I know once again
You are near to me
I feel your touch
Your breath breathing
Quietly
My heart pounds
My finger seek
To caress
The very essence of you
That be
To keep
Keep you forever
Here
Near to me

A Heart Touched
March 27, 2026
A heart touched
By a loving paw and a wet nose
Is a heart
Forever
Forever full.

Tender Hearts
March 13, 2026
Tender hearts do not break
They stand their ground
So very strong
Dear
To everyone They know.
They change lives
They show kindness, love
Will grow
In places so vacant
So cold.
Tender hearts
Only
Need a chance
A chance to embrace
The lost, the hurt.
Hold them
Till they too bestow
Tender heart’s kindness
To all
All they know.

The Sun Shines Bright
October 31, 2025
The sun shines bright
Radiating, glowing
with
all it’s might.
Let me not
be standing in the shadows
not feeling
its’ love, warmth, beauty
and
delight.

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.

Take Hold Of Me
October 17, 2025
Take hold of me
And please hold tight
Protect, guide me
Through the darkest night
Let no harm come to me
Or those I love
This I ask, I ask of you
My sweet love.

I Am A Survivor
October 3, 2025
I am a survivor
I survived hatred, anger
things
that made me a victim
I am a survivor
I came through
growing into someone
who understands how it happened
I am a survivor
Only hurt, remorse for those
who inflicted that hatred
that anger
I am a survivor
Have moved forward
built a life full of love, generosity
no hatred, some anger
I am
I am a survivor.

Maybe Tomorrow
September 26, 2025
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe
Another day
Maybe it’ll feel like forever
In the way you feel
Today.
But
Your end will come
In a moment
Or
It may have come
Yesterday.
Your purpose, your mission
Is
To live each moment
Each day
With joy and happiness.
So
When you close your eyes
For forever
You’ll smile
And
You’ll say
“That was fun
That was, a good day!”

Terrible Things
September 19, 2025
Terrible things have happened
Terrible things
Terrible things live
Exist.
We must live
Trying
Not to harbour
But
Eliminate
Those terrible things.
Not hear, feel
Allow
Those awful
Awful
Terrible things.

Hold Them Close
August 15, 2025
Hold them close
and
very tight
Feel your breath
breathe love
in the morning light
Let no soul travel
the path taken
all alone
No, never
never alone.
