You

My mind travels as rain  slowly falls.

It washes memories of you to where they wait.

Presents gather wishing them well with hope and joy.

But peace on earth also meet guiding me home.

I loved you even during the frost of winter.

And under that tree of my youth I see all of you.

You wished GOD to gather me like kindling waiting to be lit.

I had my own plan and it was prayed for too.



For Roberta



I'm weary from the journey

Learned my lessons well

It's complete now and we have both moved

Love no longer swims upstream for us

No rain in the forecast

The sky is clear and the Sun

You live inside me with the lessons

I mail them to all I meet
