Freedom's Call

Forever will I long for you 
Remembering your love each day
Enabled me to make it through  
Each time I shipped away 
Do not be afraid," I said, 
Oblige me in this task I take
Many people depend on me 
Soldier's love do not forsake

Come to me in the dark of night
And I shall know you believe 
Let me hear your silent prayer
Let your love help me achieve

Princess Charlotte of Monaco

She is born not of British Royalty  
but that of Movie Star, Grace Kelly
Gucci Equestrian rider and her
friends Athena Onassis, Jennifer Gates
Charlotte, far prettier than her grandmother

Polarized

As Bold Aries Full Moon Eclipse unfolds  
with aggressive behavior to morph the sky  
bleeding into the clouds subjective feelings  
like blood soaked passion all too soon to die

A Weakness Among Us

When the rain falls from
Heavens that God created,
we accept through Faith.

When a story's told 
of long ago we doubt, Oh  
Ye of little faith ..

Call of the Wild

Jack London's Call of the Wild


First brought to our attention in the year 1903
by a name that somehow jolts illusive memory
but how can we recall something so long ago
when we were never born, how then could we know?

Perhaps nature revealed the need to study more
black wolves upon our land reaching on to shore
or was it but an interest to avoid daily routine
the fascination of wolves that we have never seen?

This calling of the wild could it be an illusion
a mere excuse to escape then lost in delusion?  
whatever the reason feelings scream beware
always be afraid of the wolf who isn't there!

Edwin Hofert Tribute

SUDDENLY

There comes a time in our life
when we simply "must let go"
hoping that encouragement
has been our chance to show

That childhood must not remain
embedded in your mind
You are so much older now 
and in this chance you'll find

A new life does await you 
in the days of warmth and night
for by your coming home
That makes everything so "write"!

Edwin seems to have disappeared again
I pray he is not lost in depression

Infernal Revenue

RING RING...Hello IRS ... 

What's your take on a dependant child? 
My boys 40, ain't worked in a while! 
I got 8 more kids inside da house,
the boys bride and my second spouse.

First ran off with a traveling man, 
Raising her kids best I can, 
Calling to ask if this is true? 
Lost my job!... Can I.O.U.?

Reflections On a Window

Sophia leaned on her gaunt elbow as she stared out from the high window sill watching the minute drops of rain steadily fell the glass. Her thoughts unfocused when in the distance a shrill train whistle jaunted her recollections to the whispers of the past. 

It seemed so long ago when the children were small.  Yes, Ann, Marianne, Lydia and Michael the four of them always jabbering away, "Mama, when we die, will we be angels and fly around heaven?"  "Mama, when daddy comes home can we go to grandma's house?" "Mama, do you love me?"  "Mama, who do you love the best?"

Sophia thought how simple life was when they were mere little ones and how much more difficult it became as they steadily grew towards adulthood.  "Mama, I have something to tell you and you must promise that you won't get mad!" "Do you promise, Mama?" Some eight months later Lydia gave birth to a seven pound boy.  "Mama, all the neighbors are talking!"  "Mama, I am embarrassed to go to class!" "Mama, what does dad think?" "Mama, can we keep the baby?"

Sophia noticed the rain had stopped.  Suddenly she felt free.  The past whispers were no longer.

Jimmy Buffet-Coral Reefers

10,000 people gathered on the beach that day
as he entered the stage wearing sandals he'd say, 
"WOW!  look at YOU  come to lend a hand"
Then he grabbed his guitar to strike up his  band

Ten thousands strong held their drinks in the air
in hopes to raise money for the Gulf Oil scare 
The Sun was his strobe light, speakers the same
Today is the day they all shout Jimmy's name!

But far above the crowd the choppers did film 
while boats bobbed at sea just looking at him
for he'd travelled the world though mostly by boat
His love of the Sea meant a stick that could float 

Yes there were women, wine, stogies and beer
along with his reefers he'd never known fear
Though quite famous his words as you see,
"If the phone doesn't ring. . . . it's me!"

Lulu

My cats a tad bit different so I'm here to raise the bar
He won't climb a fence adores riding in the car 
His favorite trip begins when we're off to PETCO 
Sitting in his basket to watch his fishing show!

He's Spider Man for Halloween all the kids adore
they're here to Trick Or Treat and pet Lulu on the floor
I could go on forever talking about my love
instead I've left photos for you to see above
