Early morning dew appears..
A soft wind blows as...Read More

Come one in all, one in all;
Be my love my spirit need;

I rise although I may fail
I learn from my mistakes
Some lessons are learned
quickly and others come
over a period of time

occasions
Never be afraid of failure
because it is in...Read More

Honest whispers, 
from somewhere unseen. 
Things we should not,

sometimes,

saved in the next. 
God the only path, 
worth taking. 
The rest, 
the left behind…

Measured short by their own rulers....Read More

Ode to Bob

My little bird, 
that bites, 
hard.
How I love thee, 
anyway. 
You make me laugh, 
and cry, 
and believe
that all things

what God made them to be. 

Sometimes you hide, 
and it drives me crazy. 
I should keep...Read More

Gentle on My Mind

You play along the edges, 
of every memory worth having. 
You have been there since, 
I care to look back.

You… ever were patient, 
kind, and slow to anger, 
walking...Read More
