I’m opening my presents in front of the tree, Dad, and I look over to your chair I look at the emptiness, Dad, the space, and become sad because you’re not there Summer comes along with my birthday, Dad, and you aren’t there with a big grin My competitions come and go, Dad, you aren’t […]
Love was not enough for us, Though we were much in love. We started down the well-worn path, But it was not to be. Delight was not enough for us, Nor tenderness that moved Through years of angry dissonance Towards some dark, bitter sea. Our differences were far too great, Our lives too far apart. […]
That Single, Solitary Grain of Sand sticks to the sandal that tread upon it. Feels elated; it has finally found a way to escape it’s lifelong confinement on that one beach. It is now free to roam Not as the wind once took it; but anywhere that sandal may go. And as time goes on […]

Love comes through the eyes that see And through the ears that hear, For people are quite beautiful, And words make feelings clear. Love comes through the hands that touch With unabashed affection, For only skin-to-skin can love Maintain its true direction. Love comes through the tastes and smells Of fresh and well-cooked food, For […]
Join the ice cream army, as they head off to the coast In the stationary traffic, they sit there and they roast By the time that they arrive, the day is nearly done Join the ice cream army as they race to catch some sun Join the ice cream army, sitting safely on the sands […]
