Ode to the Hunter's Grace
O, noble eagle, king of boundless skies,
Whose piercing gaze the sun itself defies,
A feathered arrow, launched on currents strong,
Where mountain peaks your ancient anthems throng.
From craggy cliffs, a monarch you survey,
The winding rivers where the...

If you asked me what beautiful meansIf you asked me what beautiful means,
It’s being loved by a strong woman
Empowered, chasing her own dreams,
Engraved with grace on soft moon, beams
A thoroughbred she is strong, wild, and free,
A phenomenon that writes my destiny

From that mortal night unto which you drift'd.

Through rugged mountains and skies so kind.

Soft as the dawn in the morning dew.
Sunshine on My Shoulders warms the soul,

Ode to John DenverMere words cannot express
The depths of my respect
And how I mourn the fact that he's not here.
His open, honest smile,
His friendly country style,
Of course his voice and music keep him near.

Ode to the Vietnam WarriorIn verdant jungles thick with fate,
Where shadows danced at war’s cruel gate,
They marched, they soared, they held the line,
With courage fierce and hearts divine.
The call was sounded, duty’s plea,
To serve, to fight, to keep us...

That doubting has been my second nature,
Besides my life’s heaven-sent bliss and buoy,
Doubtless never goes even my prayer.
Had I clues to all questions that arose,

Ode to Quiet ComfortStreet lamps tint our room with dim light
The muffled TV hums
Your skin on mine throughout the night
A comfort second to none
Soft and warm under the covers
Your fingers trace my own
Peace is here with one another...
