Maf Longfellow Poem
Needles and strips. Feet that's sore.
Aches and pains. Meters that store.
Numbers go up. Then they go down.
Cookies and pasta and cake all around!
Daily walks. Nutritious food.
Cinnamon helps. Some herbs do.
Fenugreek, bromelain and boswellia stew.
Fish and pumpkin oils fight inflamation in you.
Drink lots of water. Alcohol's taboo.
Loose the smokes. And spare tire to!
Sweating, shaking, tingling lips.
Too much insulin can do all this.
Or don't eat enough or over exercise.
Can knock you right out. Yes even die!
Glucose tabs. Keep close at hand.
Diabetes can be so grand!......

Maf Longfellow Poem
GRANDMA'S APRON
Grandma's apron dabbed my tears and wiped the baby dry.
Carried wood and eggs and fruit when she would work outside.
We'd run and hide behind it when scared or needed warmed.
It smelled just like the bread and pies she baked in early morn.
She waved good-bye and cooled the food her apron like a flag.
It was really torn and tattered. Was a cradle for my dad.
It's uses were so many. Just like another hand.
But now it hangs just resting beside her frying pan......

Maf Longfellow Poem
MAY DAY! MAY DAY!
They made the call.
Some were saved.
Others would fall.
MAY DAY! MAY DAY!
Man The Guns!
Keep in mind
What they saved us from.
MAY DAY! MAY DAY!
Our heroes are sung.
With their blood.
America is one.
MAY DAY! MAY DAY
Let the flag wave.
PEARL HARBOR DAY
Honors all the brave.
MAY DAY! MAY DAY!
"Oh say can you see?"
We're the home of the brave.
And the land of the free."

ARMED FORCES DAY MAY17th.
SOMEWHERE
The Moon is shining, On my love somewhere.
Lord light his path, And protect him there.
Stars twinkle, As he gazes on high.
Let him know, That you are nearby.
Sunbeams streaming, Through window pane.
Kiss him gently, Till he's home again.....

Maf Longfellow Poem
We could have run
And tried to hide.
But I promised Martin
I'd stand by his side.
The fear of death, hatred and pain.
He could oppress by peaceful change.
We could have tried
To run and hide.
But either way
He would have died.
So I gave to you my dream.
And carried on in peaceful means.
Now I join my love so true.
And leave this Dream Of Peace to you....

Maf Longfellow Poem
To my grandpa's fiddle
We had a ball.
Dancing a jigg
To "Turkey In The Straw."
Then to Daddy's guitar
Threw the year's he'd play.
Country tunes from the heart.
We would sing and dance all day.
Our brother's electric strings.
With amp's turned sky hi.
Rock-n-Roll to Christian music
Always turning on our HiFi's.
My son's and nephew's
And cousin's galore!
Strum the strings to the song's
Proclaiming Love and War.
From Grandpa's Fiddle
To my Honer guitar.
We'll turn Poetry to Music
Till we all become stars.

Maf Longfellow Poem
~~Ice Cream Delight!~~
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN! JANUARY 17
Benjamin Franklin was the very one.
In the year of 1771.
While in France dessert did come.
What is this wonderful delight!?
"Ice cream dear sir,
I hope you like."
With quill and ink
And much insight.
He acquired the recipe that night.
And sent it back across the sea.
To share Ice Cream.
With you and me................
