Hoping, Not Exceeding

Hoping,
not exceeding the life 
I’ve been given 
the life I love, share  
and adore. 

Not exceeding, only hoping 
to be the best
I can in this world 
this world I share.

A Home Is A Home

A home is a home 
no matter the width, the size 
treasured forever 
lived in from birth 
to the time you die. 

Feel the gentle breathing 
of timbers and frame 
holding strong
in winter winds, torrential rains. 

All are welcomed 
with love, no despair 
come 
step into this home. 

There you’ll share 
laughs, great food 
and
a glass of sweet cheer.

Memories And Experiences

No one knows nor do I share
The experiences I’ve had
Way back
Way back there.

Memories remain unspoken
Words are held with care
Just in case those thoughts
Come out
Get spoken somewhere.

Rosie Doesn’t Care

Rosie doesn’t care
Rosie has no hair
Rosie is not here
Nor is she there
Rosie’s somewhere
But she doesn’t care.

Who is Rosie?
Why doesn’t she care?

I must share Rosie is always here
And she does care.
