Cherish your treasured families and friends
'Fore it too late, and one wears that shroud
You know, we never know, when someone's life ends
Soften your voice, yet speak it out loud
A good life thrives on love, not hate
Thus, taught to us whilst in our youth
And folks- we learn to appreciate
Those loyal and honest spoken words of truth
Heartbreaks hardened... oh, those saddened eyes
Yesterday here, and just like that- ashes
Surprise, surprise... another one dies
And sadly, one's entire world- crashes
So, love your friends and families you cherish
And remember not to hate, and to love thy neighbor
Tomorrow, another loved one might perish
And wear that shroud, to the almighty, creator
I have received a lot of unexpected sad news from friends lately
- But this shocked me -
I came home from town and my neighbor with her younger daughter approached me
She asked, did you hear? I said what?
She told me her husband died in a tractor trailer accident!
As I was responding, her daughter suddenly started hugging me and would not let go!
I kept hugging her tightly and kept talking as my mind tried to absorb the shocking news
A heavy sadness consumed me
I told them I know what loss is like and gave all the positive advice and support I could
For some reason the world seemed small
Just the 3 of us standing there as pain lingered in the air
- God Bless Them -

We’ve been good friends for a long time.
Now we must shake hands, then goodbye.
Try to stay in touch with each other.
Our farewell will flow like a river.
My buddy, good luck, and take care.
Gazing at our sad eyes, don’t despair!
Remember our fun times of friendship
As we meet and part on our long trip.
Take a deep breath, relax, and smile
Later, the new friends will identify
Even farewell symbolizes sadness,
But knowing people brings us happiness.
Our work positions are temporary
Most friendships will fade finally
The fork in the road, we are facing
It’s time to smile for handshaking
Dust to ashes, ashes to dust -
old bicycles turn to rust.
The boyhood friends I found -
buried in the ground.
Insultive,
are you here today?
Why hurt me?
Pain again?
Life is way too short for this,
love not hurt for me.
So dear friends, you didn’t care
To share your stuff, but anyway
I never notice you are there
And I don’t hear what you say
And if you’re silent, it’s not me
Who gives a reason for your silence
You’re such a quiet company
Can’t get enough of your refineness
For I’m a cyclothymic guy
I’m posting pics you’ve seen before
Trying your patience and you sigh
While scrolling through the news galore
He’s been on the lawn
Every year…for 40 years
A four foot tall plastic
Glowing, snowman
I sat with him yesterday
As he looked a bit down.
Asked “what’s up old friend?”
He sighed, slowly spoke
Asking “where are all my friends?”
“There are no angels across the street
No bells chiming down the way
I haven’t heard one Christmas carol
Or seen one silly Christmas sweater”
I hesitated to tell him
The Grinch had actually
Stolen Christmas
Or at least held its joy hostage.
He flinched when I told him
“some even take offense at you”
Because of what you symbolize,
What you stir in the hearts of children
Reawaken in the hearts of alleged adults.
My neighbors are trying to figure out
Why I was sitting on the lawn
Singing Frosty the Snowman
Loudly and somewhat off key
Love things sweet and easy:
Porridge, coffee, good ol' me.
Most of all every day really
I love how he treats me sweetly.
Love things sort of nasty:
Booze, cigarettes, how he's sexy.
Sometimes so wasted, I go crazy.
But nothing will change how he loves me.
Love things to be fun and free:
Music, media, reading are what I do daily.
Walks, lazing, enjoying life indulgently.
This freedom all I ever wanted to be.
Love things just as they are for me:
Neighbors for friends, socializing easily.
All I ever wanted was to live this simply.
Sadly, I'll never live up to what I could be.
I love the times when I feel joyous inside
When all’s well and there is no sign of sorrow
Sunny days when our windows are opened wide
And anticipating joys of tomorrow.
I hate the days when I’m feeling down and blue
And everything seems such a chore to do
When there is strife and friction that never ends
Especially between family or so called friends.
there’s something dreary
about a terrasse drenched in rain
can’t help but take it personally
like a missed invitation
to an afternoon drink with friends
or a cancelled party
a dull hush lacks warmth
too early or too late
no one at the rendez-vous
no welcoming sunshine
stood up by the host
a final rinse
the rain lets up
the earth on pause
before the sun breaks through
and sets everything on cue

Loved all those times we met for tea;
My friends from our old garden club.
Now, many cannot come to share;
Our group is dwindling every year.
Pray those above, still carry on.
Forget about it
Don’t think about it
It’s not important
Put it out of your mind
Things I have been told
Advice for the lovelorn
The bereaved
The broken hearted
The lonely
Your love has gone away forever
They have left you behind
They have stopped you in your tracks
Well meaning friends
Want you to forget them
Get on with your life
But the hole in your heart
Is too big to fill
With sympathies
HE~
He has met her before
He knows that
Maybe once or twice
Yet, where and when he is just not sure
SHE~
He is in good spirits today
I think he remembers me
Yet , yesterday he asked my me name
Shouted at me to go away
TOGETHER~
Fifty-three years wed
A loving , happy marriage
Kindred spirits, best friends
Now , strangers navigating the unknown instead
