30 Day Letter Writing Challenge; Letter 4 – Sibling
So now is the time
for my brother Hugh
That in the family
is known as hubedoo
It truly is a blessings
that we still have you
After everything last year that
you had to go through
In that short time ago
you were pronounced to die
And it was on God
that we did rely
When the family did
our prayers to heaven cry
To please delay you from
having to say goodbye
Just thinking of it and
how the doctors now say
That only by a miracle
is there any way
You are here in
such good health today
And it’s looking like
you’re here to stay
Declaring that I love you
would be putting it mild
You’ll always be “big brother”
to this younger child
As every little girl knows
our brothers stand apart
And my dearest Hugh
you’re special to my heart

The Three Pigs Merry
(image source: google.oom/images)
The three pigs merry
as any pigs could be
Set out one day
their family to see
Along the way together
they all sang happily
While anxious to visit
their “grammy and pappy”
Of the wolf ever watchful
were those merry three
Who chased their cousins
around without having mercy
Blowing down their houses
in a huffing spree
Before those little pigs
could ever get free
But these three siblings
had refused to be
Afraid of a wolf
when smaller was he
For these particular pigs
were hogs you see
And much larger than
their cousins by three
The big bad wolf
I think you’d agree
To attack them would
just be plum crazy!

I Have A Question, What Do You Think?
(image source: google.com/images)
I wondered what you would think of this situation and what my first reaction was, right or wrong?
A local young man in his mid-twenties was reported to be a “very nice guy” by all of his neighbors. You know, the kind who would give you the shirt off of his back. And that’s what got him killed.
(We will call him Jim, real name withheld in respect for his loved ones.)
Jim met a young lady who was “reportedly” going through rehab and had no place to stay. In his generosity, he allowed her to come and live at his house.
After a short period of time, this woman brought two other “friends” needing help into Jim’s house.
Once these two men got their hooks into this woman, Jim told her they had to get out. They refused to leave his house. A couple of altercations broke out and the police were called repeatedly.
They told the men to leave, which they did for about a minute and then came right back.
Subsequently, these three people took this poor young man, divorced father of two small boys and beat him severely with ball bats, and hand tools. Then they took him out in the country (not far from where I live at all) and continued to beat him to death, at some point using a pick axe on him!! Then they tried to bury him in a ditch but didn’t do a very good job of it because he was discovered a few days later.
These three people were found within a week and arrested for his murder. A short time later, it was discovered that the suspected leader of the assault had just been released from prison a year earlier than he should have been due to a “technical” error on the part of the prison.
Of course, the family is suing the prison for wrongful death resulting from their error. Which I think is the right thing to do. I do not advocate lawsuits in the general but I do when it is something of this magnitude and there’s no question of who is at fault.
Now, here is where my question comes in. The noon news report was on while I was typing my last poem and I heard something that made me jump up and go see what they were talking about.
This “ringleader” died last night in prison. It was reported that he was found in his cell and taken to the hospital with a collapsed lung and pronounced dead on arrival. My first reaction was “yeah, you got what you deserved didn’t you?!” Then I started to feel guilty that I had said that.
Mark called me not long after that and I told him about the news and he said that he had seen that report before he left for work this morning. Then he said, “yeah, he got what he deserved! Somebody in prison collapsed his lung for him, you can bet on it!!”
That got me to thinking, is that the Christian way for us to think? I know it’s only human to do so but should we be above that? Or, was that God exacting his judgement on this man for this heinous act that they committed. In all honesty, I didn’t go into depth with the details because it was just to gruesome to me to have to repeat them.
What do you think? Would you have reacted the same way? I have family members who knew this young man in H.S. and said that he was genuinely a very nice kid even back them and how nice his whole family was. He was trying to do the Christian thing in helping this woman out and it got him viciously, brutally, beaten to death. They were without mercy but I know that I’m not supposed to act in kind. There is the human dilemma, huh?
Confused,
Terri

When the little bunny
met death eye to eye
‘Twas not his fate
that he did becry
For the bunny knew
if his time to die
He would go on to
the sweet bye and bye
And death was amazed
no fear in him lie
So in every hope
of torment to try
Death then decided to
just pass him by
As bunny hopped away
a thanks to heaven cry
Unto God the Almighty
’twas not his time to die!
