Your life is yours
To do as you
Please and not just
To please others just
Like the tree gives
Birth to leaves to
Go where they must
So did your parents
Find your own breeze
And therefore your freedom

Goodbye
I wonder if maybe
This time it’ll stick
Like the late April
Snows which blanket with
Heavy wet large snowflakes
As if nature is
Doling out double portions
Maybe this time will
Be the last time
I mean how many
Goodbyes does it take
For something to be
Over finally over finished
How many coats of
Paint does it take
To hide the blemishes
And the ugly scars
Just how much makeup
Will make bruises disappear
If I keep going
Back like the deer
To the now naked
Branches doesn’t that make
Me look like the
Fool like the despot
This one last final
Goodbye must be the
Spring for so many
Believe that loneliness is
Winter but limping love
Is lonelier than snow
Which does eventually stay
Cuddle
It is when
Two or more
Things forget what
They are separately
And decide together
To be neither
But just one
HappyBirthdayJadon
It was this day
Only twenty-one years ago
That our world was
Blessed by you it
Had absolutely no idea
What it was missing
Until you showed us
You my dear boy
Are just simply lovely
Like that one sunflower
In a peonies sea
That one taller than
All flowers whose head
Is always tilted upwards
And like the sun
Rooted to the earth
Your smile warms and
Welcomes and follows east
To west oh my
But you are a
Treasure on a beach
Happiest of Birthdays Jadon
On behalf of all
Of us may these
Wishes bring you joy
EvenAfterEverAfter
Sometimes in my life
I stumble across a
Real one like opening
A picture book usually
Filled with pretty prince’s
All wishing for a
Happily ever after until
After doesn’t end happily
But you are different
Upon opening you popped
Up standing there amidst
The dragons sword drawn
And for the first time
I felt like maybe
Maybe some princes do
Keep their promises after
All that ever happens
