Unto what shall I liken my struggled walk in life
Unto a breath without air
Gasping and grasping
For that which I can clearly see
And ever try to be
But like unto the shining stars
Of heaven’s glory above
Lies as it would seem
High above my reach

Yet my hands are stretched...

OK, so in June, I became  seventy, 
That’s a nice round figure to be,
I still have some of my own teeth 
And with glasses, I’m still able...

lone bluebird sings

on my back porch swing
  
I hug myself


Or

lone robin sings

on the mountain porch swing

I hug myself...

Sports Day at the primary school
The kids were 7 and 9
They’d been at the school for 4 or 5 years
It seemed such a very short time.

My words has fade away,
The beauty within writting poems,
Has lost my ways,
Sadness walks in my way,
Tears run in my face,
Feeling down here and there,

Wishing I can change things in an instane,
Wishing to be a real superman,
Wishing to save my people in my...

I 70 West
Across the miles unhampered by the scene
the majesty of space, the vacant sky,
the interstate that long ago appeared
as yellow brick that led to places where
a girl could have her way, or so it seemed.

Seventy years ago a future began
A life that many dreamed of
A boy was born
A wonderful man he grew to be
Seventy years of memories we celebrate today
Three beautiful grandchildren
Two unbelievable children we have gotten to be friend
Seventy years of hard work and experience taught
Here's to a...

Blaring disco
swirling clubs
‘One night affair’ shakes
Funk, Latin, Soul music
reverberated vocals
grinding hips
shaking bosoms
electric pianos
phenomenon spread, over and above all
young minds, young bodies, a fusion
trippy lighting
colourful costume
remix version, DJs influential, people party
Shake, shake, shake, shake your booty
All is free, don’t be snooty
Disco wear, stretch and reflect light
Ultra...
