Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites. by Colen James Pierson

 

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites. by Colen James Pierson May 19 1961- May 23, 2010

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
These things and more may seem strange for a young boy to know.

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites
A drive in the country, the echo of “are we there yet?”
This lesson is taught to a young boy who himself thought he forgot
These things and more may seem strange for a young boy to know
For a mother’s son to feel to feel enough to know

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites… These things and more.
A hunt for treasure, somewhere, somehow, someone forgot
Bottles and cans forsaken for junk…
These were the jewels, along our mother we children did hunt
The treasure now is the memory of my mother’s. sigh of” oos awe!”
In the beauty of all that is under the sky.

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
These things and more no longer seem strange for a mother’s son
Now a father with children of his own.

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
This mother’s son remember now the lesion too often forgot
Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
These rainbows my mother did give to us not just my sight
She taught us to hide them in our hearts
This and more helped us sleep at night

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
We would drive in Mom’s car chasing the colors in sigh
Believing in our hearts the gold would be ours

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
Instead of movies, carnivals, Disneyland and ice Cream
Like the rainbows at day we chased the satellites by night

Money was hard to find during these times
Again we would get into her car, gasoline then was only few dimes
The light in the night we wanted to find
We would search for the beginning of this bright bean in the sky

All of us in this son’s mother eyes
The light sometimes took us to a market just new or
Often a premier of movie not yet viewed.
All the sights of these, we would all cry..
For candy or plead to our mother “could we please go inside?
Only now does this mother’s son come to know how she
Labored so hard to her reluctant words of “no”

Oos, Awes, Rainbows and Satellites.
Does ma ma know how much the loves grows
In my heart and in the children of my own.

Short winter up date

Oh how I dislike winter. I am trying to stay busy. Staying active in my moms groups and church activities. We had some friends over for dinner the other night and they just loves my girls. I am so excited for them to be watching the girls  and becoming great friends with them. You guys are just great.( you know who you are)  

Jeremy  has got almost the whole downstairs Sheet rocked. Thanks honey you are the best. Lots more to do. Progress is better then nothing. Sidney's room well be take a little longer due to money. We have had some break- in's in the neighborhood so for Christmas we are investing in a security system. Not to mention we well have a new member of the family some time in January. Pictures to come.
