It was one of those days that nothing seemed to be going right.
My mind filled with racing thoughts
going different ways
Questions, questions with seemly no answers
as I pushed through the crowd
of wherever I was going.
Suddenly in my own world
I looked up
and there you were
passing me ever so quickly.
The smile that you gave me took my breath away.
A stranger’s smile in a maddening world.
There was such kindness in that smile of yours.
The warmest of feelings overcame me.
Peace and Joy was brought to my racing heart.
Long after you were gone
I tried to remember
what you looked like.
Were your eyes Blue or Brown?
All that remained in my mind’s eye
was the memory of that very special and endearing smile.
A smile that brought a smile to my own lips.
With a nod of my head
I gave thanks and appreciation
for this gift from a stranger.
Long after this time
a strange thought came to my mind.
Could angels be walking this earth
to remind each of us
that love can be
the gift of the day?

First I wish to apologise to my WordPress followers who seem to enjoy my poetry. I know lately my Commentary posts may seem excessive, but necessary to assist in a “wake-up call” to my fellow neighbors and followers on WordPress.
It is my personal opinion that we are now in the “Darkest of Times in the History of the United States.” As a nation, we are being conquered from within by President Obama and his Democratic administration. The threat has gone beyond 9/11 and its terrorist threat to our county. A threat that has formulation by foreign interests in destroying our way of life and splitting the assets of the middle class to a now lower class of slaves that eventually will serve the Reign of Obama, or what will be the foundation of our government after the term expiration of President Obama.
My theory regarding the NSA is not from a factual source, but from my own knowledge base from my youth. It is called putting “Two and Two together.” As a young man of seventeen in his first year of a four-year enlistment in the Air Force, one of my first college courses thru the American University, dealt with extensive study of the Communist Party for a term paper. I actually took a week of leave time to complete the project. One of my main sources of about eleven books that I researched and read on Communism was J. Edgar Hoover’s book titled, “Master of Deceit.”
The main premise of Hoover’s book that it was discovered then by the FBI that the Communist Party of Russia had thousands of cells across America when their agents had daily assignments to hand-write letters to various policy makers and congress personnel affecting their votes. Their goal was to form a census of what seem “Public Opinion” in order to further the ultimate aims of the Communist Party in their ultimate aim over possibly dozens of years, take over of America internally, without having to even “Fire a Shot.”
What I observed is that the Obama administration has used the same methods over the last five years in their use of NSA in not only listening but also actually having their personnel posting comments across the internet supporting Obama and his administration. As one takes a closer look at these postings and the attacks by these posters against conservative Republicans, one can easily see a pattern forming in this planned media control actually in place.
So what is the solution to this threat to our Nation? We as loving middle class members and citizens of the United States need to move forward with courage and overcome our own fears of retribution by the Obama administration and let our voice speak out as one, on-line posters demanding the removal of Obama as our President and voting out the entire Democratic Party. To my way of thinking, second best of the Republican Party then no Democracy at all! We must continue to have our voices heard in the internet which was once our pen and ignore the paid character attack Goon Division of the NSA and their attacks against us.

Have we become a nation of “Step-Down” citizen servers, rather than citizens willing to “Step-Up” and serve our Nation? We are no longer safe as a nation because individually we are saying, “Let the other guy or gal do it.” As we look about us after five years under President Obama and his Henchmen, we now can see what that attitude has created within the very structure of our Nation, a Nation quickly falling to becoming a Third World Power.
In five years under President Obama and the Democratic party, we have seen an administration that has sold out to the underworld in order to gather votes. We have seen an Attorney General duplicate the attitude of President Obama in an attitude of a Dictator rather than a President. We have seen our tax dollars furnish the Cartel fully automatic guns in order to gather huge sums of unaccounted for cash to further the purposes of re-electing Democratic candidates.
We have seen over 68,000 criminal illegals released to our city streets across the country; all for the purpose of buying more Mexican votes for the Democratic Party. We have seen the greatest number of lies and decent come from President Obama in the last five years, destroying our economy, destroying our health care system, using Federal troops against lawful demonstrations, and over the last year a rash of unexplained killing shootings of innocent victims.
It this a prelude of things to come? We as a “Republican” Nation have allowed the Liberal Democratic party do this to our country, by our lack of the real motives of candidates in local city elections and our lack of passionate participation in national elections with our time and money. We are now at the edge of a cliff into the darkness of a country turning from a “Republic” to a dictatorial government. What will you do today, as a “Republican” to “Step-Up?”

There is a battle for the mind and control of Texas. There is no compromises in this war that President Obama and his Henchmen have planned for Texas. In any election in the State of Texas, voting for a registered Democratic in a local, regional, and state-wise election enables the thieves and crooks power in their desire to take over our state.
Texas represents the “Last Frontier” for the United States. Within its borders, lies unlimited opportunity for growing businesses to Texas. Texas is looked upon as the state, the cartel, the underworld, the corrupt politicians of Washington wish to conquer as the Virginal Bride of our country….Texas….unspoiled and beautiful.
Do not be mislead by the snake words of liberals, they are nothing more than Democrat’s in the clothing of sheep skins upon the disguises of hungry wolves. Avoid like the plague those who claim to “vote for the best candidate” and claim no party affiliation. They are decoys of the Democratic party.
In this coming May 2014 in local elections in our communities and this coming November, in State and National elections, let us clean house of all the Democrats at all local levels in government, as well as the national scene. It is the only hope left, that we a “Free Americans” have in saving our country from the likes of Obama and his planned destruction of our country over the next three years.

With the passing of time
I have come to realize that there are truly
spaces that are never filled
by the loss of friends who were very personal
to my mind and heart.
Through the years
do the memories of Cliff and Tom
constantly come to my mind.
Never are they dead in my heart.
I see each of them
special in their concern for me
as the friends they were to me
and yes the love they rendered to me.
Have they been replaced in the void left by their absence?
No one has accomplished that.
Cliff was the short, large man from the deep South
always with a tale of lesson and advice not wanted
but when given
seemed well placed.
He spoke of home and craw-fish
his Mother and his victories in life
never of his losses.
You knew he was special
a special person to know.
The same stories he related never got old
just deeper in meaning.
The straight-laced
IBM type of guy was Tom.
He seemed to have found victories too early in his life
burning, dying as a shooting star.
An anger was present about him that could never be explained.
Tom loved a good meal and good drinks.
Save the waiter or waitress who spoke too much while serving!
He was there to savor the moment
should it be his last.
As Tom’s life was coming to an end
he maintained his pride to the last minute in a VA hospital
wearing a blue blazer that no longer fit;
no one cared about his past.
I miss Tom’s advice to me,
his laughter at my watch
that he thought was such a great sales job
because I had to push a button
to tell time.
His loud laughter rang in the night
raising high his special drink
to wish me and all
the best of life.
I miss both of these men.
They were the special friends of a lifetime
never to be replaced.
They are in my heart each day
with the warmest of love to my dearest friends
Cliff and Tom.
Whenever you both may be
in the great wonder of it all
I am one person
who misses you both
oh……….. ever so much.

I will never be far away
no matter where you are.
My heart will always be with you.
Never will you have to seek
to find me
for I will always be
as close as your heart.
There is a special place
for you and me
a place that will never go away.
A place where each day is made for you and me.
A place where each day becomes an eternal string of pearls
as we love and laugh through each setting sun.
Rising together each morning
with a song upon our lips
singing of our love for each other.
Through this eternity
and all others
to follow.
