The consensus is never let your heart rule what never is.

In His Eighteenth Year
November 30, 2013
Arco ~ Rest in Love and Peace
In his eighteenth year
He left your side
Left a wondrous life in which
He travelled far and wide
And did amazing things.
Not one to cringe or hide
Courageous to the end
Standing bravely by your side
Still now, as he did then.
His soul will help
Will guide you thru all this sadness
And then he’ll pass in time
To be in your heart forever
Never to leave again.
Please feel no regrets
He knows you done your best
Loved him like no one else
Could ever do.
Now is his time to hold you up
To steady, not to fall
For you see
He’ll forever be standing close by
The both of you
You and the man he loved
Called Steve.

Maybe It’s Okay
November 29, 2013
Maybe it’s okay
And maybe all right
But tonight it just
Doesn’t feel right.
Take care, be right
You’re not perfect
But definitely all right
In this dusky morning
Of tonight.

Maybe Behind In Time
November 28, 2013Maybe behind in time
Maybe not ahead of the crowd
But oh, joy is bestowed
Upon this road I’m travelling on.
Come be with me
Feel the passion in a love
Of beauty all around.
Go back in time
Feel the love, the joy
That does surround.

Coming out in the light of beauty
In someone else’s memory.

Soft And Fluffy White
November 25, 2013
Soft and fluffy white
Settling, blowing light
Blows across fields buried
In white snow.
A caw sounds the sound
That winter’s come
It’s all around
Listen, listen to that sound.

Birthday Boy You Are Today
November 24, 2013
Birthday boy you are today
Across the land
We celebrate this your day.
Happy Birthday!
Let it be a time to laugh
Celebrate that you be.
Many more I say
To you, you see
Happy, Happy Birthday be!

Beautiful White Neither Dark Nor Cold
November 23, 2013
Beautiful white neither dark nor cold
In the night holding close
Tender ones needing hearts warmed
By a cloak of soft winter snow.

Our Neighbour Died
November 22, 2013
Our neighbour died
He passed away
Gone to heaven
Just today.
Sadness, remorse
Deep regret
Don’t know what happened
Just yet.
Lights on, police car
Soft voices heard
All seems extremely quiet
Even calm.
Most likely
They can’t believe
He’s gone.
Passed away
In the night they say
Just heard he’s gone
Gone yesterday.
Great guy
No more to say
Our neighbour died
He passed away.
