Time is the best thief; it steals feelings, memories, sensations, everything you thought you could keep forever....

Resentment,
rising into a spore,
of keep-forever
bitterness,

bars peace of
yesterday, today
tomorrow.

A treasured love that brings such cheer
          That makes me smile when I'm alone
     Such joy to keep forever near
          For hope no less than mine to own......

Capture the moments 
through the eclipse of time
The shutters hold in through the lens of the eye
moments like these we keep forever
To forever hold the times we had together...

Everything is temporary
Nothing is yours to keep forever
Even your cells, soul and molecules
Are as fleeting as the weather

Didn’t realize they were only on loan
Now I know that’s a fact
And now I’m Pretty sure the Cosmos…
…Wants my atoms back…

I made this for my granddaughter’s birthday 2019

The Snow Globe

My sweet Emily
Growing so fast
I give you this
Round Glass

A medal I received
To keep forever
Shake it
Snow will appear

A love I cannot explain
Deep within my brain
Happy Birthday
Today

My Sweet Emily...

I have old photographs 

of her that I have saved

and will keep forever.

But there are few of the personal things

I can remember.

The sound of her voice,

her laugh, 

the smell of her

and the thrill of her whispering in my ear.

But she is not dead.

Except to me....

Draining in the water,
Eyes full of tears,
Feeling numb to the pain,
Deep inside,
Scared to loose him,
Why is love so painful?
Why does love hurt?
Why is he so far?
Why does life always,
Gives a taste of things,
That you cannot keep forever?
Why is love so painful?
Why is life so twisted?...

If you could lock up three words
to keep forever,
that were yours and yours alone

What three would you choose
that were not ‘I Love You,’
your heart to save and own

Three magical words
to live within,
now yours forever more

Three magical words
to light the way
—and open every door

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)...

You were sent down below
To this earth from heaven
You brought me smiles, 
Happiness and memories
To keep forever and ever

But then you were taken
From this earth
And now I am left
With only the memories
We had together
And pictures of you

Yes you're an angel
Who was sent from heaven
Down to this earth
To spread your happiness
All around

You hold my heart so tenderly,
As if it's made of gold.
It's yours to keep forever,
Together as we grow old.

My heart is yours, and yours is mine,
We'll guard them with our lives,
With God in these hearts we hold,
Together, we will thrive.

Our love is such a blessed gift,
God is good all of the time.
He knew I'd cherish yours,
And He knew you'd cherish mine....

I held those days in

the palm of my hand.

They were mine to
behold, to keep.

Youth was mine to

keep forever I thought,

summers came and went,

as I dragged through my

teen years.

Day finally came to leave

home, finding life

not so grand as I

thought it would be,

wishing I could have

those years back,

would have made

better plans.

Finding God

The one who finds the Father
Can also find the Son
Then the Holy Spirit
Can mark the chosen one.

Then all time can be counted
As time spent faithfully
In service to the Holy One
Who watches over you and me.

Then words like grace and mercy
Mixed with perfect love
Are ours to keep forever
When sent from up above.

Thus, sonnets can be written
And all our sin is smitten.
