Mother dear, you are close to my heart,
Close to my heart, we shall never part,
As your mother did to you, you shall do to me,
For we have something in common, we three,
...

The sapphire blue waves on the shore
Caused the seagulls to want to soar,
The evergreen trees waved hi
As the wind whistled by,
...

On and on the water raced,
Faster, faster, it quickened the pace,
Then suddenly, it flew up high,
Up so high it touched the sky,
...

Up and up the breeze flew,
Up to the sky, up so high,
This breeze you see, wanted to be somewhere,
Somewhere were no one would dare,
...

A furry ball of love,
A present from above,
It catches the mice,
That steal our rice,
...

(dedicated to my cat who was run over by the train near our house)

My loved one, I miss you so,
When I first heard the news, I cried, ” Oh no, it can't be true! '
...

I sit here in the peace and silence of nature,
I hear two words, 'I Am, '
That's it, no more than, 'I Am, '
Calmness pours over me,
...
