This year’s Thanksgiving
is like a tweaked simile:

a healing light always shines.

I Remember John-John’s Third Birthday

My five-year-old eyes
watched a three year old salute
his daddy’s coffin.

You sang creation
into being.  You “sang” me.
Lord, teach me my song.

I did not take this photo, and do not know who did.  I had to run to the post office today, and saw the sign on our beloved “Maumee Indoor,” on my way.  Truly a sign of the times.

that a slower, simpler pace
is earth’s saving grace?

We wouldn’t suspect
the last time we visited
could be our last time.

I had kind of promised myself I would not get morbid during this PAD challenge. But here I am. I’ll try to write another poem that sparks a smile or a smirk. 😉

for we are all one.
