About More

I inherited
my father and my mother's
cherished furniture
a sparkling vibrancy
seems to have left
the shine
since my parents
passed away.

Looking at my Father and Mother

was like looking
at God! 
No words
can describe!
What then is God?
LOVE !

In his hand is a Bible
Wearing white long robe

Go ahead and be yourself.

the only daughter of my mother,
the forgotten daughter of my father.
But I should have known
I have never been only one.

Where darting blue dragonflies
Flit like neon sparks,    
Hover flies pause and patrol,
In the drunken summers haze,
We sat fishing by the lake.
