That mysterious nook wherein my mother gave me birth, That treasure-chamber, where there never had been dearth for mirth... That corner where, for first-time, I felt your motherly kiss, Where with milk and maternal bond I drank your baffling bliss... That home where,...

Through the unfinished step goes with time as we walk in repose. Blindly his son has observed us through the blue and glowing days blessed through His paternal rays. Though, close still the blinds we pull, through His breath rite of baptism waters cool. Flourish rapture strings by two closely weave who sees through. Angels come down...

When we learned our elderly, kind granddad had died, All paternal cousins traveled, gathered and cried. Later, the ‘reception drive’ offered varied rides; In Rachel’s auto, they shared a liquor-filled flask And in Rob’s ancient van, a joint or two was passed.
