Time is not a friend of mine
Still, I am trailing along,
I’m either killing it
Or it’s killing me
The days can be so long. Continue reading ““Time””

A Poem of Gratitude-“Friends”
I love today, because it is new
Like a beautifully wrapped package
you can open slowly,
To savor the excitement and suspense.
Then,
It presents itself to you.
Looking at it from all angles Continue reading “A Poem of Gratitude-“Friends””
A Poem about Cycling-“Empowered by a Waterwheel”
Come winter, the water will freeze
The water will stop spinning
Power will die.
E-motion will rest.
It rises up from the water in spring
and thrusts forward
everything that was still and hidden. Continue reading “A Poem about Cycling-“Empowered by a Waterwheel””
About Adam
Adam is my twin son that passed away when he was only 13 days old. I have several poems I’ve written for him over the years, especially around his Birthday, so I will be posting more of them as time goes on.
I gave birth to Adam and Matt, pre-maturely, at 24 weeks. Matt was in the NICU for 3 months following, and with his brother’s help, made it over every hurdle that faced him. Matt has no repercussions from his early birth. He is 20 years old now, very happy and healthy, and a blessing to me; as was his brother.
To say Adam’s passing has been the most difficult, life-changing experience of my life, would be a gross understatement. That said, however bittersweet it may be, Matt and Adam are two miracles God granted to me, and to the world, and I am forever grateful.

Until I reached it; then Continue reading “A Poem About Running the Race-“Wings””

A Poem About A Helping Hand-“Be the One!”
If you find someone with troubles
Be the one to lend a hand,
Be the one for them to talk to
Be the one to understand. Continue reading “A Poem About A Helping Hand-“Be the One!””
A Poem About-“A Child”
When I was a child…
I may have been five or six
Then maybe eight or so…. ?
But, very meek and mild.
I know I had a shadow
I was fearful of most times
And monsters hid in places
I did not dare to go. Continue reading “A Poem About-“A Child””
A Poem about a Lion’s Share- “The Buffet”
I offered him a place at the buffet
But he didn’t understand the invitation
He came-
But never showed up. Continue reading “A Poem about a Lion’s Share- “The Buffet””
A Poem About a Heavy Heart-“Secrets”
It grows slowly over time
So slow, you can hardly feel it
Planted deep in fertile soil
The less it’s felt, the more it grows.
In time,
You begin to feel it’s weight Continue reading “A Poem About a Heavy Heart-“Secrets””
