Struggles Of The Storm

Preface

Hello !!! I am John Tatlow. I would just like


to thank you for taking time to read my book.
Bless you and I hope my book might help
inspire you …

I started to write, because of my


experiences. I had a vision of my deceased
mother and me in heaven that changed the
way I perceive life. I feel it is my duty and
responsibility as a Christian to share with
others…

Most people live their life not realizing what


really is around them. There eyes so focused
on this earthly world they don’t see the
spiritual side…

If I can inspire one person , to help come


closer to the Lord … That’s my main goal…

Even though I been disabled with


Huntington’s Disease and Epilepsy ( seizures )
It hasn’t stopped me from accomplishing my
goals and dreams… It takes God, support,
love, inspiration and persistence…

Prelude Of Poetry

(---A Collection Of Testimonies---)

Struggles Of The Storm

Poet’s Testimony

Hello! My name is John


Born on the 24th of March, 1980
To my dear mother Shawne
Who was such a kind lady

I was very close to her


Unclaimed by my father
No sister nor brother
Just me and my mother

An unknown disease she had


Huntington’s is now the name
It made the family so very sad
Decreasing mentally she was never the same

I was eight when she passed away


Faithfulness in such a difficult path
Such an example, each and every day
Even through such an aftermath

Passed few a difficult day


When I was in bed
I lay and I pray
Asking why she was dead

7
Struggles Of The Storm

A Poet’s Testimony

Then my mother came to me


In the brightest beam
Beautiful was she
Shining in a dream

Seeming like a telepath mime


I asked if I could stay
Shook her head, no not your time
Then wiped my tears away

I woke up soaked in tears


I then knew
That in a few years
I would be with her too

I had the clearest vision


Where the brightest beams glows
In a place called heaven
Where the love of God flows

Where I went and saw floating far above


God is perfect that much is true
If I tried to describe his ominous love
I wouldn’t know where to start, no not a clue

8
Struggles Of The Storm

A Poet’s Testimony

So by fact I know there is a gracious God


And by fact I know there is a unity so nice
So by fact I know there is both soul n bod
And by fact I know there is a heavenly paradise

I lived with my Grandmother Marion


Who spoiled me with many a thing
I lived my proud Grandfather Dean
Tries his best at everything

Twelve I was
I went and moved
To Uncle Doug and Aunt Nelda’s
I was very confused

They brought me to church


Introduced me to Jesus Christ
Awakening my spiritual search
Realizing the all the time I waste

Again I moved not very fun


Back to my grandparents
I fell into depression
A road of sin I choose to taste

9
Struggles Of The Storm

A Poet’s Testimony

My separation from God affected me


My separation from many a friend
Holed in my room full of worry
Lost in the woods a prayer I send

Spiritually frozen for many a year


I knew He was giving
I knew He was there
Like a fool, I wasn’t willing

I fell in the valley deep


Called manically depressed
Thoughts of suicide making me weep
That much I confess

I thought I was a weight


An extra mouth to feed
Others my age, full of anger and hate
I felt like an unwanted weed

A little voice inside


There’s more to be done
Don’t continue to hide
You are here for a reason

10
Struggles Of The Storm

A Poet’s Testimony
When I turned nineteen
I started going to youth
My faith in God was redeemed
I saw again the truth

I accepted me for me
Look deep inside my soul
To let others see
My awesome wonderful whole

A visit on last November’s eve


To my Uncle Doug and the rest of them
They were certain, yes they believe
He could help release my tension

So I moved to the Fort’


Regularly to church I went
To youth and things of that sort
More and more people I met

I wish I could say all of this in normal testimony


But I am privileged, happy and very blessed
That I have a life of abnormally
For not all people tasted Heaven like I did

11
Struggles Of The Storm

My Mothers Cry
I found out
What pregnancies about
At twenty-one
I prayed for a son

The little dear


Was born the next year
The blessing came
John is his name

A year passed
Cruel and fast
Husband started to hit
Then we went and split

Homeward bound
Comfort I found
Here with mom and dad
Terribly was so sad

Next year crawled by


Memories make me cry
Slowly I started changing
It was terribly confusing

12
Struggles Of The Storm

My Mothers Cry
Worried about results
And painful effects
Needing sleep and rest
I took a medical test

I had an unknown disease


Silence I did freeze
I could not talk
Barely could walk

Disease is unidentified
There is no guide
Either it is unknown
Or the doctors haven’t shown

It deteriates you mentally


As well as physically
Till your body is weak
And you can no longer speak

Becoming a risk to yourself


Endangering your health
A deadly disorder
Far slower then cancer

13
Struggles Of The Storm

My Mothers Cry
Because of their fear
They lock me here
All on my own
At an old folks home

Place to place
Quickly I race
Moving I roam
From home to home

Filled with fear


I look in the mirror
No one realizes
The pain in my eyes

With my guitar
Playing a bar
I try to string a song
Wondering where it went wrong

No one hears
My crying tears
Treated so cold
At the home of the old

14
Struggles Of The Storm

My Mothers Cry
A crooked confinement
An impractical imprisonment
Hopeless without a cure
Cruel tiring torture

Savagely I am treat
Drugged and beat
No one knows
Believes or shows

Dazed and confused


Embarrassed and scared
I hide in corners
Away from the nurses

Let me be
Why punish me
Quit using force
You just make me worse

They don’t realize


They don’t sympathize
They don’t see
What has been happening to me

15
Struggles Of The Storm

My Mothers Cry
I want out
To move about
To see my John
Lord, it’s been so long

I only have a picture


To help me remember
My little boy
And his favorite toy

Why am I bind
Why am I confined
I committed no crime
This place is a waste of time

Prison without chains


Instead cripples and canes
Almost dead and depressed
Dying and disillusioned

I hear is crying
As people are dying
I eagerly await
My turn at fate

16
Struggles Of The Storm

My Mothers Cry
Left here to die
I wonder why
And how all this death
Will improve my health

Why won’t you let me be


And see John my baby
I miss him dearly
Only visits me rarely

I am losing hope
As I try to cope
To live one more day
The ordinary way

How is this home


This deathbed tome
Supposed to be
Helping me

I am a hostage
Trapped in a cage
Watered and fed
Clothed and bed

17
Struggles Of The Storm

My Mothers Cry
Held against my will
Overdosed by pill
One night passed on
Heartbeat was gone

Now I lay
Night and day
Dead I am doomed
In a tomb

Body to earth
My souls birth
To the heavenly skies
Eagerly it flies

I ask the Lord


For a final word
With my one
And only son

I appeared one night


In a beautiful light
In a deepest dream
With many blinding beam

18
Struggles Of The Storm

My Angel
My angel came to me
In the brightest beam
Beautiful was she
Shining in a dream

Seeming like a telepath mime


I asked if I could stay
Shook her head, no not your time
Then wiped my teardrops away

I woke up . . . soaked in tears


I then knew
That in a few years
I’d be with her too

19
Struggles Of The Storm

My Heart Is Free
About ten years ago
She ascended to the sky
A lot of people felt sorrow
For my mother did die

A day after, feeling low


Asked the Lord why
I surely didn’t know
Wish I got to say goodbye

That eve when I fell asleep


Everything went all white
And I sleeping deep
Then I saw this great light

I saw her there


And then we spoke
Floating on air
Later I awoke

Maybe it was just a dream


At least now I never cry
When I saw her in that bright beam
I finally got to say good-bye

20
Struggles Of The Storm

One Dream
I had a little taste of heaven
The holy, bright shining city
In a wonderful dream
With peace and tranquility

One day after my mother’s death


At the age of eight
Some ancient soul came to me
In my depression and worried state

I could see with my soul


I could see many of a blinding beam
I could see many bright whites
In my beautiful dream

Coming from everywhere


Standing in the heavenly light
Felt warmth, love for from all
Could hardly believe such a glorious sight

Talking with a translucent spirit


Telepathically we shared with one another
I read all its answers so quickly
I had many questions about mother

21
Struggles Of The Storm

One Dream
It informed me not to worry
I’d be with my mom someday
She’s with the Lord now
And through Him is the only way

After our discussion


I asked if I could stay
No . . . it’s not your time
I felt I was home and didn’t want to go away

As we were floating
In the bright radiant sky
She asked me to go on a walk
I agreed, boy did we fly

I felt I was moving


Faster then the speed of light
Standing being transported so fast
What a rush and so bright

Then we stopped
And it showed me a book
Opened it up
Had a look

22
Struggles Of The Storm

One Dream
After I returned
And I awoke tears in my eyes
Thank you to my friend
Thank you God, you are so wise

I know I belong there


I know I will return
It’s a matter of time
Till then, from each experience I’m going to learn

23
Struggles Of The Storm

A Call To Heaven
Wishing I could
Just pick up the phone
And talk to you
Back home

On my knees
Tell her I care
Long distance call
Heaven sent prayer

Give her my thanks


And my love
Give her a hug
Up there above

In the heavens
You are watching over me
And I’m missing you
So unbelievably

I don’t know
What I would do
If I wasn’t
Blessed with you

24
Struggles Of The Storm

A Call To Heaven
Your spirit
Was like the sun
Spreading its beams
To everyone

When I
Meet my fate
Look for me
At the pearly gates

If you
Hear my shout
I will there
Calling out

Wishing I could
Just pick up the phone
And talk to you
Back home

2005 -2008

26
Struggles Of The Storm

Shadow Of My Spirit
I was living
Days of darkness
Shadow of my spirit
A sinful mess

Everything was
Getting dim
Rarely I would pray
To Him

Walking down
The wrong path
Dealing with
Such an aftermath

Five long years


Away from the Lord
My soul feels empty
Once it soared

I feel guilty
I can’t face
This disaster
And disgrace

27
Struggles Of The Storm

Shadow Of My Spirit
There was a storm
In my soul
And it kept me
From being whole

I realized what
My emptiness
It was Jesus
Who I missed

Now the light in me


Is ever blinding
With Christ’s love
I am shining

I feel a high
As I mature
Reuniting with my
True father

28
Struggles Of The Storm

Family Reunion
Talk about the good times
When they were young
It was so different
Way back when

Different generations
Of family
Sharing together their
Favorite memory

Telling their
Accomplishments
Listening to their
Experiences

One of a kind
Get together
Truly unlike
No other

It was really
A true blessing
When everybody
Was reuniting

29
Struggles Of The Storm

Mothers Day Prayer


Heavenly Lord . . . merciful Christ
I can only pray
That my dear mother
Will have a happy Mothers day

Please send her


My dearest love
In the heavens
Up above

When God
Calls for me
I will get to
Really meet you finally

I pray that You sent


This to my mother
Who was an angel
Unlike no other

30
Struggles Of The Storm

Mothers Day Prayer


Lord of Lords
King of Kings
Award her faithfulness
With countless blessings

Thank you my mother


Heavenly godsend
In Jesus name
Amen…

31
Struggles Of The Storm

Transformation
Self destruction
Living lies
Just didn’t
Want to realize

It never stopped storming


This constant rain
I got used to it
Addicted to the pain

Ready to give in
I was so weak
Fed up with it all
Death I did seek

Inside out
I was transformed
Inside out
I was transformed

Inside out
I was changed
Inside out
I was awakened

32
Struggles Of The Storm

Transformation
You will
Never part
You are living
In my heart

You are my wings


And make me fly
You are my every breath
My true high

You keep
My soul aglow
Your love in me
Just overflows

Inside out
I was transformed
Inside out
I was transformed

Inside out
I was changed
Inside out
I was awakened

33
Struggles Of The Storm

Everyman’s Cure
Test after test
All my doctors say
My fatal disease
Worsening every single day

People look at me
With sincere sorrow
But I am truly blessed
And they just don’t know

No doubt
I agree
My illness
Is a real tragedy

It’s a new disease


With no cure
So Jesus
Is my doctor

God always
Has a plan
Created Christ
The miracle man

34
Struggles Of The Storm

Everyman’s Cure
The undescribable gift
He gave to me
Was a promised life
Of a heavenly eternity

For all who


Didn’t accept Christ
In their hearts
And the ultimate sacrifice

Each is eternally diseased


Looking for a cure
Lonely, depressed and empty
Souls that need a Savior

People hear
And feel so sad
Irony is
That I am glad

I achieved all my
Dreams and goals
Now I try
To save lost souls

35
Struggles Of The Storm

Everyman’s Cure
I have the Lord
Causes my happiness
Gives me hope
In a river of bliss

Praying my friends and family


Find their Savior
And realize
He is everyman’s cure

36
Struggles Of The Storm

On My Last Day
At the end
Of my last day
When I
Pass away

I will be
Forever thankful
Each friend and family
Eternally grateful

Learning from
Everyone I met
Along the way
I am truly in debt

For Lord Jesus


Who turned me
Into the example
I wanted to be

And my soul
Will rise above
Into the heavens
With the purest love

37
Struggles Of The Storm

Disguise
I’m addicted
To the rain
And inside
The growing pain

I gave my best
Now I’m drained
Day by day
Going more insane

Hidden away
I never cry
Search my spirit
My true feelings lie

I crashed down
From the sky
Slammed straight
Into pure misery

No one cares
Constantly I hide
That I have been
Bleeding inside

38
Struggles Of The Storm

Disguise
I gave my all
To hard I tried
My heart has already
Died on the inside

Everyday
Is another disguise
Sad thing is
Fool my friends with lies

Deep inside
Where my soul cries
But I mask it all
With a face full of smiles

39
Struggles Of The Storm

No One
No one
Wants to see
That I
Am so empty

No one
Wants to see
That I
Am so cloudy

No one
Wants to see
That I
Am so lonely

No one
Wants to see
That I
Am so unhappy

No one
Wants to see
The tragedy
I see in me

40
Struggles Of The Storm

The Dark Pit

Down here
Where I can’t see
Is the place
You’ll find me

I am blinded
I lost my sight
Now everyday
Is constant night

Hope for me
Is getting dim
No one wants
To sit and listen

I hermit here
In agony
Trusting no one
Night and day

I am losing
My mind
Scars and bruises
I am broken

41
Struggles Of The Storm

The Dark Pit


Everyday
Same old thing
I am tired
Of always giving

No one understands
How I am so alone
But my soul is fading
And soon it will be gone

Yeah I am way down here


Where I can’t see
Is the only place
You’ll find me

42
Struggles Of The Storm

Falling
I am falling
More and more
Deeper and deeper
Then ever before

My faith and hope


Has all been drained
No one knows
My real pain

Empty and hollow


Ripped inside out
Beat up and broken
Torn all apart

I have nothing left


I gave everything away
Even if it cost
My sanity

Yes I am falling
More and more
Deeper and deeper
Then ever before

43
Struggles Of The Storm

Tragic Disgrace
My road
Was so clear
Now I’m
Living my fear

Spiritually
Tragic disgrace
I do no not
Deserve Your grace

A pile of dirt
Nothing but clay
I’m sinking further
By the day

Enveloped
In shame
From the Lord
And His holy name

I’m sick and dying


Of jealousy
Living life a lie
Hiding deep my envy

44
Struggles Of The Storm

Tragic Disgrace
I keep it all in
Building inside
Now my soul
Is commiting suicide

I was
Soaring high away
Crashed to the ground
From the souls high

Oh Lord
Please forgive
I am starting to slide
This sinful place I live

45
Struggles Of The Storm

My Personality
Its one word
Personality
Never-ending search
My journey

I am shouting
Out to my soul
Screaming to reunite
With my whole

Accomplishing so much
Along the road
I should be
Very proud

This solace place


I have found
Got me spinning
Round and round

Always wanting
Something more
Will I find
Something to settle for

46
Struggles Of The Storm

My Personality
All my achievements
Keep me enlightened
All my mistakes
Keep me haunted

I use to
Live in lies
Hidden deep
In disguise

My personal therapy
I write it all away
Dealing daily
With my reality

47
Struggles Of The Storm

A Servants Prayer
Hello precious Father
Full of ominous love
Shining up
In the heavens above

I pray
For my grandparents
To accept you Jesus
In their hearts

I pray
For my grandmothers psysts
Please give her strength
They may be serious

I pray
You will mold me
Into you
Nothing I’d rather be

I thank Thee
Lord Jesus
Father and
Spirit of holiness

48
Struggles Of The Storm

Forever Thankful

Each my friends
This poem is to
Without them
Wouldn’t know what to do

Full of inspiration

Along the way


Caring constantly
Aiding me
On my journey

Eternally grateful
And I am
Forever thankful

49
Struggles Of The Storm

Good Friends

They are
Always there
To show
Their care

My dearest friends
In every way
Never stop
Making my day

To my face
They bring a grin
As we share
A similar sin

I thank you
For making me see
The light in the dark
And inspiring me

50
Struggles Of The Storm

Sanity (Huntington’s Disease)


To my sanity
I say good-bye
All that’s sane
Is about to die

Growing crazier
By the day
And slowly losing
My way

Dead inside
Of loneliness
My life
A tragic mess

Constant confusion
Brain overload
Never quits
Blocking my road

Is it just
The constant pain
Or am I really
Going insane

Lost Or Found

Constantly
She’s been searching
Constantly
She’s been seeking

For a God
Who she can believe
For a Jesus
Who she can receive

For something
To awaken in her soul
And finally
Make her feel whole

For something
From heavens above
To show her
The truest love

For something
Deep within her heart
Come and tear her
Emotionally apart

54

Find your way

Hopeless Romantic (Jen)


There’s this girl
Who won’t leave my mind
There’s this girl
Shimmering soul leaves my blind

There’s this girl


Incredabally fine
There’s this girl
Just totally divine

About to give up
On this thing called love
A dream came true
Angel from above

Lit this spark


Inside of me
Make me feel
So heavenly

Came from nowhere


Swept off my feet
Inside out
So sincerely sweet

56
Struggles Of The Storm

Hopeless Romantic (Jen)


When I’m without
Clocks slowly tick
When I’m with you
Time doesn’t exist

Brightly shining
My blinding ray
Always seems
To make my day

There’s this girl


Who won’t leave my mind
There’s this girl
Shimmering soul leaves my blind

Kellie’s Letter
Praying for things
To get better
As I read
The rest of her letter

Deep inside her spirit


Is a hurricane
Tearing her apart
I feel her pain

Teenage years
Hard to resist sin
Feeling so dirty
Slowly she’s dying

For her soul


Worries me daily
That she may
Harm herself seriously

58
Struggles Of The Storm

My Recipe(Jen)
I savor
Her personality
And everlasting
She does to me

Just a taste
Of her soul
Makes me
Feel more then whole

Lots of love
And devotion
Filled with
Every emotion

Honey cause
She sticks to you
A feel like a kid
And my dreams came true

Everything
And anything sweet
That makes her, her
And me complete

59

My Recipe(Jen)
To fill my heart
There’s been none
Now our two loves
And mixed into one

Everything I love
All put together
To my dearest
Still doesn’t compare

By: John Tatlow & Jennifer M Oliver
Forever…
Dear angel…
Soul-mate…
My eternal…

So long on broken wings…


I tried so hard to fly…
Exhausted, disheartened…
So hard to keep on trying sometimes…

Heart shattered, wings battered…


And torn, scars showing, never fading…
Wandering lost, alone…
Ina fog so thick and deep…

Never knowing, always praying…


Till one day at last…
Fate finally…
Allowed…

Found the better part of me…


Found the love so true and deep…
Saving me with…
Your love, unconditional…

My soul-mate…
My best friend…
My true love…
To never end…

Hearts and souls eternally…


Bound together forever…
Our love will grow…
Knowing no bounds…

Wounds now cleaned and healed…


Hands clasped together…
Leaping with one heart…
One mind, one spirit…

We are now flying…


So far above…
With our damaged wings…
All healed from our love…

We feel so much…
For each other…
Angels…
Forever and ever…

Happy Thoughts(Jen)
In everything you do
I’m thinking happy thoughts
Whenever I think of you
I’m thinking happy thoughts

Whenever I laugh
You are my reason
You are my constant smile
Underneath my grin

Brighter then
The suns ray
You warm me
Each and every day

Your loving
Cheerful soul
Always making
Me so whole

There is
No doubt
Our loves burning
From the inside out

Confession Of A Lonely Heart(Jen)


I miss you
With a thousand lonely hearts
Every day passes
Tearing me more apart

My heart
Been aching
Emotionally hit
Again and again

Draining me
Slowly away
More and more
Everyday

My emotions
Deep inside
Jealous thoughts
I try to hide

Scared our love


Has slowly drowned
Swallowed by the deep sea
Without a sound

65
Struggles Of The Storm

The Fallen Angel(Jen)


I am a fallen angel
Falling more and more
Deeper and darker
Then ever before

I am a broken angel
Broken more and more
Deeper and darker
Then ever before

Into the depth


Of my sinful heart
And my strong soul
Torn all apart

My sincere spirit
In need of repair
Choking to breath
Drowned from despair

They all came true


My worst fears
And I am sinking
In my pool of tears

66
Struggles Of The Storm

The Fallen Angel(Jen)


I am a fallen angel
Falling more and more
Deeper and darker
Then ever before

I am a broken angel
Broken more and more
Deeper and darker
Then ever before

Struggles Of The Storm

Split In Two(Jen)
Our treasured love
Was split in two
How I wish there was
Something more I could do

Our sparkle
Day by day
Was slowly
Dying away

The special warmth


Ray of the sun
Disappeared
Leaving me a stun

But I didn’t
Have the heart
We already
Fell apart

Our treasured love


Was split in two
Oh how I wish there was
Something I could do

68
Struggles Of The Storm

Illusions
Everything’s
An illusion
Feelings overload
Constant confusion

Under my smile
Deep within my soul
Lies my true self
My real whole

Must be
Losing my mind
Seeking answers
But blind

I don’t realize
I can’t see
That my sanity
Fading away

Everything’s
An illusion
Feelings overload
Constant confusion

69

Good-Bye My Friends

I thank you so
For being such a friend
I thank you so

Can ever compare
To what Jesus is worth

Nor ever part

Everyday God’s love
Makes him whole

Yes I am John
A child
Born again
Through spiritual birth

Everyday
I feel so heavenly
Following my Father
In my own way

Nothing can compare
To this permanent high

A servant who was shown


What life’s really about
And who believes
Without a doubt

Siezures
My circuits
Are fried
As I feel
Electrified

My body starts
To jolt
Like a massive
Lightning bolt

Against my will
As I try to
Hold it still

Sometimes
I collapse
To the ground
Far below

I awake
In pain
All my energy
Been drain

For when someone has risen
There are no words
When they fly to heaven

There are no words


No longer is a tomb just a tomb
There are no words
Reaching the creators womb

There are no words


Lord I thank thee
There are no words
Changed my soul true

Vernon

In a place called
Okanagan Valley
Where God
Defines beauty

Vernon’s such a blessing


Lakes are so lovely
Endless fruit orchirds
A true sight to see

A place of bliss
Retiring in
Overwhelming happiness

Love visiting
My favorite spot
Vacationing

Day by day
It’s already
Grown
On me

Thankfulness
I live in complete joy
This is the situation
So I light some candles
In a prayer dedication

Thanks to the angels


Thanks to the Lord
Thanks to the family
Thanks to the entire world

For molding me
Like clay
To the person

Strengthening

I am blissful
And am free

Accepted Jesus

Rid myself
My worldly bod’

Thankfulness
I am blessed
With a monk’s purity
And a vision
So heavenly

I wouldn’t
Change a thing
Cause inside
I keep awakening

I like to
Express my poetry
Envisioning others
In my own way

Unaware of
The big picture
We live life
Being so sure

But I know
What’s out there
And that what
I want to share

93

Thankfulness
Worldly temptation
Every day
Resisting it
Comes easily

People who die
I want to return
To that heavenly sky

Be thankful
Live for the moment
Take everything
As a present

I live in complete joy


This is the situation
So I light some candles
In a prayer dedication

I Strayed
Forgive me, oh Lord
Day by day
Further and further
I strayed away

I lost myself
In lies and sin
Unhappy in the situation
I was living in

I lost myself
In lust and temptations
Puny possessions
And selfish intentions

I lost myself
In image and idols
When I should
Be accomplishing your goals

Forgive me, oh Lord


Day by day
Further and further
I strayed away

96

I Strayed
I lost myself
In spirit and soul
Feeling everything
But whole

I lost myself
In desire and world
Got led around
By the crowd

In gambling and drinking
Tore me apart
They are so addicting

Forgive me
Day by day
Further and further
I strayed away

I live for you


Day by day
Closer and closer
I live your way

This prayer is to
My friends old and new
That their dreams
Will come true

May God take these special people


And bless them in unlimited ways
Who’s been close to my heart
For the rest of their days

Keep their soul aglow


Their fire alive
Let them grow
And let them thrive

Aid them all


Far and near
As they start
This New Year

Bless them with faith


Bless them with love
Bless them with hope
From the Lord above
