Pearl

One Day you'll lift me like a Breath of Air 

Just to put me back in my Chair

You'll run your Hands o'er my Paper Skin

As I Hold my Breath to keep the Pain Within


This is a Precious and Fragile World

And you're my Angel, my Little Pearl

As my Light goes out, you'll see the World

As a Scary Place, Your life Unfurled


You'll Shed your Tears as they Lay me Down

So far Under that Cold, Damp Ground

But don't you Cry as you Think of me

That's just my Vessel, not Where I'll be


I'll Wait for you in Paradise

And very soon you'll Realize

That I'm not Gone, I'm still with you

I just went to Prepare our Room


You are my Love Forevermore

From this Earth to the Celestial Shore

So, When you're Ready just Take my Hand

Let me Walk you to the Promised Land


You'll need no Lamp to Light our Way

His Presence makes it Bright as Day

Dry your Tears now Little Girl

I'll be Waiting -   Little Pearl

Soldier Blue

Sunlight fades to blackened sky As full moon rises high The Devil walks the streets alone Wolves bay a howling cry When winter night turns frigid And red hot glows the flue The wraith hides in the darkness In fear of Soldier Blue The Velcro straps secure his vest His badge is shined and bright Weapon charged and holstered down He's readied for the fight He softly opens up the door Where children sleep in bliss Cheek to cheek whispers his prayer And seals it with a kiss In the blackness of the winter night Good men are hard to find Comes one who lights the bloody path And toes the Thin Blue Line Fear not the one who guards your door He guards it just for you But if its evil you intend You'll soon meet Soldier Blue Copyright 2015 J.W.

Forgiveness

On bended knee I seek you My father whom I trust I feel your disappointment My pain and shame too much Too much for whom a voice replies You forget now where you tread When first you called upon my name My hand was on your head I cast your sins from east to west I forgive you now my son Your price was paid upon a cross Your soul at stake was won What's past is past I heard him speak Now go and sin no more Find a wife that loves me too And watch my blessings pour I'll teach her all about you What comforts you in pain And how you love to take a walk In the summer evening rain The man in you will quickly be The sunshine in her life She'll have your love the rest of days And be your faithful wife She'll have to learn how to forgive For you're a complex man But if she does her life will be Amazing through my plan So too it's you that now must learn To trust me in the rain For when you walk I walk with you That's where I heal ...

Chapter 3 - Shiver Me Timbers to a Watery Grave

Chapter 3 Shiver Me Timbers to a Watery Grave      I had never seen it so cold before. Even winter survival in the Army wasn't this cold. It was about 18 degrees and the wind whipped briskly across the four miles of the water of the James and slammed ashore, literally taking away your breath. At least I had the option of a warm police car most of the time. I had my long johns, scarf, and jacket on but that was barely enough just to keep the shakes at bay. My gloves weren't the best. They worked for the short term, but if I needed to get to my weapon for any reason I had to cast them off. Forget about working the police radio, or anything with small buttons for that matter. I don't even know what was available back in those days, but I'm sure I didn't have the money for it anyway, and the department wasn't going to buy it for us; just as well.           It was after midnight and I was patroling in the dimly lit i...
