Sea Jewels

Sea Jewels

There is treasure in the ocean
There is treasure on the beach
If you look then you will find it
It lies within your reach

Bits of glass along the shoreline
Bits of glass mixed in with sand
Be careful when you touch it
So it doesn't cut your hand

Clear and brown are easy
Pink and blue are hard
Colors of the rainbow
Found in our backyard

Jewels from the ocean
Jewels left by the shore
Jewels are for the finding
Jewels not from the store

Look hard and you will find some
Next time you're at the beach
Sea Jewels are there waiting
Right within your reach

Snowflakes

Snowflakes are falling through the night
Making a blanket soft and white
Finding white pattern on the ground
It's a white Christmas all around

The Rush

Christmas lights are hung
Shopping has begun, sales on
Rush the holidays

Symmetry

Oh what do I see?
Symmetry on my tree
Ornaments get the best of me
Do you think this is OCD?

Pond Etiquette

Around the pond we go
Some are fast and some are slow
Pond Etiquette

First you say hello
to those you do not know
Pond Etiquette

Second time you go 
a wave is all you owe
Pond Etiquette

If you make round three
You'll get a smile from me
Pond Etiquette

Losing Things

Thoughts and possessions
Boxes in my mind
Empty recollections
Going back in time

Memories forever
as long as I exist
Who should I will them to?
Should I make a list?

Rem

Light breaks the surface 
of my watery dream state
Now time to wake up

Grandpa says Mark's a darling, Debbie's cute as ever, TWB

There's a house by the road where my Grandpa lived.
He gave the world all the love he could give.

For children and animals have faith and trust. 
Which would do very well by the rest of us.

I wish he was here, so I could get to know him better; but he gave me his love
through his poems and letters.

The animals still come there because they know its home, and the children come
there just to roam.

I still love my Grandpa though he's been gone for a while, and when I think of him it makes me smile.

Hamden, Mass. 1977

Pain

Please stop the pain, the drain of the pain, infiltrating my life, my mind

Temporary relief in a bottle, not good for my stomach PPI's and Tums don't do it

Take it away, let me enjoy the day, my time, my life

Life

Snow falls gently down, like flour sifted from the sky
I sit by the window, while my life passes me...goodbye
A promised Spring, a new life to come
Shall I stay as I am or embrace the chance to change
Do I take the risk? or accept what I've become
No right or wrong answers
It's just your life
