You will never stop a man driven by faith.

You will never stop a man driven by faith.
-M. Taggart
Anyone praying on Hell
Has missed the point
And We’ll not see you again
-M. Taggart
How do you think
A trapped soul feels
Without a little light

Now this one I’m proud of!
As many of you know, I love our son completely. Having the
ability to ‘will things’ into place, or happenings into reality, exists.
It’s real. Faith, is real.
Thank you, Terveen Gill (Editor of Masticadores India and wonderfully talented author). I consider you a friend. I’m thankful to have you in my life.
A Trick on Life
I played a trick on life
and trusted it.
Along with what my mind delivered;
the opening of a door, the murmur
of a child, the running feet from
a few rooms away until finally
they were no longer away, but here.
As if when having thought about life
with him, long before conception,

And I see you looking back
walking underneath yourself
While trust waits
Sometimes a five year old
has the most confidence
and why shouldn’t they
and why should we
It’s as if the five year old
has a soul
an infinite soul

when it hits, I write
i’m so sorry i’m so behind. I see you.
I love Gavin. I’m blessed to be his father. I don’t understand how a parent could have the capacity to not love their child. And yet, so many don’t. And so many do. I’m in the ‘do’ category. I always knew I wanted to be a father. And bam! Here I am! And there he is. Looking rather serious and daring me to sink his battleship.
The doctor told my wife to call her when she starts to bleed. We had already lost one. I held on to Faith- Tell life it can’t. Gavin wasn’t supposed to be born. So we were told. Somehow Megan and I suffered a bit more though. Megan nearly died during an ectopic rupture when Gavin was nearly two years old.
Megan lived. Gavin lived. I’m trying my best to live.
Gavin won. In so many ways.
-Matt
Gavin is five. Not sure about his soul though.
And what’s a thought until it’s not.
-M. Taggart
You feel my grip
as I stand shivering
in the cold
Thank you God
it was always you
-M. Taggart
I was meant to write,
I believe;
not to do the other.
I didn’t pick
that path. It’s been
placed in front of
me, an unquestioned
dream-come-true.
So, I’ll walk it
with unmoving faith.
Because that’s me.
That’s always been me.
-M. Taggart
