If You’re 60…
You come to realize…
Flowers & duct tape can fix
Anything…
...

Life...the great equalizer
Nobody has measured how much a heart can hold.
iN this great world of people, in poverty...or wealth...in sickness, or health...in social skills or maladjustments...blessings or adversities...who can measure another's heart? Who can tell how much it holds? Who is to say...'all things work out for them? ' Who is to say who holds the advantage?
Supposing I believe there are those that have an advantage...who will bring us to the same threshold of love... when those, in return, may be thinking the same thoughts, believing the same things. Who is to say who needs no healer and who needs to be healed? Mankind is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward and only the span of life will tell the whole.

It was in an old-time flivver
Over-looking long brown hillsides,
Where the wind was blowin’ everything around,
We could still remember good times,
...

Michele...have I loved

Gather my children together,
And talk to them tenderly;
...

Love Worth Loving
(written after the last child left home)
I heard the tolling of the bell
Each ticking of the clock,
...

My cell phone rang…hmmm…I wonder what now?
Who’s it from? The question furrowed my brow.
I picked up the phone, all across the dark screen,
I prayed, Lord, could you please intervene?
...

Sometimes…There is a Last
Usually…we don’t realize
As through this life we go…
We do our little daily tasks,
...

Thank You, Son
Often we kneel in the quiet of the day
And breathe your name as we bow and pray.
We think of our children, who left our home
...

My Dad...
If I could have a lifetime wish, a dream that would come true
I’d pray to God for all our hearts, for yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back, I know because I tried
...

What a Life
I have the world's best occupation
Being a farmer's wife,
We till the soil together
...

Build a bridge, come walk with me to the other side,
Where no one ever stands alone...
Where memories linger...spend a moment...
When you're gone and only the stars know where you are,
...

How Far Away is Heaven

Tear-stained faces at the window,
Clutching tightly a blanket frayed;
...

The choir arose in their robes so divine,
The director's rod struck the air just in time,
Together, they lifted their voices in Praise,
They lifted their hearts on this day of all days.
...

Life...the Great Equalizer
Who is to say who needs no healer
Who is to say, 'Who needs to be healed? '
Mankind is born to trouble
...

If I could just have one little wish granted,
I would change the view of my listeners that's slanted,
I would say to you all, "Just come on in! "
There is much more to me than my crepe paper skin.
...

(In memory of Royce David)
With rosebud fragrance on his brow
So sweet and tiny was this child,
Fresh dew of Heaven on his cheek

Brett’s Final Ride

God gave you, Brett, a life so short
A journey laced with pain
...
