When friends are gone
Family is there for you, but you feel the need for a one on one friend.
When you failed at your test, when your dreams seems far fetched, when you are alone, no one around who truly understands you.
Not a friend remained in spite of how they claim to have known you.

“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 [...]

Soaring High
I wish I were an Eagle
Soaring high in God’s blue sky.
Effortlessly flapping its wings
Taking it ever high.
Surveying the earth beneath
Sharp eyes taking all in
Searching a likely prey
A tasty meal for him.
Swooping swift as a bullet
Feathers fluttering in the wind
A hare, a fish, a bird
His talons soon will win.
Back to the aerie
Three hungry chicks [...]

Pouring Out Your Heart
Saying what is really in your heart
Indeed, a very difficult task.
All kinds of things pass through your mind
And asked to explain
Would be rather hard to impart.
How do you tell someone?
How much you love them
Without becoming emotional
Tripping over every word uttered sincerely
From the heart.
There are so many different kinds of [...]

A city boy dreams of what life on a farm would be like.

ย ย ย ย Wintertime on the farm was always looked forward to with great anticipation, because it meant less chores and more time for recreation. When the snow began falling, I felt a certain satisfaction, because it meant endless skiing and [...]

“Daddy, Daddy, let me come to work with you today”,
She stood there sobbing as I drove away,
And in the rear view mirror I saw her crying as she waved,
And felt my heart break one more time again.
Everyday was just the same; I said she couldn’t come,
My days were busy and I hadn’t time,
To hold my [...]
