I went for a walk, as I did each morn,
I picked up the mail which was always the norm,
A letter, a bill and two lousy flyers,
One for insurance and one selling tires.
Nothing seemed special, all was the same,
I looked a bit closer and saw something strange,
A black and white envelope there in the rack,
I scooped [...]

You are like the sun rising amidst the fog
You are like the flame of passion that lies within my heart
Your simple glance is like droplets of love caressing my soul
Your delicate touch entices my desire for you
You give new meaning to what unconditional love is, and from this i give you my heart forever

I want to fly high,
in the sky.
So I spread my wings,
with my eyes blink.
I dream of the Utopia.
with certain hysteria.
I took off high,
& leave all behind.
Suddenly things went wrong,
& among the throng.
I fell & hit the ground,
& people gather around.
I cried so loud ,
But my budy consoles me out.
He encourages me to fly again,
to learn [...]

Walking by a candy shop,
The sight of gumdrops made me stop,
And with a penny in my hand,
I entered into Candyland.
The smell of chocolate was distinct,
And then a sight caused me to blink,
As if in answer to my prayers,
I saw a million chocolate bears.
Some were dark and some were light,
And some were very, very white,
Some were [...]

I caught a turtle and a frog,
And then I tried to catch a hog,
But it would fight and make a squeal,
I didn’t know how it would feel.
I thought that it would play with me,
But it just wanted to be free,
To roll around in sloppy mud,
I loved this pig; I called it Bud.
Though it was just [...]

The little fawn
Woke up at dawn
To find, the doe,
His mother gone.
Where can my mother be?
This is not like her
To leave me.
He put a call
To Lady Loon
As well as to
Old friend mister Coon.
Both arrived that afternoon.
First they searched
The Glen
Where they said a prayer
Ending in Amen.
Next they searched the Glade
Where they met
An old milkmaid,
Who promised to aid.
A [...]

When God created
Land, sea and sky
Something was missing,
So that is why
He created marriage
To allow man and bride
To create
Their own children
And enjoy them
With pride.
Lauren and Kevin
Created their first child
Riley Terese
Who’ll need
loving care and devotion
For quite a while.
This beautiful child
Will cement Mom and Dad’s
Love for each [...]

He was riding on the very edge of sanity and hope,
He was standing on the precipice and couldn’t seem to cope,
He was fighting with the demons of a life he used to lead,
He was wounded in his soul, and it would bleed.
With emotions at the breaking point and tempers running wild,
Though he said he was [...]

“True story. Paul was a familiar character in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia in the 1970’s. I saw him many times walking the highway between the lakes. One day I gave him a ride.”
See the man walking down the highway.
He wears only ragged shorts and worn-out shoes.
His hair is long and stringy,
His skin is [...]

I’m sifting though the ashes of a time before today,
When all was gray and misty and I could not find my way,
A time when I was on my own and searching for a path,
To lead me to a better life, one free of pain and wrath.
The ashes are so plentiful they fill the earth and [...]
