Drowning

Drowning in sorrow

Wrapped in self-indulgent woe

Self-pity’s dark hold

Brings me down even lower

As I try to stay afloat…

Stretched

Stretched to the limit

Pressure pulling tight and taut

Strained and stressed within

Pressed as hard as one can be

Any further, and I’ll snap…

POTATO
TOMATO
PATCH

In a patch, a potato met a tomato,
Said the potato, “You red thing, you’re quite a hero!”
The tomato replied, “And you, my friend, are the best spud,
Together in this patch, we make the perfect dud!”

Precise, holding fast,

Stitching fabric and story,

Securing our world

Making some sense of it all 

Can seem like a fool’s errand…

Nature’s sharp embrace,

Talons grasp with fierce control,

Survival’s strong hold

Grips quite tightly as they hunt

All hinges in their success…

Balancing act, light,

Softly touching the earth’s floor,

Dancers’ silent grace

Like swans in a glassy lake

Gentle movements as they glide…

ACCEPTANCE
REJECTION
DISAPPOINTED

In life’s winding road, we seek acceptance,
Hoping for love and inner peace,
But faced with rejection, we feel the sting,
Leaving us disappointed, searching for release.

The Man With a Heart of Gold


A man with a heart of gold
Everyone who meets him, their hearts unfold
A smile that lights up the darkest room
With him around, there’s never any gloom

His determination, an inspiring sight
No challenge too big, he’ll take it on
With him by your side, you’ll never feel alone

His love for life, infectious and true
He’ll do anything for the people he knew
A friend to all, he’ll lend an ear
His advice, always sincere

So here’s to a man like no other
May his light continue to shine forever
In our hearts, he’ll always stay
A man in every single way.

Left everything in your enchanting act
