Flight Home.
My Mother in law went to the Church of Adam & Eve in Dublin to pray and was struck by a vehicle on her exit. Sadly she passed away a short time later. I wrote this for the family. The arms in the air are her children desperately trying to pull her back.
For My Wife
This is about my wife who fought cancer three times before,and then it came back ever stronger and finally took Her. To All Women I'll say this please have whatever check ups You can so if You end up with cancer You may have the chance to fight it,and possibly win the fight.My wife did so the three other times,but sadly She didn't stop smoking till after that third time. I believe if she had,then possible She would still be here.This cancer appeared in the lungs,Cancer can be very deadly,so please do whatever to protect Yourself.
19 Fire Fighters - June 30, 2013
The saddness of the last two days is something I can't begin to describe. The details of this horrilbe and tradgic event are etched in my mind. I can't begin to understand what these families and the friends of these men are feeling. I wrote this poem, here and now and share it with heavy heart. I ask for your prayers also for these families. The unborn children who will never know their fathers. I ask for a moment of silence. A moment to reflect and find some gratitude from this day. Make an amends. Tell those you love that you love them. Life is short, precious and unpredictable. Blessed be.

Witness
Seeing where it ends - all life under a cold stone with inscription Like a pressure cabin to keep the memory fresh Is it real? Or are we only afraid to forget? Actually, more afraid to be forgotten ourselves Once in time - when no sign marks our
Ballad of the Drunkard

Ever With Me (For My Mom)
I wrote this piece for my mother, who passed away Feb 23, 2013, after a long battle with cancer and other complications. I consider her one of the bravest people I've ever known. She was a true warrior in her fight. I say a special prayer for all those who have had to say good-bye to their mothers. It's a sting that never goes away. Thanks for having a read.
