In all my days I’ve sought my best
And on that journey you bettered me
When I walked off course and to the left
You straightened my path with love
When you laughed, I couldn’t help but smile
And that compassion made my burdens light
At times to listen is all one needs
You did so and I felt understood
I wasn’t always [...]

There was once a little grasshopper who liked to rest in the path where humans walk. Sure there were other places to contemplate life and bask in the warmth of the sun, but he liked this place best.
Occasionally a human would walk by and with the quickness the grasshopper had come to pride himself on, [...]

Walking blindfolded, but I have trust
In the arm and voice that guides me
Without sight I see the soul
My eyes cannot lead astray
Focused on her words, her thoughts, her heart
A key to communicating is revealed
Speaking openly, I too address some feelings
Fear fades, understanding is felt & peace resides
In it all, honesty is offered willingly
To grease the [...]

picture books for unmet kids
dishes done together
open ears for lonely hearts
smiles changing weather
Boiled down, its pure intent

a peach with dripping goodness
sandy shells with pearly tint
sharing hidden spiderwebs
a picture of innocence
Honest words give service
An honest heart does too
Thus your gift of kindness
Has drawn [...]

There once was a lad ‘o long time ago
His bicycle, to be sure, was grand
The whitewalls were sturdy, the breaks in their prime
No equal did it have in the land
One sinister eve the man and his bike
Decided to challenge the law
Thought he, ‘If I’m quick, ‘ol Trixie and me
Can run and never be saw…seen.
So along [...]

Life keeps coming
I greet it and smile
Yet each moment, all the while
Divvying my finite time
Unorganized and unaware
I’m tied to my commitments
Passenger status replaces commander
I’m now captained by my life
Time set aside with friends
To pull my thoughts, to meditate
Refreshes and brings a light,
A semblance of ownership again
Goals are important once more
Attention daily spent on realignment
While many [...]

Back by popular request…well, alright, I just wanted to put it up here, but anyhow…it’s an oldie, but a goodie, one that definitely has withstood the test of time…in fact, I think it may be the only one. :o)
