View of the world from the 50's - Opinions, Reviews, and Poems

Sitting in the fifties at Ham's. In Rocky Mount NC, Thursday night there is live music here. From the bar the guitar string are smoking hot with the latest Songs from the last ten years.

I came out tonight to sit and talk with my sister. Her name is Kellie. I have always been worried that we would not have a good relationship. I try to speed time with her more often now. I am nearing the 31 years of age. I want and have great expectations for my and my family, My sons ( starting a business that they will take over) and my sister that i can have her in a business and so on and on.

As I am sitting in the side area here in what is called the 50's. I watch the people come and go. Do they realize that the fifty year mark is nearing all of us one day. Often I wonder if they are aspiring to achieve what is have in mind. You would have to have allot of background information on my and my family to understand the passions of mine to archive more than my grandparent's, and not my parents.

At the age of 13 I left my mother and father to live with Grannie Mae and Grandpa Percy. The parental units were more child like and silly in a way than I was at that age. I was in adult mode when I should have been having fun with other kids. It was hard for me to feel socially accepted by others during the larger part of my Youth. So going to live with my Best friends, Yes the Grandparents were my best friends. My mom's mother Beulah Hodges was my spiritual guide of sorts. I was active in the Church of God with her most times the church was open. For months at the time I would go live at her house. Though there was allot less of a house and wealth there. Her love for my filled my life. In 2001 on her death bed she summed up what she thought about my the night before she passed to the other side. She said when she opened her eyes for a moment to see that I was there " You are the Apple of my Eye" . This made me feel so loved. I knew then I was about to be on my own. With out her for good. She had done here part to express and teach her wisdom for 20 years of my life. Earlier that year i had lost Percy to the other side and this nearly crushed me. I had lost my two best friends.

I am still here in the 50's listing to the music its 11:26 and they are going to close up in 30 min. I will writ more tomorrow till then latter.

Cheers,

Michael Frazier
