Childhood Memories

Childhood memories, fading fast
If only we could make them last
Stories by the Brothers Grimm
Memories that are often dim
Those books we cherished as a child
When things were often meek and mild
Where are they now?
Have they found a good home?

Childlike Faith

What is it about the faith of a child?
Even the poorest of the poor
Are rich in faith
Even when their bellies are empty
There is a smile on their faces
Perhaps it is that they know nothing
About the worries of this world
But these children know h...

Little boxes, on a hillside
Little boxes, made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes all the same
There's a green one
And a blue one
And a pink one
And a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all looky ju...

Life in the City

I've always wondered what it would be like...
To live in the city
To rely on public transportation
To blend in among the masses
And have so many choices of things to do
But I think I would miss the solitude of a smaller town
Going for a walk in th...

As my parents quickly approach the end of their lives I've been doing quite a bit of reflecting on my past, my dysfunctional family, and how much various parts of my upbringing have and do effect my life today. Within a few short years, or sooner,...
Heroes Buried Neath the Ground

Someone's son, someone's daughter
Someone's husband, wife or lover
Fields of gravestones all around
Heroes buried neath the ground
They went to war to keep us free
They died to give democracy

Confessions of a Certifiable "Foodie"
posted over 2 years ago, updated 2 minutes later | 3 comments
I love good food, presented beautifully on a white plate with the right mixtures of texture and color. I'm very adventurous too, and will try just about anything at least once. I love sauces and spices and as long as I have a nice glass of white w...
Castles in the Sand

I gaze upon the castle in the sand
And dream about some faraway land
Where a prince on his charger would carry me away
These were the things I dreamed of today
Out in the garden did I find
A bird singing
Flowers blooming everywhere
So I picked so...

Heroes, All

On Memorial Day we remember the fallen
Those who paid the ultimate price
We adorn their graves once a year
With flags and poppies
On Veterans' Day we remember those who returned
Some physically maimed
Some living with the psychological scars of w...

Childlike Wonder

I miss those days when I looked at the stars
And wondered if there were men on Mars
To glance at the sky
Chase a butterfly
Without a care in the world.
I miss those days when I had my toys
And grew a little older and discovered boys
To think abou...
