I still think of you every day.
I remember the day you went away.
I was a child, not yet seven.
When you made your trip up to heaven.
--
So many things we had planned.
At first, I didn't understand.
Why did you have to leave?
You left me here to grieve.
--
I found out you had no choice.
I miss the sound of your voice.
Mom and I, we somehow get along.
She cries at night but stays strong.
--
It has been now almost ten years.
We've learned to live with our fears.
On Earth we said our final good-bye.
We'll say hello again in the sky.

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
