Tiny tables, talking:
Listening, and looking —
Easy-baking brownies,
Crafts in making, cooking —
Story time, and steady:
Shimmering and shiny —
Glowing girl, so precious,
Flowing time, so tiny
Little Girl
Come Have A Glass
Come have a glass, the day is done,
The battle fought, and almost won,
And night is calling to the heart
Together lives that fall
Apart
To share is human:
Surroundings
We look, and what we see can quite
Astound us;
For our surroundings will, in fact,
Surround us.
We make our choices, but then don’t
Believe it;
As though we gain a thing, but don’t
Receive it
To share is human:
Chances and Limits
Some days pass without a glance,
But look around if you’ve the chance,
For time will steal your life away:
So live as though you’ve just
Today
Some days pass, and they are good,
Although it’s little understood
That much of living’s letting go
And knowing that we do not
Know
To share is human:
Counting Sheep?
I find it hard to sleep,
And weird, when day is done,
To fail at counting sheep,
Because there’s only one.
I really should get more,
But this I can’t afford;
Because I’m rather poor,
Except with being
Bored
To share is human:
Winter’s Edge
On winter’s edge
We shivered long,
But hate though loud
Is never strong
As what the world
Would have us think:
On winter’s edge
We reached
The brink
To share is human:
Built of Laughter
Though one day, there’s an “after”,
At least I know for now
That love is built of laughter,
And we’ll get through, somehow.
Though life is rife with sorrow,
And platitudes, and noise,
It really is in simple things
We find our greatest joys.
To share is human:
The Noise
The noise, it closes in;
It takes my mind away
To where it shouldn’t go,
And where it’s bound to stay.
I wish it wasn’t so.
A life of diff’rent shape —
But all this noise is mine to hear
And I cannot
Escape
To share is human:
Atlantic Shores
Down Atlantic shores
She walks and wonders freely,
Full of an old dread:
That love will not be enough
To overcome circumstance
