“Sunbeam,”    (02/13/2023)
Today’s “poetry” aligns with honesty, hopefulness and potential.  Metacognition infers being able to step back and take a wider view of things.
The “big picture” in my head if things went my way would include us honeymooning, lying out on a sandy beach, drinking drinks out of cocoanuts with tiny straws in them and constantly cheersing. 
Putting that in comprehendable text not only eases the built up floodgates, it clearly demonstrates how I’d prefer to treat and pay respect to the hopeful I plan to make my wife.  My smile nearly flipped upside down completely this morning again realizing bringing children into this world would not be as holy as it would have been in my days of growing up.  The world is a scary place.  Kids beating other kids up and belittling them until they end it all.  I pray for future generations.  I kind of feel more at ease thinking planning on stepping in and adding to incomplete family’s life might be my calling.  “Uncle” Kyle, stepdad Keech, Kyle “in clutch,” i like how that sounds. 
Lord, send me your brokenhearted, weak, unfortunate and dismayed.  Let me show them how a real man ought to be delivering.  Let me overdeliver, support and treat a family the way a real man should.
