Having nothing more to offer you than an abiding and unconditional love, I offer to you the following words that were written espcially for YOU, "Cupcake"...

Should It Be So (A Psalm)

Should is be so that life is God to you,
and you are God to it.
Should it be so that you stand in Understanding
and not succumb to the degradation of hedonism.
Should it be so that the tears you raise are in Bliss,
and not in the sorrow of a requiem
that is the hallmark of those who will never know w... read more

"I Have Seen"

I Have Seen

I have seen the sublime indifference of nature
To suffering and death...
And I have seen first hand
The incredible cruelty that man visits on man...
I have seen with perfect precision how I came
To be at this point in time...
And I have seen how others may say they have
walked in my footsteps but know that only I can know the aggregate...
I have seen how nothing can mean something
And may even actually mean everything...
I have seen how random fate can seem to be to the most brilliant of minds
But know that there is hope in every heart
That can both grasp and venture to chance the chance...
And I have seen in my eye’s mind how it all began
On something infinitely smaller than the point of a pin
That became in life of a nanosecond the Infinity of the poets’ din...
And now I have seen what it looks like on my face
To gaze into your astonishingly beautiful eyes
And know with the utmost certainty
That there is nothing more wondrous left to see...
And now I know with impassioned relief there is life after life.

From: Love & Similar States Of Insanity- (Copyright © 2006, 2007 by Richard D. Kennedy, all rights reserved.) is scheduled for release in October of 2007
