chas garcia Poems

My therapist goes on and on says; there are things to be found,
things I Have to do.
not to look to close at the past, that did not last.
but of things in the future I must do.

The snow pack in the mountains,
catches every ones eyes.

that make you so special to me,
my friend.

I shall ask a child, what did you learn?
Today we shall count to 10, the alphabet to begin,
ABCDE&f will be the starters for today.

As I gaze out my window, I appreciate what I see,
as blue jays, finches, and their friends come
to visit me.
I ask, Do your wings ever get tired? Why are you fighting

The memories to linger on.
The days of wondering, the loneliness of not having you here
will linger on, a new life to begin.

Was all the entertainment that we had, for wishing and day-dreaming?
Was a way of life, for we did not have.
A nickel could be rare, change to spare, depending how you spent it,
there were endless ways to share.
...

Lost off the beaten path,
a little dot on the state road map.
