Pain in the Knee
September 29, 2023 I’m not sure how it works when my knee is in pain.Can it get in my head and then impact my brain?It’s my knee that is hurting it’s not in my head.Can a pain in my knee … Continue reading
September
September 7, 2023 Already September, I’m ready for fall.It’s time for a cold front, I pray it won’t stall.It’s time for cool evenings, a chill in the air,An end to the heat, it’s a festive affair. I pray that those … Continue reading
Take Time
July 16, 2023 Don’t wait for a blowout to cause you to stop.Take time to pull over, see blossoms on trees,Hear birds as they sing, see the cotton tails hop.Sit down with the flowers that wave in the breeze. The … Continue reading

Aging
March 23. 2023 I’m not quite sure when I grew old.My body’s now a bit more frail.I bundle more against the cold.A brisk north wind feels like a gale. It doesn’t seem that long agoThat I could run a faster … Continue reading
Journeys
February 16, 2023 As a youth I would roam in the woods with my friends.We’d build cabins and forts from old logs made of pine.Life seemed much easier, simpler back then,Each day an adventure, no reason to whine. As we … Continue reading
