Just beyond the sunset
Someone waits for me
Just beyond the sunset
Lies my destiny

If we can not respect another
How can we expect them to respect us
If we can not respect someone’s beliefs
How can we expect them to respect ours

A birthday poem for my wife

A star fell from heaven
Into my arms last night
...

Some roads are rough and rocky
Some very narrow to get through
But whatever road I travel
It always leads back to you
...

On days when the world
seems to be getting on top of you,
stop and look around,
give someone a little hug
...

I sat down to write
a romantic poem
confessing I love you.
However, I guess I’m not
...

I look in the mirror,
and what do I see?
A face with no future,
stares out at me.
...

Chasing rainbows
That should have followed the rain
Chasing old loves
‘cause no new loves came
...

An old shoe box under the bed,
filled with mementoes of years gone by.
Faded love letters stained with tears,
I used to cry.
...

Your memories fill each waking hour
You face fills each and every thought
Of the times we had together
That surface from the back roads of my mind
...

You fill my soul with sunshine
my heart with tender care.
You fill my world with happiness
knowing that you are always there
...

If I ruled the world,
many changes I would make.
It would be required
that happiness shone
...

All summer long he collected his nuts
Burying them here and there
When it came to dig them up
He couldn’t remember where
...

Too many times, we leave things until later
Sometimes later never comes and the moments are lost
We never get the chance to say the most important things
That is to say, I loved you and goodbye
...

A caring heart will never stray
even when its owner has to go away.
It will think of its happy home
dismissing thoughts of wanting to roam.
...

As each year begins to close,
we reflect over the passing one
remembering the highlights
along with the year’s woes.
...

Season of mist and mellow fruit,
Of blossom and scented air.
Bird song and busy bee,
seem to inhabit everywhere
...

Once upon a time not many years ago
a girl named Fred fell in love with a boy named Fran.
Although the names seemed an odd combination
and could easily be confused by people who did not know
...

When the snow is gone,
we will remember this winter
for a long time to come.
We will remember being told not to go to work,
...

You flew too high for any mortal,
when love first struck you,
but then one-day love didn’t sing,
and you ended up, an angel with a broken wing.
...
