A game that my wife and I played
To teacher I would be an aide 
My best I applied
To pass test I tried
And at breakfast I’d wait for grade...

A baby, pious, was born by aide
He named it Gaias, and felt like a jade
While he cried,
Cause mommy died.
His wife hired yet another maid....

Create peace with abundant love

Redeem your spirit by heaven above;

Endeaver to convey a kind heart

Attempt to aide others from falling apart;

Teach young minds, so they may know

Esteem love and peace, watch them grow!...

stethoscope ends
emerged from ears,
lady vet’s task
then grimly done—
take your time here,
offered her aide
while tears seeped up
as faithful dog,
grown feebly-old,
lay still, inert,
after last breath:
	sad, lonely choice,
		my only one....

I love my earless cat-a-moints.
She wears a pink knitted beret.
To hide her lack of ear-filled points.
Cute on her head though every day.

She has a clever hearing aide.
Usually refuses to wear it.
A haughty little parlor maid.
Ignores me ‘til I can barely bear it....

Blood trickling down his skin,
And I was frozen solid.
I could not come to his aide.
Hemaphobia can be a big pain.
There stood my brother,
Aged three-and-a-half.
He wanted his big sister 
To get him a band aid 
And a kiss on the wound.
But, I stood frozen in fear....

America is a diverse and beautiful land,
Mountainous peaks to the warm ocean sand;
Everyone welcomed to life's liberty,
Reliable refuge for you and for me.
Illustrious giant of innovation-
Commitment to aide fragile nations:
America, the pacesetter of modern civilization!...

I love my grandchildren 
inside and out they run and shout.
Laughing, riding bikes and drinking
 cold lemon aide while sitting in the shade.
They ask questions about this and that
an when I answer they say 'no way.
I chase them in the fields playing tag,
hide and seek than we call it a day....

May you be remembered through me
For I'm afraid you'll be forgotten
When I'm no longer around to be
A visual aide-memoire you co-written.

May they visit you more when I can't
And my only desire may they grant
To make sure flowers bloom where you are
Until the time were never too far....

Revelry peculiars the incandescent cavalcade
making purple flowers loosen touch of its aide
as nothing hides in place of spotlight charade
for velvety leathers surrender every escapade
useful issues from its lifeline withering in trade
salient rise o'er frayed sins the earth weighed....

Two nurses and a doctor try to coax me into a wheelchair.
I sit firmly, hard, arms crossed, not doing it no matter what.
A nurse's aide comes in. She says "Therapy dog is down at X-ray today."
I jump into that wheelchair like the bed was on fire, and away we go.
No dog in sight, but a very savvy nurse's aide....

lonely canicular days hot
temperatures sunny weather
midsummer picnic days outage
lemon aide, potato salad
mosquitoes, ticks, flies all over
canicular summer solstice 
soon in few weeks shall be autumn;

Orange Crush made us feel grown.
We were kind of older, on our own.
Grape Kool-aide was set aside.
We had cola now, and potatoes, fried.

I remember thinking the fizz made me feel old.
I was all of fifteen; Orange Crush taste was gold.
We were wearing two-pieced swim suits on the beach.
Eating hamburgers too, which cost twenty-five cents apiece....

I am a professional knitter, she said at her front door.
As if we could not guess it, we could barely see her floor.
Yarm was everywhere, in magnificent colors galore.
Variegated, twisted, baby soft, a knitted band aide on her sore.
Afghans piled high on couches were sleeping with a snore.
We knew she could make herself happy from here to forevermore....

out to walk 
my dachshund and me
a gray streak is all you see
passersby in daily parade
me, the dog and gator aide 

silver haired streams 
seniors roam
travelled trails lead from the home
pastel processions in vestal white
naughty nighties in plain sight 

minus a mass 
memory lapse 
bathroom breaks and after naps
seniors pass in parade
dashing like a barefoot brigade...

If you need me I’ll be here
I’ll be there, be everywhere
If you don’t, know still I’m here
So you know I always care

If a moment, take some time
For you, yes you, I have an ear
Or just be quiet and give a smile
For then it brings me so much cheer

If verbose, fear not at all
I am ready to listen and give aide
For it is my reason to be here
For you’re the reason I was made...

"HER CURRENT CALL"


out of the fire
her mother is gone
her brother is gone
her sister is gone
her sex is gone
she's reached 
adulthood.

she throws a tantrum
she loses her focus
and brother satisfies
her hunger for attention
as the tantrum recedes
adulthood gets further
away.
 
and now we see why
she's in need of first aide
for her burns.

Sometimes rainy days make me feel better...
It washes away all my fears and makes me feel lighter...
Sometimes a rainy day gives a way to make things brighter...
It cleanses my heart and put aside all that doesn't matter...
-
Rainy day for me is a relieving aide...
For heavy heart and mind that I really can take...
Like now a day indeed, it's a friend at stake...
Close by now, and yet it'll be gone when I get a break......

So many times in life,
I've found myself blind;
Always hiding in plain sight,
And falling forever behind.

I try to seek my way,
But true self evades,
Deep inside me lies
A youth that never fades.

She crawls forever 
Within the maze of thought;
Steeling herself from pain
And torture others have wrought.

Her eyes are forever closed
Until her heart melts off the frost
And someone comes to aide
The little baby girl lost....

With you by my side
Like a lion I stride
In you I confide
You push my fears aside

With you I can ride
On any wave and tide
You are my strong aide
There's nothing left untried

With you by my side
Each slope feels like a slide
Our minds coincide
No wishes are denied

With you I can ride
On paths I've never tried
Even when you chide
My tears you've always dried

In my heart you will reside
Until the earth and sky collide...
