Thank you
for
giving us a special boy
Who by being him
has mended a broken heart
Breathed life
where there was despair
Given joy
where there was no hope
We thank you
Lizz
So very glad
we met, we spoke.

You Couldn’t Be
May 30, 2022
You couldn’t be
what I needed
wanted you to be.
No matter
how hard you tried
you couldn’t be.
You couldn’t be
all that I needed
desired you to be.
I see you couldn’t be
you couldn’t be.

Procrastination, procrastinating
May 20, 2022
Procrastination, procrastinating
Get it done now
– maybe
Guilty, guilty, guilty
See it done later
– maybe
In the meantime
I’m sure
– positive
I’m not lazy
Just don’t want to do it now
– too busy
If I put it off
I’ll always have something to do
– crazy
Procrastination, procrastinating
See it done later
– maybe.

A Hummingbird Came
May 11, 2022
A hummingbird came to my window
today
not seen since
in the fall
when they all
flew away.
Sweet nectar she’s looking for
needs right away
hovering, looking in
she tells me.
Get it ready!
Get it ready!
Get it ready right away!
The little hummingbird
is
hungry
she’s flown such a distance
from far
far away.
Now needs
some sweet substance
til
all the blooms
are
on display.
A hummingbird came to my window
and
told me all this
just this morning
just today.

I Saw
May 6, 2022
I saw a chipmunk sleeping lazily
Enjoying the day
Quietly.
I saw a dog splashing
Playing in the water
All alone.
I saw a deer eat seeds
From my deck
Secretly.
I saw a tree fall
Smashing all.
I saw ants marching across sand
With a leaf in their mouth
They ran.
I saw a dog cry
Mourning the loss of one
Who’d died.
I saw a tree upside down
How could this be?
I saw a bumblebee sip nectar
Quietly.
I saw a fawn cry
Plaintively.
I saw a stingray fly
Majestically.
I saw a crocodile up close
So scary.
I saw life abound
But none, not a soul, no one
Saw me around.

My Thoughts
April 26, 2022
Won’t go back
My thoughts were right
the
first time.
Don’t second guess those thoughts
let them flow
Telling you
all
all you need to know.
They know
They are connected
to
the universe
and
there all thoughts
they
freely flow.

Pathetic And Sad
April 22, 2022
Pathetic and sad
He goes forth
The essence of bad.
No one curtails
No one dare tell
The evil one
He is going to wither
In hell.
He doesn’t know
It doesn’t have to be so
He could be happy
And glad.
All that’s required
Is to be open, generous
Considerate and mostly
Not angry, bitter
Or sad.

My Best
April 12, 2022
Working forward
Working is a process
To pass thru life
Feeling accomplished
Feeling
I’m doing my best
Will there be rewards?
Will there be stress?
I’m sure lots of both
Lots to look back on
Knowing I did all I could
Knowing
I did my best.

My Deepest Sympathies
April 8, 2022This may have been written after a terrible tragedy in 2018 but my thoughts and prayers are the same now for the Ukrainian people who have suffered so terribly much.
My Deepest Sympathies to the families, friends
All who know victims in yesterday’s horrific tragedy
My prayers go out to you
To the ones whose lives were brutally cut short
Those injured
For no reason.
No sane reason.
You are in my thoughts, my words, my prayers and my heart. ❤
