Why has our life
become so awkwardly hard?
Is this life's game,
we drew a bad card
Why does it happen,
with a "Just God?"
Why has God, abandoned thee?
You led a good life
and don't deserve to be,
left in life's shambles
of our family.

Run with me
to the top of the wall.
I need you with me,
lest I stumble and fall,
for if I do, it will be
the end of it all.

The Fountain of Youth,
I'd love to see,
to refresh an old life,
to what it used to be.

Jumbled up words,
inane they are.
Bragging by some,
thoughts were afar.

No matter the choice
of where you seat,
you will find
life in your feet.
Move your chair
to another place.
It's really ok,
not a disgrace.

I wish I could be
everything to you,
by making a list
of things to do.
You are my light,
my beckoning soul.
I hope to be
everything to you,
but feel I've failed
in answering who,
caused the disease
to come through,
destroying all your
memories, so true.

What was the light
gleam in your eye?
Why do you love me?
Why do we try?

Loving arms
encircling my waist.
What's the hurry,
why the haste?

You will ask me,
"Who are you?"
each morning,
asking me who.

I can only say,
it's me,
not a stranger,
your husband, see?

An Arroya, a Canyon,
a space 'tween your ears,
enough room for worries,
more space for your fears.

No life to live.
No life to lie.
What happens now,
When memories die?

Straight the string,
to my heart,
tied to my Souls
emotional plight.

Why must I worry
about thee,
when I know your
worry about me?

I hear a worrisome
thought in my head.
I suppose I should
have stayed in bed.

Yellow stripes,
Hello big cat,
do you have a clue
of where we are at?

Jumped he did,
caught the branch,
swinging high, then
a scurrying chance.

Funny, he was,
to the gathering crowd,
a shrieking howl,
my goodness, so loud.

When rocking away,
using his tail,
sweeping a branch,
he did prevail.

Easy as pie,
not difficult to do,
with a long tail,
living at the Zoo.

The nights grow longer,
we are covered with cool air,
which covers our being
and our loved ones, everywhere.
Brightness comes from the East,
as a new dawn, cuts the gloom
while rays of the Sun
fill up the room.
