the Nickster Poems

I was told I resembled you-your name was on the tip of their tongue
I have tried to forget you the way you have forgotten me, but I can't
I wonder WHY
Why does every TV show remind me of you
...

I love you because you are you
I love you because you see in me what I do not see: my strong & weak points
I love you because you never failed to be around
even when I overlook-sometimes forget-you
...

To my child of many years, I wish to speak of your history...
I was there when you were born & and was the first to call you son
See, it was during conception when I dubbed you Anointed One
The years have gone by and you seem to forget me
...

God, is it I who can by your might
lead, strengthen and guide by walking in you Light
Can I see and explain the things of you
Do I have the humility to make it through
...

What if I told you: You mean the world to me
What if I told you: You make me want to be a better person even though I thought I was pretty good already
What if I told you: You mean more to me than drumming
What if I told you: Even my worst day becomes a great day after talking to you
...

If I followed my heart-I would be where you are
If I followed my heart-I would start your day with a 'Good Morning, Beautiful' text instead of the normal 'Good Morning, Sunshine' one
If I followed my heart-I would call you just to hear your sweet sounding voice
If I followed my heart-I would dance with you often
...

They used to be good friends while in fair weather
But after 'the Storm', no longer together
He said, 'Don't bother me 'cause I can't be the One'
Instant parenthood awaits' a night of fun
...

I thought about the things I've done-
How had I benefitted from their outcome?
I remembered doing some things for good reasons
While other things engulfed me for a season
...

Looking back on yesterday, I see some things that need to change
In my life of twenty-one years, there were times of quiet tears
For experiences that should not have been-I wish to God that He would send
An angel of amazing power who could wash away the hours
...

I remember when first we met
two youngsters in teen years
We got along because we had to
but church end began the jeers.
