Sentimental

Sentimental

Being retired for more than two decades, and, as I sit in my special place, gazing out at the receeding long rays of the setting Sun, my thoughts gather a big appetite for all the pleasant times of yore, those moments of my life that I still adore.
They seem to float before my eyes, a life, a wife, a baby boy, and more. A raise, a promotion, money galore, no need to only shop at the corner grocery store!

Yes, I had experienced fame too, big Newspapers carried my name, into special Record Books I came. As I awoke from my mystical bliss, I realized this; how did a young boy of twelve, from a broken family, living in povety, with only a High School education, get to this level that I did trod?

It’s a three letter word that rhymes with yard, I am his workmanship, his masterpiece, if you will, he loves to rescue the lost, lift the poor, to sit on a high hill, all these wonderful acts, cost him dearly, his own sinless body, nailed to a cross.

Note: This is a true story, as written; “They overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb, and, their testamony". (Revealation 12:11)

    Nice written, Ken. Those of us who are still working that treadmill could all do with reading this It is no good complaining about life when we still have the ability to work hard for our successes. Sitting on the porch in a rocking chair, it must be satisfying, knowing you did all that you could.

    Take care.
