You Can't.....
My Friend
celebrates another Birthday Today. I’m not even sure where he is and how well
he is doing, I just wish he is well and that God continues to shower him with
His glory. I owe much to this friend and his family. They were my first
exposure to a world outside of my family and they were the perfect example.
Many of my life’s lessons started with them. Now when I reflect on them, I realize
that I am the person that I am because of the early lessons I learned from
them, and especially my friend who stood by me from when we first met at that
bus stop. I ‘m glad we became friends.

You Can’t….. My
life was blessed with a boyhood friend Years
together with harmonious blend Blessed
from the day he started teaching me Out
of mere kindness and charity You
Can’t cross the road to take a bus over there How
come I asked, they have more than we do here On
bob a job days You Can’t appear like a softy Or
people would want to pay you unfair money Don’t
you know You Can’t were applets, socks and still a tie First
day at school many did but he made sure not I Ralph
always said You Can’t crunch over I
learnt walking was the exercise to give me power Every
day was a learning experience he shared Never
did he look for recovery, he just genuinely cared Don’t,
he said, You Can’t just run with the ball Read
the hockey field, predict every players call And
You Can’t serve a tennis ball without the spin Let
the players guest what the ball is
doing People
say You Can’t succeed when you failed a test He
taught me new direction on the road to success Hide
and cry and hide and pray, You Can’t publicly Open
your soul for all the onlookers to see Lessons
he taught me growing up together Developed
my overall strength of character Ever
little suggestion led to my changed way Ralph
has a new path now but I wish him a Happy Birthday! Best
wished to Ralph Holder |
