Simba

When a

Boy misses

His dog

He goes

To see

Him but

When the

Dog is

Gone forever

The same

Boy goes

To tears

Love (to You)

Childhood Curiosity

Began then

Came desire

Followed by

Love now

That I’ve

Tasted love

I know

That without

It I’m

But a

Child wandering

Exploring demanding

Selfish with

It I’m

Compassionate caring

And whole

Be love

Not children

Atrophy

And sometimes

The heart

Grows cold

A distant

Drum thumping

In the

Chest a

Stiffening of

Muscle love

Is not

A thing

Or person

It’s you

And while

It may

Cool it

Still warms

When sitting

Close there

Kindergarten (for Brandon)

When a

Child and

Before reading

You saw

Pictures and

Thought a

World then

A miracle

Happened and

You knew

Words which

Now paint

The same

Pictures you

Saw before

OthersThings

Life is

Too short

To care

About things

Instead care

For each

Other things

Tend to

Stay but

Others all

Too often

Slip away
