The Clark Kids

Kimball's blog vs Tiffin's blog

Just to clear a few things up on the blogger thing. The Clark IV family has two blogs. I (Kimball) run this one and Tiffin runs the other one. We have the two, because Tiffin's family all have websites on the multiply.com network and the Clarks are here. So when you see us linked to others' sites as just "Kimball" or "Tiffin", that is the reason. Neither one of us feels the desire to run two blogs. So there it is.

My attempt to be like Nathan

Fear Not…

The line of cars is long
On the backups of life.
There are potholes of wrong
And streetlights of strife.

What is this direction I go,
At the speed that I live?
“Look out below!”
Choice flows through a sieve.

“Fly a kite in the rain”
Says the constable kind.
He betrayed you again,
I hope you don’t mind.

Who do you depend on,
For your pain and joy?
Is it Lover or Mom,
Or a small infant boy?

I have not learned much
Living life in the dark.
Can’t see past my crutch
Not even The spark.

But when I close my eyes
And think of the light.
It breaks the dark ties
And gives me the fight.

What’s the opposite of fear?
It’s so hard to spot.
Believe and not see?
Keep it simple; Fear Not.

The clichés I’ll avoid
They don’t capture the feel
I get a little annoyed
When I share what they steal.

Now here comes the thrust
Of this ramble I voiced.
What’s the one thing to trust?
It is your own “Free Choice”

Do not fear the power
This one thing can wield.
Understand and not cower,
Choice is your unbreakable shield.
