Old Sonnets
December 9, 2022 We respect the old poets, each line that they wrote,Like musical lyrics in need of a note.We love the old verses, the crafting, the style,They lodge in the heart and they stay for a while. We quote … Continue reading
Bits and Pieces
December 7, 2022 A snuggled down Lucy asleep in my lapA time to curl up and to finish her nap.As I sip on my coffee and stroke her soft furI capture my thoughts as they stretch, and they stir. The … Continue reading
Roots
December 6, 2022 I cherish my heritage, east Texas roots,The mem’ries of Christmas, a new pair of boots,The lights, decorations, the carols we sang,I love country carols, a slight touch of twang. Our house had some lights and a wreath … Continue reading

Free to Sing
November 9, 2022 I pray that soon I’ll laugh once more.I’m often much too focused now.I ponder what life has in storeAs though I’m in control somehow. I do my best, I live each day.I’m prone to think I’m in … Continue reading
The Choice
November 8, 2022 The challenges I see today,The ones that cause such fierce debate,Seem rooted in the Devil’s play.It’s something that I contemplate. Diversion tactics, “Focus here.Don’t think about a life a stake.An easy choice, don’t shed a tear.It’s quickly … Continue reading
God’s Gifts
October 30, 2022 To discover the gifts God has placed in our souls,To give God the glory while doing our best,Is the key to success and achieving our goals.If we give them to God, He takes care of the rest. … Continue reading
