Five Years Gone By

·

Just remembering my old man.
He left this world five years ago today.

With all the memories I have of him,
both good and bad,
I would like to focus more on the good ones.

I’ll be honest with you,
Dad could’ve been a politician.
Everybody loves to hear him speak.

His voice booms through the air
always making his point across.

Even his laugh resonates and echoes
throughout the house.

Especially when he tells his jokes.
His cheesy jokes that he tells us repeatedly.

Allow me to share another one of those to you.
I actually just remembered this one just now.

Dad has always been very proud of us kids.
Especially when he sees our achievements.
Of course as a parent, he wanted to claim that our abilities came from him.
But as the gentleman that he is,
he wouldn’t want to sound too full of himself.

So he would say,
“For sure, you got your smarts from your Mother.”

And someone else would answer him back,
“Are you sure, Dad? Not from you?”

(He always waits for that one.)

Then he replies,
“No. Not from me.
Because if it was from me,
you would be a Genius!”

It has been five years, Dad.
I miss our talks.

I wish you had the chance to meet your Grand-kid.

Where did these kids come from?

If you have 5 minutes.
Just five minutes to listen to a very well written song.
I haven’t heard a song that moved me in a while
and this one definitely did.

It’s from that British show X-Factor,
the girl’s name is Lucy Spraggan.
She did this very brilliantly.

Check it out and listen.

If these are the new kids coming out with song writing talents,
then there may be hope, people.

There may be hope.

Thank you.

To all those who sent messages
to greet my son on his birthday.
Even my family and friends who haven’t
even met him, sent their best wishes.

And also for the many likes on my post,
my sincerest thanks to you all.

“11” Today

·

Just a simple shout out to my little spawn,
who is not so little anymore.
Born on Canada Thanksgiving day
11 years ago today.

Happy Birthday, Son.
I will still kill for you.
Except puppies.
I like puppies.

Or maybe the cat.
If she doesn’t bug me tonight.

Much love from your old man.

Dry spell

·

I have been listening to a wide variety of music genre.
Things have been very different for a while now
and I am trying to find my musical self.

I have been playing like I always do,
but like I said,
Music is coming out,
but it’s not me.

I usually find myself by going back to my roots.
Worship and old folk songs.
Even old ballads.

But there’s just too much anger.
Too many questions.
And that’s where I am at right now.
We’ll see how it goes.

For those select few,
I see you coming back and checking out my site.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you.

Enjoy your weekend.
