What are you waiting for?

My man has a strength I do not possess. A power of simplication. A power of detachment. He carries weight on his shoulders and then puts it down when he's tired no matter what the cost. There is courage and strength in that.

A girlfriend recently told me "your tenacity has gotten you so far in life and is also the thing that is going to kill you if you're not careful. DNA, socialization, spiritual inheritance, whatever it is...there it is. Before me, beautiful. When I collapse into a mess of tears, my man is there to pick up the pieces. And when he lets another ball drop, I am there to catch it. And it's beautiful. And necessary., or it wouldn't be so.
We need other, us men and women. Let's not forget that in all our craziness. We need each other.
Going back
By: Michael P. Sheldon
If I had the power to turn back the clock,
go back to that house at the end of the block,
the house that was home when I was a kid,
I know that I'd love it more now than I did.
If I could go back there at my grandmother's knee,
and hear once again all the things she told me,
I'd listen as I never listened before,
for she knew so well just what life had in store.
And all the advice my grandpa used to give,
his voice I'll remember as long as I live,
but it didn't seem really important then,
What I'd give just to live it all over again.
And what I'd give for the chance I once had,
to do so much more for grandma and grand-dad,
to give them more joy and a little less pain,
a little more sunshine, a little less rain.
But the years roll on and we cannot go back,
whether we were born in a mansion or a shack,
but we can start right now, in the hour that's here,
to do something more for the ones we hold dear.
And since time in its flight is traveling so fast,
let's not spend it regretting that which is past,
but let's make tomorrow a happier day,
by doing our "good to others" -- Today.
