Darkest Hour

I wasn’t going to post today. But when is a better time to reflect on sin and grace, life and death?

Blessed Good Friday.

Happy Birthday

Make a wish.
Please accept my apologies, I wonder what would have been.
Would you have been a little angel or an angel of sin?
Tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys.
Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes.
I paid for the murder before they determined the sex,
choosing our life over your life meant your death.
And you never got a chance to even open your eyes,
sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you fought for your life.
Would you have been a little genius? In love with math?
Would you have played in your school clothes and made me mad?
Would you have been a little rapper like your poppa The Piper?
Would you have made me quit smoking by finding one of my lighters?
I wonder about your skin tone and shape of your nose,
and the way you would’ve laughed and talked fast or slow.
I think about it every year, so I picked up a pen.
Happy birthday, I love you whoever you would’ve been.

Happy Birthday
What I thought was a dream
Make a wish
Was as real as it seemed
I made a mistake

(Flipsyde)
I got a million excuses, as to why you died.
And other people got their own reasons for homicide.
Who’s to say it would’ve worked and who’s to say I wouldn’t have
I was young and struggling, but old enough to be a dad.
The fear of being my father has never disappeared,
I ponder it frequently while I’m sippin’ on my beer.
My vision of a family was artificial and fake
so when it came time to create, I made a mistake.
But now you got a little brother, maybe it’s really you.
Maybe you really forgave us knowing we were confused.
Maybe, every time that he smiles it’s you proudly
knowing that your father’s doing the right thing now.
I’ll never tell a woman what to do with her body,
but if she don’t love children, then we can’t party.
I think about it every year, so I picked up a pen.
Happy birthday, I love you whoever you would’ve been.
Happy birthday

(t.A.T.u.)
Happy Birthday
What I thought was a dream
Make a wish
Was as real as it seemed
I made a mistake

(Flipsyde)
And from the Heavens to the womb to the Heavens again.
From the ending to the ending, never got to begin.
Maybe one day we can meet face to face,
in a place without time and space.
Happy birthday.

(t.A.T.u.)
Happy Birthday
What I thought was a dream
Make a wish
Was as real as it seemed
I made a mistake

    Lord Jesus Christ, who didst stretch out thine arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of thy saving embrace. So clothe us in thy Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know thee, to the knowledge and love of thee; for the honor of thy name. Amen.

    I commented in “Bumper Talk” and now it’s closed…? So I don’t even have a chance to reply the thread because…Why? Because someone brought up another unpleasant topic?

    Some things never change, I guess.

    “…but rules taught by men.”

    I am sorry that the forum was spoiled by someone else. We will not have our forum polluted like that, not on easter. It has nothing to do with “rules taught by men” and that as the case may be, we still welcome your participation on this blog.

    Have a blessed Easter, TNE. You remain in our prayers, I hope we remain in yours.

    I don’t want your prayers. I don’t. And as much as I wish I could explain it, I know you would NEVER understand why.

    It sounds like there is still a great deal of pain there.

    As Catholics, we pray daily for the entire world - it isn’t something we can stop. 1000s of Masses are happening all over the world every hour, our prayers include prayers for the salvation of the whole world and for all who suffer.

    Never refuse prayers - to ask Catholics not to pray is like trying to stop the tide. It is just what we do.

    I hope you will pray for us.
