Turn The Pages of My Book That You Missed While Away.


Turn the pages of my book

that you missed while away.

My two sisters came back together,

now the three of us make a new triangle.


My two brothers see each of them

in a different light,

they too make triangles now.


My son, his lovely wife, and I

are learning to create a new

triangle-we will succeed.


My brothers see me as very deep

and daring, now I appreciate

our triangles even more.


My lovely Mike,

now in God's arms,

brings our triangle

closer to my earthly heart.


Kevin and I are slowly adding

lovely persons to our lives,

making triangles.


Oh yea, he and the dog

and I have become a better

triangle.


I learned through feeling everything

that we make our world ugly.

I know we are the ones who have to fix it

by fixing ourselves.


I learned I am as truthful a person as one can be,

while truth be ugly, hidden truth is uglier.

I know my truth shall set me free.


I learned that I loved my friend more

deeply than even I realized. I know

my friend cares for me.


I learned there is beauty indescribable

in insanity. I know I never want to

go there again.


I learned my God is forever

and always with me,

even when I deny.


I know I will never deny again.


I learned God does indeed work

in mysterious ways. I know

there's not a damn thing I can

do about it, but let it happen.


I learned to face my fears.

I know I'm ready to roll.

Will you roll with me?
