"There's a right way and a wrong way"...when my dad muttered those words as some of his last before he died I did my best to comfort him and let him know that both God and I knew he chose the 'right way' (in his heart anyway).  The next day when my brother and I were going through his stuff in storage I came across a poem done in calligraphy, framed, dated 1983 and signed by him....James Charles Primo....it was entitled "There is a Right Way and A Wrong Way"...goosebumps...tears. In 1983 I was a freshman in high school and I recall those were the beginning of some dark days for him.

We have choices in life, some so clear some hazed over in a cloud of black smoke...yet we need to choose. The poem is deep, dark and profound...I love it!

I sit and think all night till dawn,

To try and find what's right from wrong,

But then I realize by the morn,

That I'm the one that's really gone.

I start again from dawn to light,

To try to find what is wrong from right.

The time it takes is not much fun,

But in the end I'll pick from one.

If it's right or if it's wrong

We just don't know until it's done

But then again I sit some more,

Because I doubt my thoughts before.

Again I see the dawn and dusk

I wonder why I have such lust.

My feel for life is oh so great,

But yet I sit and wait and wait.

What's right is right and wrong is wrong,

I'm getting tired of the same old song.

So do for now as life goes on,

For who's to say what's right from wrong.

It turns out I have my dads love and ability for creative writing...who knew, it actually started when I sat down to write his Eulogy. I may have mentioned in a past blog that some doors were closing and some were opening, writing a book using "Primo" as my platform is one of the open doors.  A consultant just suggested to me that I blog about my journey, the Primo evolution...wow, that would really be putting it out there... I'm going to do my best.  I started today by sharing one page that will be in the "Who is Primo" book!

Got something cool, profound, inspirational, courageous, motivational...please share...it could be next page!

It's sunny, beautiful and the birds are chirping....it's a beautiful thing!
