Gamaliel and Elvira's Wedding Anniversary (August 14, 1976)
It was forty-eight years ago today,
that we stood before God and man.
We exchanged vowels of love and respect,
and put our lives in the Master's hands.
Over the years, we have seen the storms.
We have seen the burdens of despair.
We have battled with the enemy. Thru
it all, we remember the power of prayer.
We have been bless in spite of our trials.
We have succeeded because of our love.
It is because of our unyeilding faith,
that we remain covered by his blood.
We take this opportunity to reach out
to our family and friends.
To thank those who were there
thru the thick and the thin.
When this day passes into history,
another life's story unfolds.
We are looking forward to the years,
that are more precious than silver or gold.
A poem for my wife on our
forty-eight Wedding Anniversary
Your Loving Husband

A STAR IS BORN (The miracle flower of the ages)
A TRIBUTE TO GABBY DOUGLAS
We are reminded once again, that dreams can
become a reality. It was your dream and your
destiny to fill this void in history. God guided
you, your family, your coaches, your trainers
and your friends. Ultimately, it was your faith
in youself that made it happen.
This is what happens when a flower is nourished.
THE MIRACLE FLOWER
Each morning I watched from
my windows hoping to see
this fragile flower spring to life.
With intensity, I watched as the
sun set. I wished for a light
shower to dampen its pedals
and energize its roots.
The coolness of the morning comes,
light sprinkles from the morning rain
beats gently on its pedals, and
trickles down its stems.
I watched with a child's curiosity
as the stem's dark green color return
and the drooping petals once again
displays its vigor.
I was reminded once again of the
beauty of nature and its power
of restoration.
It was with this validation
that I continued on this journey,
knowing that all is possible to
those who believe.
