Cassie stands there
Fair of face
Kind and true
Full of grace

Dedicated to Tabitha Marie Utzig, Age 4
I slept with my favorite toys
Went swinging in the park
...
A new day dawns with colors red
The morning creeps across the bed
As I arise to start the day
...
The searing sun beats down
A birds cry shrieks from overhead
The silence stretches out...
Broken by the shout 'Batter Up! '
...
Attachments made
As years go by
First friends, then family
Laughter shared
...
It's time to celebrate a life
That's spanned a lot of years
Full of love and family
Good times, laughs and tears
...
The wind moans through brittle cracks
A quiet scraping at the panes
Outside a desolate, barren land
And a solitary ravaged tree
...
We’ve reached the twilight of our years
Outside the cold wind blows
But on the hearth a fire burns
And bathes us in its glow
...
A song by my niece Tabitha, Age 7,2014
Walking down the street and
I see you and my heart beats
...
He sits and stares
The paper crisp and clean
His mind in chaos
A torrent of words and sound
...
