(2015)
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
The teenage rebels All fall in line Be they hippies Goths, rockers or skaters Moving from one mould
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray
