I ACHE BECAUSE OF ENDLESS QUESTIONS WHY, I LONG TO BE TOUCHED BY YOU

our worst ugliness

was our blindness

to our own beauty

and our fear

more than death

was rejection

from each other.

from the book to believe in man by Joseph Pintauro

Longing to Touch

Suspended in time and in space

I yearn to feel more of something,

I know not of

I ache because of endless questions . . .whys

I long to touch

and

to be touched

by you.

Truth versus Lies

I stand tall in my personal truth

Truths live in the light

Lies live in the dark

I find my integrity only when living in my truth.

And often feel my truth must be out loud.

It is my duty

to be the truths that I want to see in others.

Strength can’t be borrowed,

It can only be summoned up.

What is truth without courage?

I love standing tall.

With assurance I stand tall.

For Dad

I love you now and until forever ends

Dad and my son on Dad's self-made lake in Indiana

For my son

Destiny brought us together

Nothing will tear us apart

I carry your heart in my heart
