      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Your Poetry

      Apr 30, 2021

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.

      Poetry Selections

      A Day for Thanks

      Today is very special

      it comes but once a year

      Something wonderful happened

      so great all have to cheer

      Similar to the heavens

      just like the Milky Way

      A star was found shining

      on this special day

      Once a cute little toddler

      with the most curious of eyes

      Two parents standing proudly

      thankful for their baby prize

      Through love and nurturing

      they watched a flower blossom

      With the aid of father time

      the end result was awesome

      So many lives you have touched

      a benevolent hand you extend

      Anyone that's ever known you

      will always call you friend

      Blessed with an amazing smile

      as special as a rainbow's hue

      You make the world a better place

      may your birthday wish come true

      Aftermath

      How could I have been so unaware?

      It happened so many years ago.

      When you needed help, no one was there.

      A mistake made beyond repair;

      your lively face had lost its glow.

      How could I have been so unaware?

      A heavy burden you couldn't bear,

      friends and family left to feel woe.

      When you needed help, no one was there.

      Best of friends but you couldn't share,

      why you did it I'll never know.

      How could I have been so unaware?

      The choice you made was so unfair;

      you'll never see your siblings grow.

      When you needed help, no one was there.

      In memory on this day we say a prayer,

      it leaves me cold as falling snow.

      How could I have been so unaware?

      When you needed help, no one was there.
