Bookshelves

Bookshelves: books, memories galore,
Bears, a dog, a monkey. Candle glow.
Music flows into the window, light.
Presidents Can. Music all over house.
Flowers, pictures, bulletin boards, 
Plenty of files and Kleenex, cards.
Statures of Jesus over my shoulder.
Desks for writing, no biting my 
Polished nails, hails in North Carolina.
South Carolina, white beaches, sandcastles.
Maps to wherever you want to go, and go
I shall, in my mind, body and soul. 
Zen rock garden with Budda, owl, cricket.
Flowers all over house, but never on my
Resting place. My family yes, me no go.
Science is the way to go for me, we'll 
See what they need and the rest will join
My true love in the Colorado Mountains.
Come what may, forever we'll be together.
