Father

Father I know your listening 
to all I have to say
and when you hear me whisper
I know you'll see my way
even when I'm grown-up
and wearing pretty clothes 
you'll surely even remember
when I was three years old
but those days have passed us by
and now that you are gone
I'll always see you smile
from dust till early dawn
your memories are with me always
as is the tide that waves
and when I'm there beside you 
I'll have so much to say.

Never Forgotten Always Near

Thoughts of him I write today,
Remembering the day he went away,
His pain was just so unfair,
Disease of cancer none can bear,
With tears upon my older face,
Still I see the empty space,
I see his silly little smile,
How he danced with so much style,
Winters when we played in snow, 
And ran inside when we were cold,
Evenings sitting by the fire,
With the one I so desire,
Catching a nap and holding hands,
Our love was always really grands,
Thinking of him after all these years,
Makes me know I deserve these tears.

Child's Delight

She sits to watch the ladybug
a little child a lovely smile
so ever slow she didn't know 
that  reaching out would make it go
a gentle touch the ladybug moves 
not very much she find a groove
she claps her hands with pure delight 
then she stands to watch its flight
ladybug flies not knowing where
as the child  watches in a stare
she waves bye-bye.the little child 
watching  nature for awhile.

Christmas Time Is Here

I think back to many a year
when Christmas time was very dear
our tree aglow with lights and fruit
having spent many hours in rubber boots
trudging the woods for that special tree
snow had fallen clear up to our knees
we'd trim and cut then make a stand
our Christmas tree just  looked so grand
we dried some fruit that  hung with care
even strung popcorn which was very rare
the lighted candles stood so tall
praying each night that they wouldn't fall
our Christmas time so very merry
none of that rush with cash and carry
we had things made like socks an shirts
never worried if the shirt didn't work
stockings were filled with fruit and nuts
we never expected or had very much
oh i think back to toughs wonderful days
wishing many could  have seen our ways.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Remembering Mom On Mother's Day

She could see all this in her mind
even though she hadn't  been there
it was in June with flowers in bloom
the sun very bright that morning
mom humming in the next room
she stopped to kiss me and said so long
gave me a hug and said, "I Love You"
she heard the car start
she ran to the window she was already gone
tears filled my eyes as she toys to remember
what was it  she heard how can she recall
it was in the moment that those words 
came to mind
"I Love You darling" see you tonight
so many years have gone by it seems so surreal
this Mother's Day makes it seem so real.


Dedicated to MY Mom
On Mother's Day 2007

Bluebirds High

Bluebirds fly towards the fluffy clouds
                                       in a row and chirping loud
                                        seeking solace far away
                                           there'll be back
                                           on another day .

One Second In Time

He felt her standing close to him  
looking down he felt a grin
she seems so tiny and quite thin
as he looked he saw her chin

he moved  a step to the right
as she moved in his plain sight
she looked up, smiled so sweet
connected  a second on the street,

he tried to speak to her that day
just as she turned to walk away
he stood there watching for awhile
like a silly little child,

he walked along the quiet bay
moving slowly  he saw her sway
her lovely face had turned his way
wishing he more what could he say,

she turned  to wait for him that day
his heart beating fast away
soon she stood in front of him
close enough to see her grin,

one second in time is all they knew 
that love together could come true
no more hurrying after her
now she's his he wants no more.

Thanks On Thanksgiving

I sit  here writing remembering when
many holidays soon had to end
each year I wait to dress turkey and more
hoping many  people knock at the door
 pies are made with pumpkin and spice 
and soon it'll be time to put out the ice
for drinks of cheer with lots of talk
later it'll be time to take a walk
now  the turkey needs to be dressed
stuffing for many  with cranberries best
food will fill many  a large appetite
mashing potatoes so fluffy and light
the day's  starting out to be very bright
family arriving  with friends mighty nice
Thanksgiving's Day a  special thrill
for family, friends, and so many spills
but we pray for everyone who share this day
 to give  thanks in there own way.

Christmas Vigil

The Lord birth was on this day
we celebrate this day in many ways
All we know our Lord's true worth
Christmas Day is his true birth
Vows we made to reach anew
Giving thanks for all he knew
Families celebrate loud with song
Gathering together many strong
Let the songs of this day ring
Pray for peace this  war we're  in
Friends and families weep within 
Shows we all believe in him.

Busy Mind

I sit here and write 
in my book tonight
Wonder why others
have everything right
I wonder about things
i have no control
My minds always going
it does nothing slow
Day till night
i find things to do
And never stop
till I'm faithfully through
The stress of life
can be redefined
Just for a moment
give it some time.
