Sometimes its hard, Hard to think, Hard to see, Hard to write, Hard to be. Then I look out my window. I think of the sun's gentle strength, I see the life it lets live. I open my books, And I remember how words can give. Sometimes its easy, Easy to love, Easy to believe,... Continue Reading →
Last night
Last night you let me help with dinner. My hands were working on a meal for more than one. I saw your table set. I love that I saw a table set. Last night we all sat together. My body fit so neatly into that family room. The couches and love seat filled so lovely,... Continue Reading →

Things I will do
Because its National Poetry Writing Month... I will believe I'm good, So that I can be. I think of you well, So that you might join me. I will do my dishes, So that my place is clean. I will put my clothes away, So you'll think of how good I've been. I will read... Continue Reading →
