When love flows through
In all we do and say
The best we have to give
We give away

Married Now
Your married now, you two,
I know you’re happy;
I’m sorry that
You didn’t want us there
I’d love to see you,
Knowing you’re ecstatic —
Then I recall that
You don’t really
Care
To share is human:
In The Deeps of Yesterday
There’s a truck out on the lawn
Back there where you used to play
When you were a little child
In the deeps of yesterday
In the trees beside the fence
Where the sunbeams never stray
Lie the things that you forgot
In the deeps of yesterday
Notches on the closet door
Showed your height along the way
But that closet long has slumbered
In the deeps of yesterday
Boys and girls and men and women
Grow and flourish and decay
And then lose a life of feeling
Mind’s decline, all mem’ries stealing
Lost in time with senses reeling
In the deeps of yesterday
To share is human:
Why, Indeed
Why should I come home? he texts,
There is nothing for me there.
So there’s not: there’s only us,
Only moments we could share.
Only life and only living,
Only taking, resting, giving.
But I know it’s too much bother
So, don’t bother.
Love,
Your Father
