~*~ Every Step I Take ~*~ (In Honor of Adam Boehling)

 

 

White candles lit to celebrate a Gift
taken to the heavens,
Priceless Gem,  Precious Adam~

I  bring forth to you Gary,
Friend and fellow Poet,  I carry
in open palms
this 23rd psalm~
to give to you from this vibrant energy…
that loves you too~




~*~

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

~*~

My words wait on the side as one you cherish
does not hide, but comes through
to speak volumes, his words are heard
on wings of a dove,  this Sacred bird.



Know you are never alone Gary, he walks
with you, beside you and his home in your Heart~
Adam holds your image in his hands,  cupped
and protected against harm by anyone.
You are his number One!

Strength resides within your core
to carry on~
Adam’s arm is around your shoulders, hugging
I hear: “Remember John Walsh
His son~
Another Adam, we met dad~
He is a cool kid…”

His father misses him to this day…
Pain still penetrates, eyes still swell~
The memories, the loss just doesn't go away
but know you are not alone,
Adam’s with you on the front porch Gary~
W
atching the moon dance with the stars
and also when the sun smiles~
Love and Light I pray:

Tears fall and merge into a waterfall to cleanse
sadness downstream and instill sense of Peace
each day you wake and then slumber~
The Love inside releases…
He catches and takes you with him,


~*~

“I Love you Pops, you know I am with you.
I touch your shoulders and shake you hard,
wake you in the morning,  hungry~
eggs~ bacon…just kidding…
I’m still living Pops,  you see me
I know you do.
Don’t pretend like you don’t.
Do I need to say Boo-
Jump out of the closet
I’ll try that sometime,
but don’t want to give you a heart attack…

We ride our hogs together dad,




Oh man, I'm in hog heaven (laughs)

You always my Pops~
You not an old man yet…
You still got it!!

Tell Lori Hi for me~
(sounds like Lori name)
miss my little bro…

You my best Friend always~
Always dad…and never say never…
-   and I just said it…-

I’m with you forever~
You stuck with me now (laughs)

Thought of this when you said my name
Dad, please don’t blame
for we are the same
~except I am better looking~
( see I can be a Poet like you)

I am your best Friend, not was…
You see me dad, I’m there~

(two fingers together to his lips)
blow a kiss~
I Love You Pops!!!
Always….
Remember our song Pops”~ 




[ Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
Ill be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
Ill be missing you
]

    This work is exceptional. It shares with us the love you have for Gary and Adam. I know Gary needed this and is probably at a loss of words from your generosity. I love that you sent the Prayer that helps us through all the things that are sometimes too big for us to handle. This is so angelic dear heart. You are surely an angel on Earth to deliver this much love. Beautiful! I went to the YouTube video and with the week I've just let pass, it made me tear up. Thank you for filling me with intense emotions.

    I LOVE YOU ♥

    Well done on the gold trophy!
    This was a wonderful one to read, it was a beautiful dedicated piece
    That was perfect in form and beautiful in body

    It's strange, yesterday was the anniversary of my aunty's sons death
    So this was a good one to read
    To think it through and get to the bottom of this prayer
    I actually cried
    But the hopeful note just lifted my heart

    The range of emotions just amazed me

    Well done my friend, wonderful work

    Much love and light

    Oh babe angel, this is so heartfelt.
    You have my favourite psalm there, and although I'm not so religious (not anymore) I still find great comfort when I think of God.
    This is indeed a tear producer poem.
