I wish
people were
more like
squirrels content
with what
they get
and never
dwelling on
the things
they want
squirrels do
indeed seem
very happy
bouncing about
bouncing about
happy indeed

Sip
There’s just
something about
that first
sip of
morning coffee
similar to
that first
smooch I
share with
you each
one reminding
it’s dawn
things to
do you
to love

A blizzard in October
it is unheard of
and I grew up
in the north Wisconsin
to be exact where
we know our snow
but here in Denver
we’re a mile higher
and I do suppose
that much closer to
angels when they molt
causing it to snow
here whereas lower down
others will see rain
thinking that its tears
when we here know
it’s a little piece
of Heaven this snow
brief as it is
Knowing
One of the hardest
things you’ll ever decide
is what you want
Oh we know what
we always dream about
who we’ll be with
and where we’ll live
and how famous and
rich we will be
But those are dreams
What we want questions
often begin to surface
when what we have
is beginning to fall
short fade and crumble
A friend of mine
once suggested that rather
than trying to decide
what we want instead
admit what we don’t
just like when I
have struggled with the
notion that God is
everything which brings with
it lots of thinking
whereas thinking that God
is also nothing brings
with that idea peace
think less to know
MeMirror
I have enjoyed a
great life filled with
adventure and many opportunities
I have felt loved
and I have given
love and I have
laughed
not just at things
or at others or
at other’s things but
at myself as well
And now as I
sit in this my
last phase of life
I spend most time
in front of the
mirror and reflecting most
upon my wrinkles for
it is within them
where I can see
all of the others
who’ve walked with me
