Dream Sharing

There comes a time when naps are due.
It’s much more fun to share with you.
You keep me warm, and with you here,
I know there is no need to fear.

When I grow up I want to sleep,
Beside someone that I can keep,
Free of worry, and of fear,
Someone who will be as dear.

I learn love at Mother’s knee,
But others teach the world to me,
“Give Unto Others” is her rule,
But I learn sharing in this school.

A Tear For A Rose

The first of the roses was Melanie's though they bloomed
All Summer long.

Don't cut it she said, let it see the light and feel the dew
Of a warm and April night.

But I longed to give her the gift of Spring so eloquent in the
Rose's first bloom.


So I severed the flower from it's nourishing stalk
Deprived the world of the first perfect rose
Took it inside to give to my love
Touched and saddened she cried
A tear for a rose.

This was for my dear wife (now ex).Hope you like it Amy. There's much more.

Something's Gone

The color of the liver might tell the doctor
What killed the baby.

The sleepy look when his soul passed
To hands more skilled.

Nearly crossed my face and Mama cried
Oh doctor please

Don't let my baby die
Like he was God or something.
Doctor, God or something.
Something's gone.


For Dr. Charles E. Holloway on his passing 7/12/95
He saved my life when I was eighteen months old.
