A Spring Clothesline
Rain falls on freshly raked grass Greening up will spruce along The freshness of spring surpass The calling of a new birdsong The humming of a happy lass Bringing in the clothes ere long Still flapping in a breeze that pass From yonder hilltop
Recovery Room
Bright light blazing me over room so warm and alive thirst I ne’er felt before waking - did I survive? I only remember for sure your promise to revive. Whose hand trembling more than I could ever contrive? Staff buzz around the floor hungry
My baby "B"
My little girl told me she loved a 3rd grader tonight and that he loved her too, it just got me thinking a little, life and time are so limited, live it up!!!
Memory lane…
As I enter the afternoon of life, I often pause to pay tribute to and to relish special memories… Kayaking on a gentle African river with my 3-year old daughter, Reliving the wonder, and awe in her eyes, Reliving her keen sense of alertness
An Apology To My Sister.
All I've wanted is for us to get on, Now i feel itsbecase of me you've gone. You are my sister and i just wanna talk, Its not my fault i had to walk. I had to walk away from our family, But i am here to help and talk if you need me.
God used a boat! (Again!) :-)
I wanted somehow to share with the poets corner the events of this tragic news - poetically, while attempting to make sense of it and also to give God the glory for sparing the lives of my Dad, my cousin and a young 10 year old girl that suffered life threatening injuries from the impact of my Dad's P/U - after it was thrust violently forward into the rear of her families vehicle. That Semi was said to be traveling at 65 M.P.H. when it slammed full force into my Dad's 'stopped' rig! 6 civilian vehicles were involved in that wreck! - No one died!! That's what I call "AMAZING GRACE!"

"A Child's Simple Need"
Just thinking of the tenderness of a child's heart and how something so small to us, can be so BIG for them. Parents... don't miss the chance to tell your children how much you love them!
Uncertainty
From the thoughts of a father who thought that he was to be, but ultimatel, there is only the Possibility.

Children Our Future
For the joy that my kids gave to me.
YOUR CHILDREN ARE WATCHING
I wrote this after my boys did something one day that copied a character trait and I thought how important it is when we, as parents exemplify the behaviour we would like to see eminate from our children.
For you God daughter
For you, Goddaughter It was a very special day The call arrived out of the blew Filled with an unspeakable joy The reason I was overjoyed was you! Your dad is my brother And the best without a doubt He is a very special man One I coul
