GrandfatherI've never met the man myself
I've got a few pictures at hand
And a lost image in my mind
Cause he's barely in my memories

Beach BoundAnother warm day has begun,
Soaking in the California sun.
Volleyball players having fun,
Joggers flying by on the run.
Children brave the tide unafraid,
Couples snuggle close in the shade.
Surfers with tans that never fade,
Sailboat owners got it made.

Grandparents by whom I was blest.

October 19Diamonds and pearls twinkle in the moonlight,
Lost in a labyrinth of their own design,
The last of their kind.
I hurry through the maze,
In an futile attempt to find them,
And bring them back to me,
Bring back...

Grandpa Shoots From the Hip
Inquiring of my grandparents to explain love,
Teasing grandpa said, "Togetherness alone pays."
I asked him, what's kept you together all these years?
"Tethers do not work, the secret is frequent hugs."
In short, what do you credit your...

You came and faded in the rising sun like snow
But left my heart a glow
Your smile was ever golden and pure
Like the heart of your nurture
You shed tears so my hopes and dreams will...
