Hi Ken
On the first day, God created light...
S/He must be a zuikoholic...
Me, I'm having a problem. I'm discovering heavy...
Lovely Poetry.

*[OM] Do You Remember?..* saying
> Do you remember that special moment when you discovered light?
> Do you remember that time when a shadow became the most special thing in
> sight?
> When time stood still while you gazed at a sunset, a moonrise, a cloud in
> the sky?
> Birds in the air, children playing, a holiday surprise?
> Birth pains, the joy on a mother's face
> Moments like these will never erase.
>
> These are the memories firmly planted in my mind,
> With reminders of times spent with loved ones near,
> Better times than these, one cannot find.
> Lovers wispering in each others ear.
>
> Special moments are not sought,
> They cannot be furnished or bought,
> A household of love and attitudes of joy,
> Are they a fluke or some Hallmark ploy?
>
> I say "No" to the skeptics and loners,
> Those who try to find happiness in a bottle will remain,
> Fearful, joyless, and empty to the end,
> Seeking and never finding,
> Reasons for anger are impossible to defend.
>
> These times of the holidays are upon us with great flair,
> But the disaster in Caracus, Earthquakes far and near,
> Shed sadness, turmult, and great dispair,
> Will the victims and families ever experience anything but fear?
>
> We say our prayers for the homeless and displaced,
> Those who have lost loved ones through the year,
> Memories of these we cannot misplace,
> We can only shed a tear.
>
> Remember when our lives were much more simple,
> Without travel to far away places,
> To grow up in your home town, surrounded by friends and family,
> Where you knew everybody's faces?
>
> As we gather with family all around,
> Taking pictures, video and an extra helping of potatoes,
> Give a hug, a kiss and a pat on the back,
> Watch your step, you got Zuikos, the kids got Legos,
>
> Do you remember that special moment when you discovered light?
> Moments like these will never erase.
