My Comforter My Friend

I met a friend by chance!  It was in a schoolyard
                  when I first saw her glance
                                                                             
                  We shared all our secrets our hopes and our dreams
                  believing that we, would have high self esteem

                  Two hearts broken in half, different stories
                  with different past

                  She showed me to love my father
                  how to grieve for my mother
 
                  These years we have jouneyed both near and apart
                  keeping each other close in our hearts

                  Her comfort to me, in all of my days   
                  was God's promise, "I will be with you always"
   
                  This friendship we share is true,  none compare  
                  a gift from above, when I first saw you there

The Dark Half

Come forth November, we welcome you
               Though cold an silent, one day all will be new 

               All life goes to sleep in a way 
               Our souls need peace, a time to give thanks and pray

               Reflections from our heart, of days long ago
               Reminds us of fireside chats, and the places we'd once go

               Dim light from the sun slows all that would grow 
               Preparing for winters fresh bedding of snow

               It's only the dark half the other sides bright
               Lets let out a laugh, and light our candles each night

               Till April your sister with showers of rain 
               Wakens our spirit, then we'll all dance again



                                                                     Nan

Arbor Life

Clear skies cast away all the clouds that she weaves 
                      As I wander  through the trees on a cold winter eve

                      Mother Earth's breath of wind unaware of it's power 
                      While some fail to stand others still tower 

                      I wonder do they know how each one is unique 
                      Some strong and majestic, some frail and so weak

                      An old burly Oak with parts that have broke, whispers 
                      To creatures, come take my shelter I bid you my cloak 
    
                      Do they ponder a summer with fruit on the vine
                      What once was a sapling has become so sublime

                      The fragrance of Cedars with fresh morning dew
                      Are they tears left behind, did  they cry for the moon

                      A bird in a hollowed out Sycamore sings....
                      Does he know that her time to pass will come soon

                      No need for Man to tend what God's made
                      One pure and perfect life in a glade
