A Soldier

He rose to the occasion
When a nation called his name,

This soldier was my brother.

My brother left us that summer

Leaving all of us in pain.

Wasn’t our war.

Wasn’t our fight

I told him so, but he said

That’s not right

We are a part of the USA

We have to do it the United way.
He never questioned
He never faltered
He journeyed far from home

Leaving his young wife and

His child a lone
He never asked them, why?
He said not a word.
So young and brave my brother

Marched on, He didn't have to go
He could have stayed,
but he never questioned why
He only gave.

He rose to the occasion
When the Captain called his name,
Not once did he ever questioned
or ever faltered
Though nervous and afraid
He gave it all he had.

He served time in the army just like

Old dad.
My brother left us that warm beautiful

Sad Summer Day, Uncle Sam took him away
His mind was on the battle
Yet his heart was far away,
He could hear Mama calling him

As he flew through the air

Mama saw him get blown from the

Tank she jumped up and said my

Boys been hurt.

I wasn’t there when it happened

But my siblings was still home

They tell me a few hours later

He called on the phone.
Yes Uncle Sam took my brother

While he was yet in his youth.

To fight a war,

He was taken from his safe haven

Our mama’s home, our happy place
Where all the children in

The neighborhood came to play.

Mama never learned how to send the

Children away. See folks without

Shelter sometimes came to stay.

And now he's gone,
To another place in time,

My brother came back

But he left his mind behind.
So far from home he did roam

I wanted so bad to strike out

To Uncle Sam.

I wanted to tell him to fight his own

Wars, to leave my brother alone,

But I was but a child crying because

My big brother was leaving home.
He left that day, travel where the

Brave and gallant boys became Men

Where their youth disappear came

Back full grown, young in body

But old in soul, broken spirited

The ones that came back at all.

When I looked in his eyes I couldn’t feel

His soul.

What happened to my brother?

He left with a heart of gold.

He rose to the occasion
When the angels took his hand and

Called his name
for mama had stood praying

When she saw him that day

Flying through the air

They tell me that was the fist time

They ever heard my mama rebuked the

Devil and told him not today.

Get away get away, Lawd

Don’t let him take my son away.

He never questioned
He never faltered
He surrenders up his youth
And all he might have been.

And once his youth was gone,

They sent him home
With tears and memories
We carry on.
Never to forget what they have done,
Our hearts will not forget
our gallant brother and mama son.
Through our tears,
A nation carries on.

Strong Drink

Proverbs 31:

Give strong drink unto him
That is ready to perish
So say the word.

You should not be drinking
Strong drinks unless you are
Ready to die because it will
Kill you I tell you no lie.
If you are ready for suicide,
Then start drinking.
It will mess with your thinking
Your home and your job
It will take you from riches to rags
Have you carrying your clothes in a bag

Alcoholism is a demon spirit that
Tries to seep into your life
And it affects your children, and kills
Your wife, as it take away all of your
Means of a great life.

No man has any business drinking
There is no such thing as a social drink
Are you a sipping saint?
Or do you just straight out drink?
God doesn't get glory out of your
Drinking strong drink.

Drinking breaks your focus,
In the end it leaves you choking
Worst than when you are smoking
It causes you to loose your perception
And all connections of reality
Don't believe me,
Look around you
Do you honestly think it will miss you?

Deliverance is needed if you are involved
in any type of substance abuse, cocaine
crack, Mary Jane or even cigarettes
Some will bust your brain and drive you
Insane, while the other turn your lungs black
and you can't never get rid of that.

Are you ready to die?
What a question and why?
Straight up front I ask
Because of the bottle in your hand
Controlling you young man
Are you ready to die?
Don't tell me no lie.
Isn't it enough that you are getting high?
A double dose of anything that is not
The Holy Ghost will do you in.
All the things you are doing is causing
Your youth to end.

The strong drink won't let you think or be
That which you need to be.
Put it down, put it down
For it can only deceive you,
Now tell me are you ready to die?

"I wrote about ten of these while working with a few young people sometime ago. Since then a few have stop using. Proverbs 31:4-7 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink, lest they drink and forget what has been decreed and pervert the rights of all the afflicted. Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more Prov 23:20-24, 29 30-37 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again."

 Pop's Said! 

  

The last thing Pop’s said to me. 

Boy know that I love you and meant you no harm 

Wish you were here boy with everyone else 

Instead of locked up in that man made hell 

If you were here I’d drop all that phony pride 

I’d take you in my arms and together we would cry 

It hurts so bad to have to say good bye 

But son, my time is up and I must go home 

I apologize to you for things I done wrong 

It was never my intent to hurt you, 

Misuse you or treat you bad 

Leaving you son makes me very sad. 

I don’t want you to grieve for me, 

When I am gone, 

I am sorry I won’t be around when you come home 

And we’ll never again speak on the telephone 

So I take this time to say I love you son before I go home 

Just know the Lord has made me free 

 At last I am out of all that misery. 

 I'm following the path God laid for me. 

And up here I am cancer free 

Son, I took God’s hand when I heard him call  

I turned my back and left it all. 

 I could not stay another day  

To laugh, to love, to work or play. 

 Tasks left undone must stay that way,  

I found that peace at the close of day. 

 If my parting has left a void in your heart 

Then fill it with remembering joy that we shared 

Of times when it was just you and me 

Of friendship shared just you and I  

Remember the good times that we had 

When you was just a little boy 

I’d come get you bringing with me some sort of toy 

 And we would go 

To the park and out the door  

As you ran and laughed while my old road dog.   

And I drank a beer or two.  

Son these things I too shall miss.  

Be not burdened with times of sorrow  

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. 

 My life's been full, 

My life has been rich 

 I've savored a life so full and rich 

Filled with good friends,  

Good times and so many love ones alone 

The way. Just know son I love you 

And from you I do not desire to go away 

But to stay here is to suffer and lie in pain 

For cancer has covered me from the tip of my toes 

As it spread to my brain. 

All that’s left is a shell of my remains. 

 Perhaps my time seemed all too brief  

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. 

 Lift up your hearts, peace to thee –  

 God wanted me now; He set me free…. Good bye my son 

Until Heavens you come. 

Riding on the wings of an angel’s arms. 

Love ya 

Dad

Catharine’s friend was a pure-bred killing machine
Went to war when he was in his teens
Left Vietnam with horrible nightmares and dreams
Felt in love with his friend Catharine when she was a young thing.
He says he's waited his whole life for this,
finding somebody to love him for him
But then he up and threw it all a ways for his friend
Big George who lied one day.
He believed big George instead of what Catharine had to say.
 
Yes, Catharine met him when she was eighteen
when she was a young innocent thing.
He’d just come from the war, thought he was all
Kool and all that. 
 
He couldn’t deal with it when she rejected him
So he came back over and over again
Demanding that she see him for him
And slowly he won her heart.
 
This wonder pure bred killing machine
Was one of the most outstanding human beings
That a girl could ever meet.
As long as she listens to him, stayed at home and didn’t run the streets.
He wanted his woman house bound
He didn’t want anyone else to hang around.
While he ran on his days off work with his friends up down and across town. He was a great provider for his family. A meal ticket for sure.
But he ran around like a man that was free. 
Always seem to be looking for something, and it wasn’t at home where he had committed to be. .
 
He left me one day and married a girl name Johnette.  His second daughter’s mother. Only he didn’t tell Catharine what he had done. A month before she gave him his very first son. His brother Liston was murdered by the cops in Cincinnati, his daddy died in Alabama, his mother nursed Catharine long distances as she cried her heart out for what he had done.  Still he wouldn’t tell Catharine the truth, because he loved her and did what he felt he had to do.
 
He never stopped trying to make her understand. His version of what a man must do, when a man is a man. And so she moved on with her life. Knowing that for her there was nothing there. For with her love for him she would never be his wife.
 
 
It’s almost forty years later now and he’s lying on his death bed he'll be dead before Christmas if the doctors have their say Catharine tried so hard to get him to bow down and pray
But he told her when it’s time to go only Jesus will have
His way, so he has nothing to say.

Catharine’s lover went to war as a personality of joy
Came back a man  as he left behind the boy.
Been fighting all of his life that is since he came home
To the old U.S. of A.  Lionel didn’t know what to do with himself, and he was angry with God. His understanding of God now was not as his Daddy had taught.  The education he had he had first handedly bought.
 
In Vietnam he had gone to hell. He told his sisters and brothers don’t preach to me about hell. Been there, done that, ain’t going back no more. I have spent all my life in one stage or another.  But soon I’d get some rest when I go and meet our father, brother and mother.
 
He uses excuse like I am Lil Lionel backed up by Bolar I was born to fight, I was born a man. And no matter what‘s going on I Lil Lionel is going to take my stand.  Don’t anybody tell me what I can or can not do.  If I am not breaking the rules then you do what you do and I will do what I do.  But to my own self I am going to be true.
 
Catharine’s friend Lionel is dying now but still won’t admit to doing any wrong. As they spoke yesterday on the telephone
He said his time here on earth is gone
And so he told Catharine and their son so long
I never meant to do you any harm or wrong I just wanted to love you. Love doesn’t die girl. And I’ll love you even when I am gone.  Please forgive me for doing you so wrong?
 
It was the Wednesday the evening before Thanksgiving that he spoke to them on the phone.
Poured out his heart about things he knew he had done wrong.
All I did, I did in love boy, do you hear what I say?
I love you and your mother I have always loved you the only way I knew how.  Please forgive me if I hurt you or made you think any different then that. Love isn’t easy for a man like me to show. Hugging, a man was never in me. My daddy use to say.  But there is a lot of things like dad I did do.  Many of those things I wish I hadn’t done unto you.  But it’s to late now to make any changes in that. So accept my apology and know that for me you were a blessing and not a curse. Love you and your mother boy with all my heart.
Then he laid back in his bed and slowly continues to
Wasted away.
 
He’s been fighting since the day he and Catharine had met
But she didn't know what he was fighting for he tried to tell her it was for a worthy cause but not once did he make sense of the things he said. A man is a woman’s head these things came out of his mouth. These things Catherine also knew were true.  But the head of them both is God be it they live in the same house or not. Lionel had this thing about how a woman is to be.  But Catharine told him to go home to his wife and teach her these things and stop trying to force them on me. No cause could be so worthy as to fight with you. When you ain’t my husband and I do not belong to you. You lost your rights when you married your wife.  Now Lil Lionel get out of my life.
 
But Lil Lionel couldn’t give Catharine up.  He followed her where ever she went for almost forty years. She knew he loved her and he knew she loved him. But together they just could not be. Even when the wife he married cease to be. Catharine said unto him for us it just can’t be. For She now belonged to Jesus. And a them they’ll never be. Her life she had given unto Jesus who had come and sat her free. The life with Lil Lionel was now history.  Catharine had to leave him behind. See Lil Lionel could not commit himself to what he did not believe. And he wasn’t ready to go before the Lord on his knees. Things like giving up his beer, his alcohol and women and drugs.  Lil Lionel road dogs were all mostly thugs. Yet to Catharine he swore his undying love.  He said God knows I love you girl. But I ain’t ready to make a change.  I got to do things my way understand me Catharine I am a Man.

He’s never was into drug so this wasn’t one of his loves
But he felt into awful stuff like sex, alcohol, and cigarettes Lil Lionel loved him some beer and booze these things he loved to use.
When he woke up in the morning he couldn’t stand to be sober this is one of the main ways we knew he was hooked.
With a cigarette lingering from his lips he pushed away the Good Book.
 
If hope is a song, she still believed for him Lil Lionel never gave up hope; even though his lips said different his conversation never changed
As he laid in his bed he silently did pray. Asking “The Lord’s please come on have Your way. Let Your Will be done.  Lord this I pray.
I am tied of hurting; I am tied of all this pain.  For over forty years now I have been stricken in pain.  It’s only through your Grace Lord I am still considered sane.
I guess soon it will be all over and I will be gone. Lord my will is to see Your face for I know I am now blessed as You take me to rest.  Let my children know that I did what I thought was right.  Let them know Lord with them I did not want to fight.  I just wanted to teach them the things that were right.  I just wanted for them Lord to have a good life.
 
But as for Catharine, she prayed both night and day. A girl can hope can’t she that a miracle will take place in Lionel’s life. She was his long time friend never his wife. But in spirit she knew they was one. His heart belonged to her and her alone.  He regretted all those things that to her he had done wrong. As he confessed these things to her she had a feeling he was sick.  But she never would have believed cancer was it.
 
Lil Lionel spend his whole life fighting Invisible forces that we can’t see.
After he spend time in Vietnam his name went down in history.

How does one have faith when they know they are dying?
How does one have faith when they believe it’s their time?
How does one have faith when they say Jesus have your way?
For him faith was a crime in which he had served time for. His Faith he left in Vietnam. And his demons had come to the states. They met him morning, noon and night.
He never allowed anyone near him I hear after Catharine and he parted in seventy nine.
I don't want to die he said to her. I don’t want to leave you behind but it’s my time to go now. I guess God’s not on my side after all, so darling stop your crying.
 
Catharine tried to tell him the good news that hope never dies. But he laughed at her and smiled. Honey you just now told me some lies.
If God's on our side, then God is a joker he said as he opened his eyes. See Catherine the God you serve must be asleep on the job he told her one day. He save me from the war, then leave me to die this way.
 
They gather his children from state to state to be by his side.
All but three that is. For two he didn’t know where they might be while Lionel Junior was sitting in jail. 
Looking out his window, up in to the sky Lil. Lionel said while talking to Catharine on the telephone. I don't want to die.
I am not ready to meet that man up in the sky.

Girl for every man who wants to rule the world
there’ll be a man who just wants to be free a man who’ll
Want to live a little longer just like me.
A man that will want to live and not in so much misery.
There’s no cure for this disease that ails me. Catharine can’t you see. God didn’t hear me when I called out to him.  He just wasn’t here when I needed him.
 
But he gave you almost forty years after the war. Catharine said.
Did he Catherine, did he give that to me?
I came home in pain and since then I have lived in misery.
Shell shot you called it. All ways afraid.  All ways on my toes
Fighting to stay alive. Tell me again how blessed I am and tell me how without adding to it lies?  I left as a boy to fight this man’s war, and here they let me die.  I know they didn’t try as hard as they would have had I some cash. But it does not matter now. My life is all gone.  Maybe in the other world I will find some peace. But no longer will I have to wonder about where I’d belong. Because down here on earth day after day, night after night I have fought the evil beast.

And so, everybody's gone to Cincinnati, but Catharine and hers. The girl he made a woman of and the one that left him behind. The son that’s behind bars that he never gave his name but gave him most of his time, who loves him more then life in whom he loved without shame.
He fought Catharine and his son Lionel all his life and they never understood why. Or what he was fighting for
They’ll never tell you it was for a worthy cause No cause could be so worthy as to be left on the outside.
That Wednesday before Thanksgiving Lil Lionel said to his son Lionel and his love Catharine good bye. As he whispered in the telephone See you all in Heaven’s son know I don't want to die If God's on our side, then soon I’d find some rest
As he drifted off into that other world he sang to Catharine one more time “Lil Johnny” her favorite song. Only this time it wasn’t Jesus this is Johnny it was Jesus this is Lil Lionel as he heard the Lord say and Lil Lionel this is Jesus as He took him home.

My brother came to stay,

My brother came to stay,
but I had to turn him away
He would not put down his strong drink,
which caused Him to stink,
as he had already begun to sink,
He did not respect me for in my house
he brought strong drink
I would think my giving him a place to stay
he would do something
To help him put the strong drink away,
but he said he’d rather go away
This is a sad day that I had to send my
brother away
But in my house the drinking and drunkenness
can not stay
It is my house, Jesus house and these things
I must send away.
Drinking often goes with carnal living and is
classified as iniquity.
So I won’t take no part in it.

"Isaiah 22:13-14 says: And behold joy and gladness,
slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh,
and drinking wine: let us eat and drink;
for to morrow we shall die.
And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts,
Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till
ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts."

And now that I am filled with the Holy Ghost
I must try and win my brothers soul,
but he told me straight up Hell No.
I got my rights and so I will go.

Christians are admonished not to drink lest
a brother be caused to stumble.
"Romans 14 :21] says:
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine,
nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth,
or is offended, or is made weak."
But my brother this he can not see,
if I don’t’ start it I don’t have to finish it,
and so my brother walked out the door,
all I can do is let him go.
With out a made up mind, and a true desire to
stop I know one day my brother will drop
Christians forbidden to keep company with
drunkards. Not my words but the Lords and
who will I honor but the Father Jehovah God.
Paul brings this very clear when he placed it here.
"I Corinthians 5:11: But now I have written unto
you not to keep company, if any man that is called
a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater,
or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner;
with such an one no not to eat.:

So I opened the door and watched my brother walk
down the street.
Daily I pray the Lord his soul to keep and one day
I will look up again and my brother will be sober again,
as he ask King Jesus To come back in.

Pray that my turning him away I have not caused his to
keep in sin. He is older than me and he is after all
a grown man

I’ll never be the man you were.

 

I’ll never be the man you were. And I’ll never do the things you done. But one thing I know and that’s I am your son.
After getting off the telephone with Tamala today Dad my mind reeled into the past and the power of thoughts drifted back….of when I was but a child. The things I didn’t understand you once said I would when I become a man. Or when I become a daddy. Well Dad I am almost there. I know I’ll never know what you knew and I’ll never attempt to do the things you done, but know this Daddy I am happy that God gave you to me as my father and me to you as your son. 

Today Mama and I talked about your going to war, how you fought for your country in a humid jungle land and fought for what was true and right, and the ultimate test of man well I just sat here today and thought of how young you were when you went off to fight. I could almost see you Pop’s as you fought in the heat, afraid to sleep as you had to fight in the night, and in pouring down rain. Over the years, I have grown to understand why you treated me the way you did. And know that I thank you Dad for finally accepting me as me, accepting me as your son. I am not you Dad, there will never be another you. You are one of a kind. And God gave you to me. You were my old man and I love you and have always been proud of you. 

Even though I am incarcerated, against my will, you got to understand before God took you home. There’s so many ways' to be incarcerated and it does not have to be behind bars. You spend so many years incarcerated by an evil foe hidden in your mind. As you could not leave the war behind. It took a man to admit this Dad and I thank you for sharing it with me. It took a man to admit a lot of things you shared with me. 

I watched you fight all of your life Pop’s as you stood your ground. You never cared how big he was or how small you refused to be pushed around. So I can only imagine what it was like doing the war. And that I'll never know, but the things I learned from you taught me why you fought against your captors with the risk of being killed I am not at war for the government but I am yet fighting all the same. And not a night goes by that I don't think about what I left behind my son, and my daughter, yes all of my family and friends, I understand so much now day since I have become a man. I understand why you refused to yield even when you felt bad, you refuse to show any sigh of weakness, and some times this made me so sad. Because I knew what you was up against and it nearly drove you mad. The very freedom you fought for was now all that you did seek. Here tonight I write this piece to you as the Lord take you home. Go with him Dad don’t worry about us any more. See it’s time now Dad for you to find some peace. So close your eyes Dad as SSI said and get your much needed sleep. For we know Pop that you gave all that you had

Big Daddy

In dedication to my daddy Lionel R. Bolar

He was a big time dope dealer,
With a way out mind
Pushing hard drugs day after day
Was how he spends most of his time.
He didn’t care who he hurt or what anyone
Had to say.
Spending his bread as fast as he got paid.
More than half of it was spend on women that he laid
Always talking about what he was going to do.
But we all knew that he was through.
Big Daddy

Fully aware of the biggest arguments on his hands
Was that of the businesses of a dishonest man
It isn’t funny now that it’s over
But It was always about the money.

But the fact is, he was lonely and he was blue
He didn’t know who loved him or was true
They all declare that they did as people do
When they need you.
But he knew that most of them hated him too.
He knew those who made this type of money rarely
If ever end up with any of it
Because
They often go to jail or they are killed
Trying to make a deal or trusting someone they
Believe to be loyal, who only are after their spoil
Buying and driving expensive wheels
Knowing the cops was on him like white on rice
He foolishly deck themselves out with the sparkling ice
On his fingers, all five
Around his neck, and in his ears,
Kept the cops drawing near.
Talking about Big Daddy

Big Daddy Two

Big Daddy Two

Big Daddy was a handsome man, a well dressed man
A man most women would love to have given their hand
Those who got to know him found he wasn’t a gentleman

His big bucks went to keep up a high flying lifestyle.
He was known for many a mile of his devilish ways
And his crooky smile on every side of town
Everyone knew when Big Dad was around
From the things he did and the things he said,
So many was surprise that he wasn’t dead
They knew him from the limp when he walked
Caused by the shell in his leg, and back,
And the plate in his head
They all felt he should be dead
Because of the things that they knew he done
And the things he said
They all said the devil kept him in the game
To glorified his name

Most of his people stayed out of his way.
For they had nothing good about him to say.
His lifestyle gave him away. Wherever he went
It’s a blessing if he live another day.
Big Daddy
His money went to buy sex, drugs and alcohol.
Or to support some worthless men or women
In most cases didn’t work or had no place to stay
People that was abusive in many different ways
Not a one of them was saved
They called him Boss, as they spend his dough
But he knew the truth when his money was up they would go.
Back to the hell holes they had crawl out from.
At the end of each visit with them he would give some cash
To do with as they please.
Many as soon as they got it they would leave
But most spend it on coke, and smoke
They lived to drink and take dope.

Big Daddy Three

When the money he brought was gone.
He left the abusers standing alone
After they had done themselves wrong
Drinking, smoking, and partying he paid for it all
But he never stay around after night fall
Leaving them in halls, and allies he moved on
They was to foolish to ask him to get them a room
Instead they always ran back and forward for him to the saloon
He did not drink with them, nor did he smoke, he just laughed
At them and listen to some funny, and some cruel, ugly jokes.
Big Daddy

Well Big Daddy took sick and couldn’t get out of bed
They tell me Big Daddy was talking all out of his head
He called for some of his old pals to come help him
But not a one were to be found
Because he had no more money
They didn’t want him around.

Big Daddy got up one day and went out of town
When he got back he went back to his old hang out
And scope his old drinking and dope buddies out

They all ran up to him shaking his hand, telling him how
Good it was to see him again.
But he just smiled.
Looking from one to the other, he said not a word.
Then he saw this fellow with his head hanging down.
This was the fellow that never participated in the drinking and good times. He wanted to speak to this man to see what was on his mind. He turned to the fellow that never stood around when he was passing money out and took his hand. Brother he said. Where do you live?
And what do you do for a living?
The young man stood up, Looked Big Daddy in the eye and said

Big Daddy me and my family we live in the park. I got five children and I do day work. While my wife got a cleaning job. Sometimes I come down here when I hear you are coming, because I know you are going to give us something. I ain’t to proud to tell you that I am always glad to see you. It means me and my family gets a bed for the night and a hot meal and a bath. Why do you ask Big Daddy? What is it that you want?
Well I got a place that needs attending to. And I got no one to do it for me. The gal and the guy that I had working for me. I just fired, you see my man, when I was sick they thought I wasn’t gonna get well, they tried to steal me dry.

As Big Daddy talk tears formed him his eyes. He had to pause to keep from crying.
I couldn’t get these friends of mines to even bring me a glass of water, or a bowl of soup, after caring for them for ten years. I believe I deserve better than that. And you know my man. I have been hearing about my self for years. And I am not like that.

Yeah I sold dope, and I sold smoke, I sold alcohol and all kinds of drugs, but it’s been long time since I done those things. I gave them up when I got my dream. I met a king and he showed me how to walk, to talk and to treat others. He showed me how we all came from the same mother. And he told me to go out in to the highway and the byways and share what I have. He told me to feed his people and love them. But I didn’t know anything about love. I only thought I did. But I knew where there were people who were poor, and needy. But most of these people were greedy. I gave them just as I gave you and not one of them came when I was down and out. Not one of them called to see how I was doing not one

But one of the relatives of one of them did come. Do you know who that one was my man? Would you like to know who that one was?
Yes Sir I would love to know who that one was. It was your wife and son. I was in the park when I took sick. This young man and his mother walked up to me and asked was I okay and was there anything they could do. I asked for come water, and to go to the hospital but I didn’t want to go alone, and they got me that cup of water and drove me in my car to that hospital. I offered them some money for their services but you know son they wouldn’t take a penny. Since then I have been coming down here looking for that woman and her son. Somebody told me the other day it was your wife and yours son. Well I want to shake your hand and do you and myself a favor now. I need someone honest to work for me, would you be interested in working as a janitor in my building and your son as a doorman, and your wife as a housekeeper or cook?
The man started to cry as the people stood around. Thank you Jesus, Thank you Father for answering my prayers. The man cried out, without shame I believe you and your family know my Father. Oh the man said. What is your father’s name? His name is Jehovah God.
He forgave me a long time ago, but the people never did. Are your family near he asked the man? Yes the man said. Here is my card, my address, and some money for you and your family to take a cab..
I will meet you three there when you call me.
Big Daddy
Well Big Daddy never went back down to that side of town,
I hear Big Daddy stop hanging around. Instead he opened a shelter for the homeless and the poor. His doors are always open.
For Jesus never sleeps. Big Daddy sees Jesus in all the people he meets.
Welcome To Jesus House the sign outside read
Come rest, eat and wash your soul and feet.
As we tell you about a Man we all need to meet.
Signed Big Daddy

Too long a time!
Yet in the dawn of days of the ironborn
His cousin bowed his head,
tears running down his cheeks
long and dark.
A yellow great cloak was plastered to his shoulders
sodden and filthy
This is what has come
