“Good Morning Sweetie,” Pops wrote as he had done a lot. I have my window blinds closed. The Sun is at about 10:00 a.m. so it kind of looks like the Dawn which means I’m thinking about you. I’m going to surprise you on Valentine’s Day. I’m going to write something with an amazing rhyme and I will feel my emotions when I write so when you read it, you will feel them too, and it will make you smile and laugh and when you get to the end, you’re gonna want to read it again.
I think it will start like this: “Roses are red…” Then I am going to share it with the whole world, or maybe not. Here’s something I wrote this morning for Stephen. It's called, "How Do We Seize a Moment?" A moment in time? If I gave a moment of mine Is it a second, a minute, a year or an hour Pops wondered from the top of his Tower. What if it’s longer, like more than a year? How about just long enough to quiet the fears? What could be done to have no more tears Instead time with my buds to have a few beers? I’ll give it twelve years, no maybe eleven But by that time I could also be hanging in heaven But who cares where I’ll be I definitely want to see A moment seized beyond all control so maybe then we can stop all the bull 'How do you seize a moment?' I’m afraid to ask I don’t think I’ve ever been basked with this task With your friends make a bet And capture it with a net? Or fall down and pretend your insane So when it comes close, snap on the chains? Or take a shovel, so a hole you can make As big as needed for the moment to take? Cover it with branches and make sure they’re black It will never suspect, the sorry ol’ chap Maybe a cage of steel with a little bait Then sit back, be patient, and wait, wait, wait? Maybe with bayonets and guns Our job would be done? Just tell it to "Stop!" Could it be that simple? If it is so you will see it in my dimples. A moment seized then time to have fun. I just don’t have the answer I’m afraid to say I don’t want to spend my time with conjecture all day I just don't know how to seize a moment in time maybe i need another glass of wine I know I need help; I can’t do it alone I need my brothers and sisters with all their cell phones To gram in an instant, to book with a face, To message each other at a very fast pace To do something sweet With a flying blue tweet Maybe a video to post I like funny kittens the most Let your heart glisten So others will listen To the call to adventure The ultimate joint venture Don’t just listen to me Or to the Dalai Now listen to him sing That Stephen Hawk King Although he has flown We can still make his, and our, dream known. How do you like that one? I put my computer on top of the heater cover this morning and played Jason’s video from Day 144. I imitated his movements and words. It felt good again. I made it to the top of the mountain with him and "roared" really loud. It was a fun journey. It is helping to awaken something inside of me. Hope you have a good day, and welcome to The Family Stephen. Peace out Pops." |
