The sun shines bright
Radiating, glowing
with
all it’s might.
Let me not
be standing in the shadows
not feeling
its’ love, warmth, beauty
and
delight.

The Sun Shines Bright

Birds Do Sing
October 30, 2025
Birds do sing
the sun does
shine
the world turns
lost
in
endless time
The song they sing
sounds
through the valleys
echos out
to
sunny skies
Where birds
fly
stars twinkle
and
I laugh, I cry
seeing
with
wondrous eyes.

You Gave Me Life
October 29, 2025
You gave me life
you gave me
hope
you saw the future
you strove
to make it real
the most
I saw you do this
I held on
tight
I walked behind you
I tugged a little
at
your coat
Now grown
we walk together
now
we’ve seen the fruition
of
all our planning
striving, hope
The Light
We’ll smile
that
we made it
we’ll laugh and cry
for
we are together
resting quietly
up
in the blue, blue sky.

Feeling The Heart
October 28, 2025
Feeling
the heart
feeling the love
in
the midst
of
passion
I succumb
to
another’s touch
another’s
love.

The Future
October 27, 2025
The future is mine
as
it is yours
Let’s journey
together
Me
with mine
and
you with yours.

No One Else
October 24, 2025
No one else
no one will be just the same
cause as you may know
or can see
we’re all unique
never not the same
not the same as
you and me.

Hold Me Close
October 23, 2025
Hold me close
I pray you hold me tight
for
I am frightened
by
what shows
in
the morning light
Let it not be coming
to
take me
Let it be
just
a passing storm
that cares
nothing
absolutely nothing
about me.

Are You Treading Water
October 22, 2025
Are you treading water
waiting
to die?
Or
diving in
with
a loud victorious cry?
Or
swimming
to
a island paradise?
Your choice
to
make
your choice to live
in
this time
before you die.

I Hold My Hands
October 21, 2025
I hold my hands
I close them
tight
I feel the glory
in
all their might
They will cheer
the good, great fight
they will fall silent
in
mourning
the world’s sad plight
I hold my hands
thankful
they can show the world
my delight.
