I like my coffee black
My life is simple like that
No addons or frills
Minimal to the max
It keeps me relaxed

Some prefer hot and sweet
Others prefer hot and creamy
Yesterday’s choices were mine
Choices I chose to decline

Sometimes for an additional rush
Add an extra touch
When things get a little slow
A shot of expresso is the way to go

After a fine dining meal
When coffee is served at the table
Many select what they like or feel
You’ll know for sure I’ll order a
coffee liqueur

So, I started drinking black coffee”

Just tell me the truth
Don’t lie and pretend
Don’t tell me you swear
When you don’t even care
Wisdom comes with age
I’ve turned its pages
If you want me to return
Lesson learned
Be true to yourself
That’s what matters
Take it to heart
Before your life shatters
Lies only destroy
Leaving only a decoy

“Truth may hurt for a little while,
but a lie hurts forever”

Never lonely never lonesome never in a bad mood
Thanks to my solitude
A time to reflect on who I am
A time to know myself
A time to restore myself
A time for independence of thought
From the life I have fought
The older I get I refuse to regret
Solitude is medicine for the old
No prescription necessary I’ve been told
************************************
“Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone,
and solitude expresses the glory of being alone”
Paul Tillich

Told today my brother passed away
I will never know why or the reason God took you as he did.
We mortals have to answer to God.
Some day we will all wear immortality like you.
You were all alone with no time to say goodby
What is it like to leave reality?
Leaving those you love taking only your memories
Leaving no time for our goodbyes
Only God knows our appointed time
But he tells us to be prepared
I will miss you brother and cherish
the memories we shared for 80 years

“A good name is better than precious ointment
And the day of death (better) than
The day of birth” Ecclesiastes 7:1
Love you brother
Say hello to the family

Why do you want to change my style?

Is the way I dress does not meet your test?
Is the way I pronounce my words a little absorb?
Is the way I dance leave something to chance?
Is it my hair that make people stare?
Does my singing voice leave you no choice?
Or does my swagger cause you to stagger?

Yet that’s my style unique to me
You have the right to disagree
However!
Do not judge my character
For
Inner character is more important
Then outward appearance
****************************************
“Do not judge by appearance
But judge fairly and righteously” Jn 7:24

David slew the giant with a slingshot and stone saving the Israelites from the Philistines

Who or what is your Goliath today?
Who or what Goliath in your life do you need to put to rest?

Is it the toxic relationship you find yourself in causing you to sin?
Or those you have chosen to influence your life
Leaving you nothing but strife?
Or the substance you chose to blow up your nose?
Or the smoke you take as soon as you awake?
Or the drink you need to help you succeed?
Or the web site you hide from sight?
Whatever Goliath you face in your life
You have to erase

David took a stance against a stronger enemy than you will ever face
And was victorious
It may not be easy nothing is
Until you place your trust and faith
In the right place
