We must remember with hearts filled
With emotion seeing the way
Those who fought for freedom
On this very day.
Somber moments seeking the truth
Listening heartbeats showing the route.
You battled in cold, fought in the dark
Never once saying no more, so far.
Onward, forward you did advance
Not thinking or fearing any consequence.
Battles are fought, some never won
But moments of glory reign
Showing the courage
Of our daughters, our sons.
Hold that courage proudly
You stood in the moment
You wear the battle scar.
All I can do is salute and give honour to
The brave soldier you are.

Burr it’s cold
Burr what’s next
To unfold?
Wind is blowing
Leaves are gone
Flocks of geese
Not to be found.
Winter today could unfold
Cause burr, burr
It’s really cold.

Feels good
This membership in a club
Called love.
Keeps me serene
Surrounded
By a lasting theme.
Grateful
Know it needs to be
To keep me in my sanity.
Genuine
Nothing speaks better truth
Better than anything
Anything else.
Please
Keep me humble
In the midst
Of all your loving care.
Feels good.

Never in November
Never again
Never remember
Those awful times when.
Put ’em in a closet
Shut the door
And stay away.
Cause
Never in November
Is just another day.

Looking in the mirror
To see a reflection
Of my life
Looking back at me.
I must smile, laugh
For, forever she will stay
In my life
In a quiet, supportive way.

Here in my life I have a purpose.
As do we all.
Mine is to make art beautiful.
To fulfill me, make my soul glow. To love, cherish, embrace the intangible
and make it real, touchable, to caress, to feel in your heart.
A living art created within my mind and expressed by my hand.
This is my purpose in this, this life of mine.

Think the thoughts
That are beautiful
Think the ones that need to be
While treasuring times past
Dwelling in your memory.
