WHAT I BECOME 1/13/2006
I have read a number of poems
Travel a distance away
And never been a poet at all,
But when I have seen your
Rose-colored lips
Your ocean blue eyes
Diamond spreading smile,
I became a poet and started writing poems.
<br>
I have heard music with tune
Sometimes I have danced with folk
And never been a singer at all,
But when I have heard your
Sweet voice ...

Childhood 1/11/2006
Remember!
Little girls and boys playing with imaginary toys.
Waking up all warm and safe with their innocence stored
in faith.
When, Moms and Dads they held us tight.
They taught us love and not to fight.
Where the worlds a sandbox warm and gritty.
Your first true love was …a calico kitty.
Untouched and pure, kind and true.
Where families held together and the parents did ...

These days I shall cherish, for years apoun years,
Those memories we have shall never fade

A Poem On Aging 1/10/2006
When an old lady died in the geriatric ward of a hospital
in England, it appeared she had left nothing of value.
The nurse, packing up her possessions, found this poem.
The quality so impressed the staff that copies were distributed
to all the nurses in the hospital.
This poem then later appeared in the Christmas edition
of "Beacon House News, " a magazine of the Northern

"...but that he is infinite while lasts." 1/8/2006
"I can say of the love (that I had):
That it is not immortal, rank that is flame but that he is
infinite while lasts."
I make mine the words of our beloved Brazilian poet, VinÃcius
de Morais.
Tomorrow I will continue happy? It does not matter...Today
I AM!
The fear to never lose will leave you to earn. It is necessary
to risk - in the life.
I read and I reread the part "theater of ...
