I watched
as the storm moved in.
White clouds
began to darken.
Serious Poems
Rise
It’s not the life we were given
when we were sent down from heaven
that will determine our fate in the vast eternity.
It will be the choices we make
and all the little steps we take
to rise above and make better wherever we may be.
Home again
A day after her 18th birthday
she decided she had to get away –
she couldn’t ignore the dreams anymore.
So she taped a note to the door
and it said –
The lesson of the pearl
That girl in the mirror
When words hurt
The confrontation
I’m going to act brave.
I’m going to think I’m tall.
I’m not going to let you see
that I’m actually feeling small.
Forever starts today
The sun is shining up above
it’s the perfect day to declare their love.
Dressed all in white
they are starting this journey right.

He was working in his shop that afternoon,
when she stopped by to tell him the news.
He gave her his best grin,
and asked her, “When?”
She looked at her feet then into his eyes
and told him, “Sometime in July.”
Father’s Day
There is a man I know,
a common man he seems.
But all he does it shows
he has always loved me.
