My Promise
(Shakespearean Sonnet)
By Martin Kloess
My dear my love my world my precious soul
Please take my hand that I may bless your life
And be your shield for any future strife
To be that piece of life that makes you whole
-
That every day you walk through will be bliss
And all your needs I’ll meet to see you smile
An at your feet such wonders I’ll compile
Your dream your heaven paradise my this
-
But though I dream alas I’m just a man
A man whose dream right now holds only you
Tomorrow’s dream may change oh yes it’s true
But for this dream I’ll do what legends can
-
All this I wish plus love that will not die
But I can only promise this I’ll try
As with every other
part of my life in this world so far, my time in cyberspace has been rather
bittersweet. For I have been led to
meet (so to speak) several very ugly people, but from time to time, our
Heavenly Father has blessed me with meeting a truly beautiful person.
[Martin Kloess] is
most definitely one of those truly beautiful people, and aside from some of the
most incredible poetry ever written, his [Poetry and Viral Videos] site
contains a lesson on the different types of poetic styles he employs that would
normally only be available to those attending an elite institution of higher
learning.
Okay, there is also
the viral videos part to his site, and this is where Martin displays another
incredible talent. For he can find the
stupidest videos ever produced. Yeah,
making cranky people like me even crankier is all part of the joke (I hope). At least between the great poetry and stupid
videos on each post can be found good music (even to me, much of the time).
With my energy
level being so low, I am amazed at just how much content he can publish each
day under normal circumstances, and what makes it even more amazing is that
Martin is suffering from [PLS]. I had
never heard of this rare neuromuscular disease until meeting Martin. He tells me that he can no longer actually
speak, nor go outside, but that there is no pain. Nonetheless, our Heavenly Father can sure
make it hard to keep believing in His goodness and mercy while we are still in this
world.
Speaking of such, I
have been having a wonderful time trying to get the initial listings for the
new site directory ready and I do not know exactly when it will be ready to
launch. Hence, there will be no more
editions to the [A Sunday Drive] series for the foreseeable future. There are two [ATF] editions already scheduled for
each week until the first of June, and then I will publish another progress
update on the new site. Since I am
currently around half done and can only work for a couple of hours a day on
average, the launch of the new site may not come until Labor Day. Hey, I was assured of it happening, but I was
not promised it being as soon as I wanted it to. Sigh.

Thanks for stopping by, my dear Adullamite!!! Thankfully, He will never change, and all He has done has been for His glory and our ultimate good.
DeleteHe sounds inspirational to be able to produce such stuff when he is suffering from a horrible disease like PLS. I will check out his site. You'll still be checking in here won't you, till the new site is up. I don't think I have read anything you have written about it in the past, but then I haven't been around much in the last couple of months.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Jenny!!! Yes, I still check my email each day and go visiting my friends every week or so in the hope that they will not forget about me. The new site is a directory with a couple of things that will hopefully make it stand out.
Delete"Martin displays another incredible talent. For he can find the stupidest videos ever produced." That truly is a great thing to make others laugh and find humor.
ReplyDeleteMay God be with Martin as he completes his journey.
Thanks for stopping by, my dear Susan!!! I would do well to better follow his example.
