I know
you haven’t been
all
I want you to be
But
Have I been
all
you need
all you seek?
Likely not I feel
I see
I think.

You Haven’t Been
November 25, 2025
Constantly In The Morning
November 24, 2025
Constantly
in
the morning
Totally
all
the day
I’ll move forward
singing praises
for
those
that made
it
this way.

Can I Be
November 20, 2025
Can I be
the one you love
Can I be?
Your heart is open
full of kindness
expressing gentleness
it seems
But is it for me?
Can I be
the love you love
for
all eternity?
Can I be?
I hope so
for
I love you
all so much
you see.

Look Back Friday
November 14, 2025On Fridays, I usually look back two years and revisit something I wrote during this same month. I call it ‘Look Back Friday’
Today, the piece I want to share is a poem I originally wrote for Remembrance Day in November 2018, and first brought back again in 2022. Now, I feel compelled to bring it forward once more and share it with you. . .
I Heard The Wild Goose Call
I heard the wild goose call
I heard her plaintive tone.
I bowed my head in honour
Of all those left
Left alone.
On the field of war and anger
In the battle
No one wins alone.
I heard the wild goose call
Come
Come bring your brave soldiers home.

We Remember
November 11, 2025
We remember
we don’t
forget
all those who gave us
this life
we enjoy, we live
In gratitude
we
honour
we give our best
to
those that served
They are the
ultimate
They are the
Best.

The future is mine

it is yours
Let’s journey

Me

and
you with yours.

I Hold My Hands
October 21, 2025
I hold my hands
I close them
tight
I feel the glory
in
all their might
They will cheer
the good, great fight
they will fall silent
in
mourning
the world’s sad plight
I hold my hands
thankful
they can show the world
my delight.

Sometimes
October 20, 2025
My Seeing Eyes
October 16, 2025
I close my eyes
covering up all
I surmise
to be
awful
to
my seeing eyes
Tomorrow when
I open up
my eyes
see the beauty, the wealth
in
all the clouds
the skies
Then I’ll know
I don’t have
to
really close
my eyes
For that beauty
is
all around
whether
they are closed or open
to
these
my seeing eyes.

My Heart Cringes
October 14, 2025
My heart cringes
my eyes do cry
for
the times of happiness
gone
passed by
I hope
tomorrow shows
some delight
I hope
I’ll find peace
and
rest quietly
tonight.
