Gotta GoBooks to the library
photos to family.
Paint cans and lumber
from renovations years ago.
Most of the furniture
including the piano.
Fastest way to do this
is rent a dumpster.
On the internet
nothing’s permanent.
I like that.
Photosynthesis, evaporation
as if your spirit disappears
when the...

VDear secret, have I done you justice?
Can I finally lay you to rest?
Please understand,
I never bid farewell, Esteem I cannot forget,
From mutual feelings
shown through quiet years,
How I miss thy company
ever fleeting,...

St Patrick's DayAre not Irish Eyes
always smiling?
IN the Blamey
at the stone – at the family
pub, celebrating life’s cheering,
brawling, grinning, deeply etching
proud ethnic tone – in the
lilt of his sweet tenor; even in
the brave sorrows, those...

Saved By FamilyThe trees are thrashing, high winds, snow, and ice.
A storm is brewing, and it won’t be nice.
A T.V. warning, the power might go out,
it’s going to get bad of that there’s no doubt.
We watched the...

Oh why, oh why
Words are meaningless, now that the boy is gone.
How can he not be here - he was so young and strong.
Time won this game and the price was very high. If we could see him...

FIDDLE THE FAMILY PHOTOThere are some that will play the game
to fudge the facts and show no shame.

Echoes of a Mother's LoveIn distant lands, I roamed alone,
Leaving you behind, our bond unknown.
Each day apart, a silent strain,
Yet our love endured, through joy and pain.
Your tender heart, a beacon bright,
Guided me through the darkest night.
Miles away, my...

Now starting to dull and lose the vibrancy they once had
Some days they still shine but in a different light, in a different way
I have always had...

I Wish I hadLine of inquiry:
The ego within forced me to resist
But now I wish I had effused a love mist
With aplomb and flair, just kind of left it there
For self-aware souls passing by, who choose to pair

TO MY GROWN CHILDRENTO MY GROWN CHILDREN
For my four children I've been working
Almost every day

There were baseball games, dance recitals
That you wanted me to come to
But with all the time...

I'm Sorry MomThe inklings of a perspective,
I had never even pondered,
That despite all the mistakes,
Not a single year was squandered,
I have held you to a standard,
That nobody could could live up to,
An ideal from a perfect world,
Something...
