Can I be
be the one
I need to be?
Can I be?
No one
answered
no one seemed to see
Then I heard
a quiet voice
say
Yes
you can
you can be.

The Crash On The Rocks
January 12, 2026
The crash
on
the rocks
the mounting sea
nothing
nothing is as beautiful
as
thee.

My Friend
January 9, 2026
Do I know you
Have you been
My friend?
Will I know that in times of trouble
I can count on you
Once more, once again?
Questions, answers
I say, ask
Over and over again
Still
I don’t know for certain
You really are
My friend.

My Warm Embrace
January 8, 2026
I hold you in my arms
do you feel
my warm embrace?
Do you know how much
I love you
or
is the feeling lost
gone
without a trace?
my heart knows
I love you
my mind accepts it
with grace
Now all I have to do
is to convey
this love
I have for you
deep within
this
my warm embrace.

No More To See
January 7, 2026
No more to see
no more
to do
everything done
and now
now it’s up to you
Can you do it?
Can you be the best
the world knows
the best you want to be?
Yes, you’ll be
all
that you want to
all the world needs
everything you asked for
everything
you want to be.

You Find Me
January 6, 2026
You find me
I try and find you
together we’ll muster
all our thoughts
and
really make it through
Our minds will create
a space
so pure, so true
Our arms will
embrace one another
bring us
to a world full of kindness
honesty
everything needed
to be best
of me
of
you.

Let Me Hear
January 5, 2026
Let me hear
the world sing
hear
bells chime
the wind
wail
knowing
that everything
breathes and lives
in the goodness
of
nature’s love
For all time.

Last Year
December 31, 2025
Saying goodbye
to what will soon be
last year
To the ones we lost
no more with us
in this
the coming year
To the memories
we made
the laughs we got
we gave
May we remember
the good times
not
the bad
May we move forward
in
love and grace
giving all
to make the world
a better place
Than
in
this last year
we lived
we had.

I Cope
December 23, 2025
I cope
with
what I have
I live with
that
that I know
I needn’t
worry
about tomorrow
or
even care
if it doesn’t show
I will exist
I will
grow
no matter
what happens
This is all I need to know.
