    About this ebook

    Someday I will be happy, are the words of those who dream.
    But happy flows just like the wind it comes and goes you see!
    The things we try to hold to, are just worldly things indeed!
    And time will show that worldly things are not the things we need
    Darryl Snoddy

    Inspired by a newfound willingness to share his innermost emotions and thoughts with the world, Darryl Snoddy opens a window into his heart where he poetically reflects on his unique journey through life as he learned to embrace the lessons that accompanied his joyful, inspiring, and challenging experiences.

    Snoddy lyrically explores a variety of topics that include unfair judgment of others, the struggles of a Vietnam veteran, the unconditional love between soul mates, an important lesson learned from an old neighbor, the heartache and regret after the loss of a cherished friend, and a weary mothers struggles as she does what she must to help her children survive.

    Through My Window shares a collection of poems that allows an honest view into one mans life as he walks down an enlightened path that leads him to thoughtful discoveries about himself and others around him.

      Through My Window - Darryl Snoddy Snoddy

      Listen

      Let’s take some time, let’s listen, for the truth in what life brings.

      Let go of all egoic thought; dismiss all earthly things!

      Let’s contemplate our spiritual lives- the lives that truly matter,

      The essence of our Godly souls; let’s break through all this chatter!

      Just think of how we spend our days; some struggle to exist.

      Collecting all these earthly things of never ending lists.

      We live our lives in quest of some condition we won’t find.

      Disillusioned by mere concepts that are strictly of the mind.

      Someday I will be happy, are the words of those who dream.

      But happy flows just like the wind —it comes and goes you see!

      The things we try to hold to, are just worldly things indeed!

      And time will show that worldly things are not the things we need!

      You cannot take it with you, is a spiritual phrase in grace!

      Reminder of our spiritual realm where possessions have no place!

      And yet, this truth, this spoken phrase, is rarely realized.

      These words professed for spiritual ears, are lost in worldly eyes.

      For rarely do we stand for things that remind us of our truths.

      We are mindful of the things of man; like there’s something there to lose!

      The truth will set you free one day— can this be meant of death?

      Don’t take for granted spiritual phrase, and be Blessed in spiritual breath!

      While You Were Out

      While you were out

      I made you this list.

      I’ve listed the times

      And the things that you missed!

      I’ve started with New Years,

      The end of the year.

      You forgot to be with us,

      So, that day had no cheer!

      Oh, you missed our birthdays-

      By the way, there were four.

      Never took a look back

      As you walked out our door!

      And NOW, you come smiling

      With your hum and your haw;

      With your fancy new suit

      And your fancy new car?

      I can’t call you Daddy,

      Because that isn’t your role!

      And, of course, there’s the fact

      That these days, I’m too old!

      My kids can’t call you Grandpa,

      So, they’ll just use your name!

      That’s the respect that feels worthy-

      All your kids feel the same!

      Do you think yourself worthy

      Of respect from your seeds?

      When YOU chose to walk out

      And never jiggled your keys!

      You better take what you’re given.

      We’re going to give you this chance!

      Though, you didn’t raise boys

      Or have you Daughter’s first dance!

      There’s been a lot that you’ve missed

      In the time you’ve been gone!

      So, we can’t reminisce

      If we talk on the phone!

      We will try to move forward

      While we hold to the past!

      Not impressed by that suit

      Or that car that you have!

      Thou Shall Not Judge

      Who appointed YOU my judge?

      The one who walks on airs?

      Is it you, who sets the standards?

      In God’s place YOU dare to stand?

      And how does one come to this place,

      To sit upon
