a Promised land
How can a place be no fairy
And no person either
The birds are gone for food
There are no seeds, no fruits
And no flowers blooming for hopes
I don't mind and need not a pity
In fact, I am indeed rattling happy
If this is a discarded land
It must be mine

DAILY GRATITUDE WHALES
I will always be grateful to whales…
for one simple reason why:
The first time I saw a whale fly
I thought…
if he can do it
so can I.

Thank you Lord new song version
Thank you Lord
Thinking back upon my life
When days were ever so bleak
When nothing seemed to turn out right
I was desperate and so weak
Then you came along and helped me out
You pulled me out of the fire
And I thank you…Oh Lord
For saving my life
Chorus
I want to thank you Lord,
For always being there
Through the bad times

You Can Thank the Funky Monkey
No way you could call this a drizzle
Came out like rhinoceros pizzle
On this day at the zoo
This old monkey just blew
It fried my eyes and made them sizzle
Blinded, direction was hard to gauge
And I fell into the lion's cage
I was sure she'd eat me
But she purred so sweetly
Now I live with a cat

Where would I be without you?
my body and my heart are fragile brittle mostly broken
your visit and your kindness mean the world to me
you sing your song and the healing of my soul begins

The Pieces of Me
I open my bathroom door,
Clothes on the floor,
I look in the mirror, but the reflection is not me that I see,
But the people I loathe instead.
It’s crazy to think that the people that hurt me,
The people that I hate,
Are the people that make up me
The reason I wear makeup,
The way I talk how I talk

Thank God
(Early stage of “Before the Door”, 2023, original encaustic)
Thank God
Waves come and waves go
Relentless as always
Sometimes big, sometimes small
And still they come
But in the end
What more could we ever wish for
Or expect than simply this
And in that is the ultimate solace
Waves come and waves go
And in the end what more could we want
As we

Our Better Angels
I wonder, yes I wonder,
how many angels do we have in a lifetime?
They say,
we each have a guardian angel watching over us.
I wonder, yes I wonder,
if some angels are in training?
Do they need to earn their title,
with on the job training?
Then we have,
Our Better Angels.
The ones we can count on through thick and thin.
The ones

Once more I want to thank you Father
Once more I want to thank you
Father
For everything you did for me
Through all the years
You gave me the gift of life
After you had created
Me in you image
You had given me
Grey hair and brown eyes
You tell me that I am
Beautiful you in your eyes
Father I don't agree with you
At all
Father you are untitled to your opinion
I

Dear Mother
For Dwina, in celebration of Talia's
graduation from high school.
Dear mother, warm around me--
tender home for just this while;
so close together, you and I
I feel good when you smile.
Dear mother, here you've brought me
to this world so vast and bright;
oh, hold me close, protect me
and we'll rest here, for the night.
Dear mother, I'm so hungry--
right away,
