Wondering Where Christmas Went


When did
Christmas
Become Xmas?

I have been
Running in circles
Trying to get
Everything right!

Where is the peace?

Rememberance

Hello Father...
It is your birthday,
Born in winter,
Lived for 73 years,
Died in Summer.

I hope all is well
With your spirit and
Perhaps you are
With us one more.
Peace be with you.

Oh Bother!

Work on a new concrete driveway started just before winter descended upon us. I am hoping for a thaw sometime in January that will last long enough to get the excavated area finished. The rest of the driveway can wait until spring!

Unattributed Poem at a Funeral Today

      I wanted a perfect ending.
    Now I've learned, the hard way,
that poems don't rhyme, and some stories
      don't have a clear beginning,
            middle, and end.
        Life is about not knowing,
   having to change, taking the moment,
        and making the best of it,
without knowing what's going to happen.
          Delicious ambiguity.
