Bill Upton Biography

Station to station the news is the same,
Stronger today than yesterday.
Heinous crimes, intense, evil passion.
Suicide bombers killing children, shattering parental dreams-
...

The most gorgeous day of Spring
Walking next to me on the Miracle Mile,
Sunday morning stroll to the house of the Lord.
With no clouds in the blue sky, there is something unusual-
...

That cuts into the soul.
It is the emotional, surgical detachment of the heartstring
That has defined life as we know it.
...

Who are we?

Life factors change the contours of our journey
Like GPS systems gone awry.
...

A man's soul should not be decided on his deathbed
When a life-locked near-cadaver lies in despair
Except for an utterance of the inevitable final cry
For a life's worth of forgiveness.
