You chose me
I didn’t choose you
We are
so different
we wouldn’t
agree
on anything
I’m sure
too
Why have you come?
What will you do?
Not that I care
cause
you see
I didn’t choose you.

I Didn’t Choose You
May 21, 2026
I Hate To Say
March 26, 2026
I hate to say
what
I must say
there’s no other way.
I hope you hear
the words
I say.
I hope you
feel
their meaning
and
the feelings
my heart gives to them.
For then
together
may we walk
together.
Even though you
too
hate the words
I say.

I See What You Do
March 11, 2026
Slowly I see
what you do
what
you make
with no regard
for what
others think.
No you don’t
no
you do not.
You do your own thing
and
I’ll follow your example.
I’ll do everything
that
takes me on my own trail
my own path.
Maybe we’ll meet again
maybe not.
But
you showed me
my way.
By doing
what
you needed to
doing what you ought.

Hold Me
January 14, 2026
Hold me close
let me not see
the anger
all
the wretched happenings
Let me feel
safe
secure in your hold
let me not pass on
any nastiness
or
behold
I ask you
of
this
you so brave
and
so bold
Hold me close
tell me stories of success
generosity
and
kindness
all about to unfold.

You Don’t Get To Say
November 26, 2025
You don’t get to say
who I am
You don’t get to tell me
what to do
No, no
not you
I am the master
of
my universe
my own adviser
telling me
guiding
me
through
All you can do
is
join me on this venture
this life
I’m living
today and everyday
That’s
what you can do.

Go Jays Go!
November 3, 2025
The world turns
and
it cries
the Blue Jays
lost
by one
in overtime
They fought
their way
thru all the games
playing
strong
playing as one
all
the same
Win
with brilliance
lose
no shame
they made it thru
to
the seventh
the last
game
Hit with pitches
fly balls
caught
they battled
to
the end
when
to the Dodgers
they lost
But
In my heart
in
my mind
you are
Number One
no matter
if
the score card
shows
a loss
You played
with valour
power
and
strength
you are my hero
you are
the Best
darn baseball players
in
all the Game!

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.

Don’t Tell Me
September 12, 2025
Don’t tell me
I must be the same
same as you, not me.
Don’t tell me
my beating heart
doesn’t count.
Don’t tell me
my thoughts are just lies.
Don’t tell me
the tears I weep will never
bring back ones lost.
Don’t tell me this
I ask of you
I plead, I cry.

You Feel Me
September 10, 2025
You feel me
close
you feel my heart
I know you do
No words are spoken
no kisses
felt
yet in the future
I hope
I’m all
you think about.
