The Return
At a time of sorrow, it is hard to believe
That the sun will once again shine.
That's when it seems you do nothing but grieve,
With all joy being left far behind.
At a time of sorrow, it is hard to believe
That the sun will once again shine.
That's when it seems you do nothing but grieve,
With all joy being left far behind.
We are never finished products,
No matter how long we live.
There's always something we can add,
Like learning to forgive.
in Compassion Poems
Perpetuating hatred--
It's happening every day,
While many who contribute
Would be the first to say,
in Change Poems
What will it take to free this mind,
Imprisoned long in apathy,
Now reduced to mundane thoughts
That stultify activity?
Let everyone gather
With no heartaches or tears.
Let the bright memories flow
From all the past years.
Is there anything as tranquil
As a brightly glowing jonquil
That stands in sweet serenity,
A part of nature's tapestry?
in Aging Poems
I realize I've reached the time
When it's very plain to see
That I now must be selective
In what my preferences will be.
What does it take to be a volunteer?
Must you travel afar, or is there someplace near
Where there is a need that is evident--
Where someone would think you were heaven sent
I was in a room the other day
Where seeds were being planted.
I could only hope and pray
Their growth would not be granted.
Outside my window flowers bloom
In a rampant disarray.
They pay no heed to color schemes
In their wonderful display.
