  This Thing That Was My Mother

  by TimeBandit in

  this thing that was my mother.

  this thing that was my mother, so withered and blackened now,.

  was once so kind and loving, but things have changed somehow.. remember when you'd hold me, and soothe my childhood fears?.

  This is my first poem. I wrote it tonight. My dad was really good at it. I've never really thought about writing like this, but I've seen some excellent poetry being posted lately and wondered if I should give it a try. Sorry for the sad tone but It made me feel better to get it out like this. I guess you could chock this poem up to being part of my recovery.

  Now I need to come up with something happier to write about. We'll see.

  Thanks for looking,

  This Thing That Was My Mother
  

  This thing that was my mother, so withered and blackened now,
  

  was once so kind and loving, but things have changed somehow.

  Remember when you'd hold me, and soothe my childhood fears?

  You'd help me with my homework, and wipe away my tears...

  You loved and fed and nurtured, with fierce maternal protection.

  I always felt the warmth of your enormous motherly affection.

  I thought it would last forever, but your feelings took a turn,

  Now you say I'm dead, because of things I've learned.

  You threw away that love you had, you tossed me in the trash,

  and now where your heart once was there is an empty gash...

  From inside my trashcan, I feel my wounds and mourn.

  All your love and goodness, replaced with hate and scorn.

  It hurt to lose you mother, you meant so much to me.

  I have to let you go now, I'm healing and I'm free...

  

  Goodbye Mom.

  Besides Beards . . .

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  beards have been talked about a lot, especially with the recent wt article, but what about other types of non-mustache facial hair, like goatees chinbeards and soul patches?.

  in my own experience i've seen a white young man with big handlebars and a soul patch run mikes, do literature and give talks not too long ago.

  i saw a black older man with a sizeable soul patch as the focus of one shot in a jw.org video about an annual meeting a few years ago.

  I wonder why there is a slot on that JW Match form that tells whether or not he is a smoker? I thought it would be a given, considering it's a dating site for JWs.

  i am going home, yet not without sorrow;.

  Speaking of facial hair...

  "You men who long for love,

  you mustn't all despair,

  There's a secret you should know,
  to capture the hearts of the fair.
  
  You may not have the looks.
  You may not have the dash.
  But to win yourself a girl,
  If you only got a mustache,
  a mustache, a mustache
  if you only got a mustache.
  
  You may be common folk,
  without a hint of pride.
  But you needin' to be a king,
  to make any maiden a bride.
  
  You may not have the name,
  You may not have the cash,
  But you'll make that girl your own.
  If you only got a mustache,
  a mustache, a mustache,
  If you only got a mustache.
  
  You may be big and fat or uglier than seen,
  all the ladies shut you out, you wonderin'
  how to get in, well here is my advice
  for how to make a splash,
  You can have your pick of girls
  
  If you only got a mustache, a mustache, a mustache,
  if you only got a mustache, a mustache, a mustache, a mustache, big mustache , thick mustache
  My mustache, your mustache, say the word, the word
  Mustache: A mustache, a mustache.
  Now we both have said mustache,
  a mustache, a mustache.
  If you only got a mustache."

  good morning everyone.

  well, just as our family was finally all out of the org., getting back to being the family we once were, one of my family members recently went back in.

  i won't give many details that will give away my identity.

  Hey BeautifulMind. My condolences on the situation. It must hurt. It just goes to show the family member's character is weak. Wishy washy.
