The time will come
when every knee will bow
and tongue confess
Serious Poems
Mary, Wife of Joseph
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart – Luke 2:19
“Husband, husband are you awake?
I must tell you about my day.
Husband, are you listening?
Please, hear what I have to say.
Tiny Angels
For Sandy Hook
We listened in horror.
There was no making sense.
The pain one lost soul
causes with an act of violence. Continue reading
Time
If you allow it, there is no
physician’s touch that can heal
like time –
Unless the wound is infected
with that poisonous toxin
regret.
So, how you choose to fill your days
will determine your state
of mind –
Will you let time mend old hurts
or will you cling to all that
past debt?

The Race
If life were a race for us to run
we have tools to guide us to victory:
Faith is believing there is a finish line
even though hidden from what we see.
Hope is trusting we will cross the finish line
even though we may be weary.
Charity is ensuring when we cross the line
we have plenty of company.

The Fool

causing ruckus?
This scene is quite the ado

Most Thankful For
Get Behind Me, Little Devil
I wake up,
the sun is shining
the new day brings
hope.
“Bring on the day,” I say.
“You will fail today,” says the little voice on my shoulder.
“Ha!” I laugh. “I know who I am. I know my plan. I will conquer the day!”
I affirm boldly.
One Little Tree
photo by MM Lee
I am one little tree
one little tree as you can see
as you can see I stand alone
I stand alone where my seed was sown
my seed was sown downhill from the rest
the rest of the trees are up by the crest
up by the crest they share water and sun
water and sun I get since I’m only one
I’m only one to stand against the gale
against the gale sometimes I want to fail
I want to fail when I’m alone during this test
during this test I have no guard like those by the crest
by the crest with all the rest has some perks
some perks but also a few quirks
a few quirks so it’s all right with me
all right with me to be one little tree.
If I Said Goodbye
If I said goodbye, bye, bye –
would you even cry, cry, cry?
If I said goodbye, bye, bye –
would your eyes be dry, dry, dry? Continue reading
