recall ANY love or mercy coming from the recluse invisible man
Once again I proclaim I own as much hope as one possibly can

Whether you do or don't believe must be the individuals choice
some lash out with vitriol to those who don't share their voice
With my heart and soul I still try believing theirs something to the myth
"FACT"... if I can't speak definitive truth about whatever I plead the fifth

NOTHING has shown it's worthy of blind faith so my amount is none
to appease and deter future contempt concerning this subject, I'm done!

I can taste the change in the air
Summer has broken and is nowhere
The colours i see have lost their spark
Leaves are drying all over the park
I feel the wind cool my skin
Carrying with it a new beginning
And hear the rustling of distant trees
Littering the ground with parched leaves
As autumn rolls around once more
I smell the intent of nature's chore......

Praise be to you Almighty God
You knew me from the womb
You know my every moment in life
And you will guide me to my tomb

It couldn't have been easy for Jesus
To be rejected by this world
I feel his pain and suffering
But I know its not the whole

I know what it is to be whipped daily
And still have to pick up that cross
Only some of your humiliation I feel
While I bear my cross to Calvary

And while you prayed to our Father
Asking for mercy and pass this cup
You understood your purpose
So now you nor I can't stop

Let's give him all the praise
Because his plan is perfectly sound
For dust we are and shall we be
We return right into the ground

His name I lift on High
For we are not one bit worthy of his love
But still he gave us Grace
So sad it had to be paid with Jesus's blood

Would we do it all ove again?
Runaway, just leave him and go?
And when we're accused of being his sheep
Will we deny 'him we don't know'?

There is no limit to what mankind will do to survive
Still Jesus accepted and continued knowing he would die
Was there a lesson? A message?
Of what God expected of mankind?
Where is the incorruptible truth of God's design that no one can find

Driving along the road yesterday
Up ahead were flashing hazard lights
I slowed down on approaching the fray
Until I could get in full sight

Wondering if something bad was ahead
One man was getting out of his car
I approached cautiously with much dread
He was staring at the hot blacktop tar

I too looked to see what was there
And started to laugh at the sight that I saw
Trudging down the road without a care
I watched this huge turtle in awe

He kept walking with determination
Not to let anything stop him
From reaching his final destination
Did he know his chances were very grim

I drove on praying in my heart
That God’s creature would be safe in his travels
Wishing that we humans were that smart
To trust God when our life starts to unravel

Knowing that He is watching over us
And He will help us to get where we are going
Without all the fuss and muss
But with complete faith and knowing

I hope to survive the pain from my latest traumatic moment in life
being told "I'm not in love with you anymore" cut deeper than any knife
Immediately after she uttered those words my world turned pitch Black
when I reluctantly handed her my heart I never wanted it given back

Every day heartrending sadness inside doesn't let me forget she's gone
I still spend nights on my porch swing drowning in sorrow until dawn
On me the mentally and emotionally abusive relationship took a huge toll
I'm convinced nothing or no-one can revive my irreparably shattered soul

Treating women too good is absolutely conducive to them becoming an Ex
their is NO remedy to keep relationships from turning into train wrecks
Much sooner than later I need the amount of missing us to reach none
some mornings my tear-stained pillow proves dreams of her aren't done

I still badly miss and love the woman who was so vile to me
some stem's from returning to being alone where I hate to be
"THIS HURT WON'T HEAL" which can impede moving ahead
the overwhelming ache will be affecting my heart right up to dead

Laying back hovering above the porch in my swing...
with eyes closed I listen to the tiny Wren sing
Repetitive knocking is that of our neighborhood Woodpecker I decree
An eerie sound echoes as gusting winds rip through every tree.

A plethora of Squirrel dissecting Acorns Ten to Twelve feet away...
several others apparently just out for play.
With feet bare I step off the porch onto a Dewy lawn...
I then look up at a breathtaking view during a yawn

From out of nowhere a rogue Raindrop lightly grazes one eye.
startling considering not one cloud hovers in the sky
Unequivocal beauty and wonderment of Nature is heaven on Earth I plea...
sadly hell is too... it's clearly visible every day on your tv.

That resilient Woodpecker is back once again...
I can't make out which tree his beak is meticulously putting holes in.
Something just sent those Squirrels scrambling back to their nest...
Oh well...I'm gonna get back in my porch swing to rest.
