Life in circumference

Soul and body compasses one
The body remains on earth
Though the mortal coil is done
Spirit returns to origin of birth

I often wonder where it goes
When our spirits are set free.
That 20 watts of energy flow
That God will take to Thee.

It's uncertain and unsure
And no facts can unvail.
Our mortal brain can not endure
The significance that prevail.

Cathy and I when we first met
The feeling was so familiar.
It was as if the time was set
For another encounter here.

We both felt we met before
And many years in the past.
The familiarity was evermore
We knew our love would last.

Years past as love grew strong
We adopt each others ways,
Some short, some every long
But o'l they're here to stay.

I know not what the after life
Or what may God's preference
Bound to this life and it's strifes
Life in circumference

Year four

God's gift to me

Here was a person that was kind, giving, intelligent, witty, strong-willed,yet mindful of others needs, beautiful both inside and out, gentle and soft and easily hurt. She was articulet, she was funny, she was child-like in a sophisticated way. A little girl once told her that she really liked Cathy because Cathy can get little and that was an unusual impression of a little girl towards a grown-woman. Cathy always put the wants of others before her own and she always made sure that her actions didn't offend anyone. She wasn't always successful in that but it wasn't due to the lack of trying. I think in many cases people got offended because Cathy brought out their own guilt.

She was a pillar of strength when it came to right and wrong. Her Catholic upbringing gave her a strong conviction to what she believed was right. And in many cases she was indeed right. Her presence and strong beliefs kept me from wandering off the path and saying or doing things that oppose her strong sense of proper behavior. When we were first married, I wanted to continue my bachalor behaviors, she said "no". I wanted to but my love for her was too strong and I only wanted to please her and put aside my boyish desires.

She was god's gift to the world, she was god's gift to her family, She was god's gift to her friends and above all, she was god's gift to me.

Came up with another poem while thinking of Cathy

"God answered me"

God made a cutie
My life has changed forever.
No where have I found such beauty,
Among and between my endeavors.

I remember once   long ago
Upon a rooftop on a hill in Germany,
Barren and stilted was my soul
I prayed to God for termini.

Though an answer I did not receive,
I was left to seek an alternative.
Career and lively-hood was what I believed,
Data processing became my operative.

Then came a party with room-mate and friends,
Room-mate Chuck with Nancy and Elsey.
The four of us threw a gayla event,
It was then I met my beautiful Cathy.

But thinking back, tis was not just by chance,
It was God's way of answering me.
He moved our lives in a graceful dance,
My life with Cathy was meant to be.
