Close by
and
very close
the world seems
to fly by
We watch it go
wondering
should we be
onboard
or
just let it ride
let it go?

The Merry-Go-Round
April 15, 2026
Round, round
the merry-go-round
we go.
Not a thought
in
the world
just round
round
the merry
the merry-go-round.

The Hope
April 9, 2026
The hope I had
the hope
I say
will take me thru
this day, all days.
I don’t
have to say
a word out loud
or
think the feeling
but
send it
up to the clouds
where rain will bring it
down
upon all creatures
big and small
giving hope
to today
and
forever to us all.

Keep Me Whole, Keep me Sane
April 8, 2026
Keep me whole
keep me
sane
all the rest I’ll handle
as
I pass down the road
to
the lane.
I may
not
know everything
I may
be
just a little spoke
in
all the world’s happenings.
This I know
but
if
you keep me whole
keep
me sane
I’m positive
I can do almost anything.

When I Look Back
March 30, 2026
When
I look back
I see a life so different
so not
the present me
My heart
beats
my eyes see
but
not the way
the way it use to be
Maybe
I’ve grown
maybe I’ve lived
different lives
from an enfant
to
that young girl
oh so lost, asking why
Then
I seen my life
my existence
in a frame
of nature’s beauty
full of kindness
and
singing so sweet
It became the basis
of
how I live
how
I enjoy and love
Letting go
of
anger
sadness so bleak
those things lived
back there
in
yesterday
Those things I now do not seek.

St Pat’s Day
March 17, 2026
St Pat’s Day
is
special
in
a multitude of ways.
The snakes left
shamrocks blew in the breeze
while
elves and fairies
did as they pleased.
All the rest danced
a jig
in the green grass
under
restless trees.

Peace And Quiet
March 9, 2026
Peace and quiet
is
what I get
with
sounds of silence
I won’t forget.
Moving softly
beneath the sky
looking
trying my best
not to cry.
For above
and
all around me
beauty reigns
not speaking
anything.
Yet
clearly
I hear a sweet refrain
echoing, echoing
all through
this magnificent terrain.

Tired Of Angry
March 5, 2026
Tired of angry
sick
of
hate.
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll go down
to
the shore
sit and wait
for
the waves
to wash in goodness
so
pure
so great.
Never again
to
be lost
in
the wilderness
of
someone
else’s demented hate.

Give Me Strength
March 4, 2026
Give me strength
give me
health
the rest I’ll recover
along
with
everyone else.
There’ll be
no shortcuts
no crossing the line
I’ll do it
on
my own sweet time.
So come along
join me
travelling your own path
to
happiness
and
security.
Making sure
it
lasts, lasts
and
lasts.

I Have Heard You Call
March 2, 2026
I have heard
you call
I’ve seen your face
in
dreams
those dreams
of
yesterday
Even thou there shows
no trace
my heart knows
you were here
you cared
with
no remorse
Yes
you may be gone
from
this my life
but
in my heart, my head
your presence
is
still so strong
I’ll go forward
in
those steps
steps you made
steps
you tread upon.
