It was only later
After seeing him hooked up to a ventilator
...
Standing at the kitchen sink
My wife quips "you are one happy person"
It is right there and then I realized
...
I think oftwhat it would be like to be one of them
To look at the world through rose colored glasses
...
Oft I ponder the quest that I have been delivered upon
Whilst laying in the midst of a field of straw
...
She has been the twinkle in my eye
Since we were knee high
The girl next door
...
It is like there are two parts, the watched and the watcher
The watcher seeing a struggle to find love
An essential ingredient to happiness and self fulfillment
...
He thought it was just a game well played
Sitting here in the grass and shade
He never wanted to hurt anyone
...
The scroll bar for anapplication
takes forever to get to your year of birth
The creaks you hear are your bones
...
The Flower - A Tribute ©
Thank you flower for the wonderful bouquet you present to me
...
Actively achieve
Beautiful bounty
Ceremoniously created
Doing deeds
...
In my world there would be no wars
Parliaments would agree to agree
Any sort of "ism" would have become obsolete
We would develop color blindness to skin tone
...
What an amazing thing it is
the center of the highways and byways of humanness
A rhythmic beating that stirs the soul
...
Went to get a card for my loved one
There it was all shiny and new
Held together with paper and glue
...
If I was a kitten
Maybe I wouldn't be so smitten
It's as though I've been bitten
...
Tick tock goes the clock
Sometimes fast sometimes slow
Especially Fridays ergo
...
I wake up with a start, it is back and I know what it is!
Why else would I wake up at 3: 00 a.m. in the morning?
Why else would my heart be racing?
Why else would my pulse be pacing?
...
When I am here, I miss being there
When I am there, I miss being here
When I am in solitude, I miss companionship

It was only later
After seeing him hooked up to a ventilator
That I realized what he had said
And a reflection came that I would later retread
For deep down inside I always knew
That my dad was there for me as I grew
He was harsh and intense on occasion
Some would even call it abrasion
But there was that other side
When we were alone me along for the ride
He did his duty as a father
Bringing home the bacon with little bother
But the lessons taught
Were what I bought
How to strive
To stay alive
To be the best I can be
For all to see
Have kindness for my fellow man
Help wherever I can
Be a father to a son
Be there to protect everyone
Give a care
If you dare
That tomorrow will be a better day
When you get ego out of the way
As I sit here to lament
I recall those lost words he had repent
After waiting all those long years
And though he is long gone they still bring me tears
Those lost words you ask "I love you…"
