God To Man

I am the deepening of the blue

                    

  Picture son Tater-tot

I'm the deepening of the blue

upon the sky of man

I am the stories all told

like the billowing blowing sand

 

I am he who gave you life

beneath my sky gone gold

As sunset burns and dies

I give you my stars to hold

 

You have but one fleeting chance

plant the seeds of love to grow

Create a life long everlasting

such as none could ever know

 

Then you will be the gentle soul

upon whom all life does seek

You will inherit this little world

you the loving and the meek

Author's Note

I wish for all of us that this be true.

My salute to thee, O! the Happy and all Loving Soul - Tate!

I loved so much these lines...

"Plant the seeds of love to grow.
Create a life long everlasting.
Such as none could ever know.

Then you will be the happy soul."

Thanks for such great inspiration! I would also try to write by listening to my heart and soul :)

Lovely Tate...full of hope...

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you so much I took that picture of tatertot as a baby seems like yesterday now he's 20

[A Soap Mess Stories]

Times flies....my son is 20 too...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

me too...beautiful poem...we have one fleeting chance to make love of this life---we must take it.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Jacob I see the trumps of the world the north koreans I wonder how they judge beauty. It is always in dollars .They will never know true beauty or joy like we do .
Let no vain hope deceive your mind
our short lives hastened streams be
Doomed in end to fall apart
like spent waves return to the sea

As with all the humble rivers roll
death will level property and pride
Awaiting providence and time
rich and poor sleep side by side

[R Smith]

Words cannot do justice;

This is beyond brilliant! :)

[Tate Morgan]

Richard thank you You have me smiling . There is nothing better than that.

[wordman]

[Tate Morgan]

Hi Pat thank you me too me too wouldn't it be great if we all could look at the world the way we saw it December 24 1968 when Apollo 8 first took a picture of us from the moo. And on that night addressed the while of humanity by reading Genesis which started with " in the beginning God made the heavens and the Earth"

[wordman]

and i wish we still had that sentiment,times are changing

[Tate Morgan]

They sure are we will likely live to see the folly of our ways sad we are our worst enemy

[Lyn Croker Paget]

You write so sincerely from the heart and soul! No need for me to repeat any of those lines to express how beautiful they are.

[Tate Morgan]

[Tate Morgan]

[MomzillaNC]

Oh my. Hot Toddy (if he's not on narcotic cough or pain meds) and Vick's and steam. I've had pneumonia so many times -- even been in an oxygen tent, back in the day. God bless the pneumonia vaccine!

[Tate Morgan]

i get him home in a few then off to the hospital

[MomzillaNC]

Hope it's not pneumonia and that he recovers quickly. At least he'll have loving care while he's recuperating.

[Tate Morgan]

[MomzillaNC]

I'll keep him in my prayers.
