(2014)
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
A family trait Massage Is our vice No shame Take what
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
