[hometext] => Dedicated to my friend Jake...the reference to the wood tick in this poem is when he was bitten by one, and nearly lost his life to lyme disease many years back. He has our prayers...
[bodytext] => ~~*~~ “The Hummer” My friend’s not all that well tonight Still he’s not one to give up the fight Through all the years he stood like a rock He’ll walk the walk, when he talks the talk He’d have you think that he’s so tough And that too much is not enough But there’s a side of him we know He’s tried his best to not let show Compared to most he’s a giant of a man But there’s one thing even he understands Perhaps you too remember the time A wood tick knocked him on his behind But tonight, it’s about the words he said And how those words settled in my head He said to me, that they needed him And to this illness he would not give in Now they also echoed within my heart And I fought, to not let my tears start How could I allow this man to learn That I held within, this deep concern It’s much for his family, which he does care This giant, of a teddy bear Though it’s tough as nails that he’ll pretend He’s a slipper full of (jello?) when it comes to them And for your question, you seek an answer It’s yes; my friend’s contracted cancer But he has such this will to live And an attitude that’s more than positive He’s held this special frame of mind From the beginning, and through this stretch of time What we would consider a real bummer You’ll not hear it once, from “the hummer” ~~*~~ 2008-07-14 [comments] => 4 [counter] => 247 [topic] => 55 [informant] => ZiggyB [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
