Autumn has arrived.
Trees decked out in Joseph’s coat
Reds, yellows, orange, rust, green
And every hue in between.
Leaves dancing and fluttering in the wind
Drop to earth
In a dizzy spin.
This wonderful display
Is short lived.
Winters winds will soon move in,
Earth takes on a
Different glow
With the arrival of first white snow.
Bundle up and brave the cold
Use both hands
Your hat to [...]

“Tell the bunch around Market Street
My face no more they’ll view;
Tell them I’ve CAUGHT A FAST FREIGHT……
AND IM GOING STRAIGHT OH THROUGH!
Tell them not to weep for me-
NO TEARS IN THEIR EYES MUST LURK-
For I am going to a BETTER LAND,
Where they hate the word called WORK.
HARK! I hear her WHISTLING!
I MUST CATCH HER ON [...]

80 Summers,
to bask under the sun.
Experience,
before all is undone.
Limits of life,
are to open your eyes.
To let you see,
beyond your current dreams.
Breathe in the day,
soak in the rays.
Listen to the rustle,
watch the tree sway.
Passion for life and love,
for everyone.
Be who you are again,
a single day.
For a single day now,
forget your pain.
Free yourself from life’s strains,
and let [...]

Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]

I’m down in the dirt and I’m scrounging around,
I’m looking for mushrooms wherever they’re found,
(Oh, look at the pretty pink clouds in the air),
I hope that I find a few mushrooms somewhere.
I know they are healthy, or so I’ve been told,
The ones that are shiny, not covered in mold,
(A pretty blue bunny is looking at [...]

“Welcome, my child, I’m glad you are here,
Where there is no sorrow, worry or fear,
Now open the gift I have given to you,
A life of abundance, accepted by few.”
The gates were swung open, and that which I saw,
Both kept me in silence, and left me in awe,
The City of God, with its streets of pure [...]

Walking With Elianaย
ย
I like to walk
with Eliana
Her steps are
ย short and slow like mine.
We never have to
Hurry up
We always
Take our time.
We look and examine everything
We find along the path.
We giggle
At the simplest things
And Eliana makes me laugh.
This little girl
ย So inquisitive
ย Has many questions
To [...]
