Brave And Courageous

Brave and Courageous
They stood on a hill
All together
They stepped forth with one will.

One assembled cars
While two tended farms
And another nursed the ill.

Honest and caring ruckus until
Obligation carried them on paths diverse
I remember still.

Their lives unsurpassed
In honesty, loving and caring
Working shoulder to shoulder
With family, friends and foe.

They may have passed
A long, long time ago
But I feel them still standing
Beside me here
On that same hill.

Snow Is Blowing Once Again

Snow is blowing once again
Spewing doubt of whether
A heart will beat and families meet
In this world or after.

Sadness is a trait
Carried on an atmosphere
That makes us feel so small
Full of heartache, heartache
Is what we feel us all.

Thru the cold may we flourish
Someday in the warmth
Of sunshine of the sun
Share laughter with family
And all friends
No sorrows or past regrets
Just pleasure at its best.

So, may snow blow love
Far into spring
Caressing thru a summer
That’s falling into fall.

Thats, that’s what we hope for
Even have the nerve to request
Oh yes, that would be the best
For us all.

My Journey Is Not Over

My journey is not over
Yet.

More things to learn
And forget.

Special
Is the time we have
In this life we love.

Never
Ever will forget
All the people, friends
I’ve met.

 Journeying on a path
Filled with no regrets
Only love.

We Have Friends

We have friends we don’t know.
They are by our side even when we don’t see or feel their presence.
Accept that when you need, they are there.
