THE FORGOTTEN VETERAN
It is now Memorial Day 2018 - please take time to remember those that "All gave some and Some Gave All" who served/wounded/died defending our Country. 11/2017: Veterans Day - please honor our Vets! In our area we have had 2 or 3 younger Veterans commit suicide in the past 2 weeks. Very upsetting statistics. We need to support the men and women who have given their time and a lot for our protection.
An Angels Shame
Angel has been burned. Falling with smoking wings. Earthbound she is spurned. On and on till it stings. Heaven forgets her face. As she crashes into ground. With outstretched arms knowing, She'll never be found. And yet, No one cries for

Eyes of a Country Girl
There is much to be said about life growing up and living on a small farm in a small town.
Forgotten
I never met you on that date, we never connected it wasn't great. We didn't talk The night away, we didn't really have much to say. We never laughed at each others jokes. There was no eye contact or chemistry at all. You weren't

At first not caring that some statues and memorials were being removed. As well as the naming of schools, highways, buildings, etc. I thought that I understood. But it seems as though there is no end to it. Eventually, there will be no nami

My heart
My heart may slumber in The shadows at times Frail man that I am My courage may be tossed By fearful winds My understanding dim But smiles were painted before The foundation of the world and Found my cheek in the shadows Now on eagles wings
A womans kiss
A womans kiss might find you On some dusty old trail You might catch a glimpse of Her smile as her fingers glide Through her hair But there is a book never read By man hidden in the cave of Desire It reveals the secrets of her mystic Charms
Strange Meetings
The subject of this poem bears no resemblance to Wilfred Owen's prophetic poem set in WW1. I just thought of how, when you get to a certain age, your life seems to be punctuated by these "strange" meetings. And yet to quote another author, "we beat on, boats against the current."
Four Seasons......One Love !
In a sharp fresh breeze, On a crisp Spring day, Hand in hand in verdure stroll, Under lush chirping trees, Among flowering buds stray, New birth, and new love to extol. On a balmy Summer's eve, When the butterflies dance, In the meadow we f
