Joy Malumphy Poems

I was granted an opportunity
To pass on my personal legacy,
Teaching love, courage and integrity
To each one of my three offsprings.
...

Deep amongst the rocks, dirt and land,
I am pressed beneath layers of sand.
Wiggling, wobbling, I shutter and squirm
Hidden from varmints, insects, and worms.
...

I chose to bounce into this earthly life
filled with hope, promise and a bit of surprise.
Challenged by a world of stubborn wills
raising me as your child, became quite a bill.
...

Arthur appears stoic and tall,
Studded in a cloak of armor, saddled like a pedestal
...
