Grandma knit up a sweater that fit all three
Some of them could not get their hands quite free
But we pretended we love it, because we love her so
This was said by all three – Shemp, Moe and Curly Joe.
sea is turbulently stormy this darkened night
eyes watch in awe, wonder and fright

Awakening wisdom in a quiet space,
Gentle acceptance of what time imparts,
Embracing the journey as I grow whole.
Those we love won't go away
They walk beside us every day
Having a smile on face each day
We always treasure every time
Making them like a dime
But not treating them like a lime

TRIKU the single word ekphrasis hiku with integral one word title -
The way the moon faithfully spans across the sky-- does prove He
designed the lunar path to be elliptical -- how groovy --
and blessed --we are-- to get this nightly panoramic "movie"
triplet bear cubs are enjoying the remainder of the old hollow stump.
they’re hanging off pieces of her, one has fallen down on his soft rump.
mama is patient, but daddy bear might have turned into a grump.
You are on mama’s last nerve said the loudest one, a two-year-old chump.

TRIADS OF TRUTH
No sin in Him,within
this He cannot do,
(El shaddai),
no lie,upon His lips,
again cannot,if
to be true;
almighty,yet cannot
Himself deny,this
God is love.
Labelled after and inspired by Elizabeth Daryush,the English poet 1887-1977, a 6/5/3 syllacbic

one I knew many years ago
all was fun we didn't know
life was short many years ago
mum checks nursery
one, two, three sleeping babies
at last she can rest!
One baby wakes, two others start to cry
Three babes awake, she’ll sing a lullaby!
