People live People die
People Laugh People Cry
Some give up Some will try
Some say hi Some say bye
Others may forget YOU but never will I.

Sweet Fruits are nice to eat,
Sweet words are easy to say
but sweet people are hard to find,

My goodness.......How did u find me?????

Wishes for Sons
i wish them cramps.
i wish them a strange town
I wish them no 7-11.

i wish them one week early
and wearing a white skirt.
i wish them one week late.

later i wish them hot flashes
and clots like you
wouldn't believe. let the
flashes come when they
meet someone special.
let the clots come
when they want to.

let them think they have accepted
arrogance in the universe,
then bring them to gynecologists
not unlike themselves.

Audrey died within my arms,
Undone in infancy.
Despite my helplessness, I felt
Resplendent dignity.
Each soul's a naked gift of grace,
Yet loved by us and Thee

Aunts and uncles are like sunlit days:
Under their bright smiles children bloom.
No parents can remove, in just the ways
That aunts and uncles do, mid-morning gloom.
So when children need some extra love,
Aunts and uncles are like natural springs:
No tap need turn, nor word need passions move.
Deep down within the sparkling pleasure sings.
Until all parents are like Eden's garden:
Never less than innocent perfection,
Children well might learn, before they harden,
Lessons in disinterested affection.
Even as a smile lights a face,
So may aunts and uncles childhood grace

A father and a dad are not the same:
One can be a dad and not a father,
Or one can be a father and not bother
To earn through love the more endearing name.
Some find fatherhood a bit too tame,
Leaving all the details to the mother,
Or dumping the sweet burden on another
Man with just a passing twinge of shame.
You have been our dad so many years
That you've become the landscape that is home,
The mountain that we look to from afar.
No matter where we go we're not alone,
For you remain within to still our fears
And be the word that tells us who we are.
