Moving forward is the only thing
The only way
With gentleness and resolve
Make your way
Walk your path into tomorrow
Living in today
Leave yesterday where it is
It’s had it’s time
It’s day.

Heaven Told Me
February 20, 2026
Heaven told me
not to tell
About the kind gestures
You gave to all that needed love
So I didn’t
I didn’t tell
Instead
I held you in my arm’s embrace
To let you know as well
You are loved
You are needed
But
Please don’t tell
For heaven needs you
Heaven wants you
There
To do your work of kindness
Cause
You do it oh so well.

Valentine’s Day
February 13, 2026
I met my love
A long time ago
And
Far, far away
On this day
This
Valentine’s Day.
We’ve travelled
Thru life
Together
Living, loving, laughing
Maybe
A little fighting
Whatever
Life brought us
On that particular day.
Looking back
I smile and say
Life has been good
Since
Way back
When I met my love
On
Valentine’s Day.

No One Knows
January 30, 2026
No one knows
Nor
Do they tell
Why the world turns
And
Doesn’t fall
Into hell.
Maybe it has
Maybe
There we are
No one knows
Nor
Do they tell.
over again.

Weep
January 23, 2026
My heart cries
My soul does weep
The heavens have opened up
And
Took my precious one to keep
I cry
I weep and weep.
Wait for me
For
I know when my time comes
I’ll seek to be with you there
No more, no more
To
Weep.

I Haven’t Been
January 16, 2026
I haven’t been
As close as I should have been
It seems life has dealt me
a heavy load
A load I think I need to carry.
Please, if you could
Let me see where
I can lay down
All that isn’t necessary.
Giving me
The time, the space
To be the one
You need, I need to be
For an blessed eternity.

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.

In The Beginning
December 19, 2025
In the beginning
And
The end
Life moves forward
Not waiting for
Amen
No one laughs or curses
No one needs to
For
In the beginning
We’re learning
And
At the end
We’ve done all
We need to
We’re
At the end.

Soldiers Soldier
December 12, 2025
Soldiers soldier
lovers love
Peace, tranquillity
come to those that soldier on
with love
Make me not
one
that believes
not in love
Make me a soldier
in that army conquering
hatred, prejudice
giving only
unconditional love.

Hold Your Hand
November 28, 2025
Hold your hand
Lead
Guide you on your way
The path may be difficult
But you have me beside you
All the way.
See no tragedy
Feel no anger
Taking you on the wrong path
Far, far away
Know I’m here with you
I’ll never leave your side.
And tomorrow
I know
You too, will be here
Next to me
Guiding me on my way
At my side.
