A Wilderness of MirrorsI wake up in a room full of mirrors,
a funhouse of distortion
where reality is blurred.
I gasp, for in one of the mirrors,
I see a young version of me—
rocking and singing a lullaby
to my newborn baby girl,
with a full head of dark hair.
By my side, a little boy with blue eyes and blond hair—
a million-dollar family.
Sighing...

Your reflectionEach little cutie birthmark on your face,
symbolizes my fondness for you.
You can try, but you can't count them;
they multiplied as our bond grew.
The immense depth of your brown eyes,
reflects my endless love for you.
Profound and limitless, just like the sky
never ending, never fading, so true.
But that naughty, unruly hair of yours
definitely shows your strong...

Waiting for the Rising Son
1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
As I wait for the Son to rise,
for hope to soar through the skies
for the light of the world to shine
so that grace and love are mine…
I hear the...

My Firstborn SonHe watches, observes and loves with all his heart
Reservedly waiting to see reciprocation or active participation
Thinking, offering ideas for all to embrace,
Satisfaction to behold and a joy that floods his young face.
Considering others in wake of their pain
He goes the extra mile to ensure protection and such detailed accomplishment
While allowing others to make their own...

Home to RoostI wrote about my timer,
Which is permanently stuck
And, after many years, at last
Emitted its last cluck.
That was two days ago; today
A package came for me.
I hadn’t ordered anything
And thought, “What could it be?”
A brand-new chicken timer
With a message from my son:
“I hope this works – it looks just like
Your now non-ticking one.”
I laughed out loud...

In about a week, I'm gonna go see my makerIn about a week, I'm gonna go see my maker,
an old Italian guy, who left me with my present caretaker.
I need to go see him about my nose,
because the damn thing just grows and grows.
My caretaker says it's because I lie,
but I don't know how seriously to take her.

Hey Dad!Hey Dad!
Hey Dad! Is that you knocking at the door outside?
I'm excited to let you know how great was my first horse ride.
Mom was waiting for you on the couch — another quiet night.
Is your job so hard? Well, I hope everything's alright.
Good night Dad.
Hey Dad! Today's my 7th birthday!
My friends were looking for you...

He Ascended Into Heaven In White Clad
With His arms wide open and His head bowed low
He prayed to His Father, without making a show
Two thieves at His side, one repented one not
Savior of this world, gave it all He got
They placed Him in a tomb and rolled up the stone
all that was left of Him was flesh...

MotherWhat is a mother? Is it birth?
In a way, for that is the Earth,
the need to seed, to procreate
that is, our natures obligate.
Is that a mother’s duties done;
that’s all. I’m through. I have a son.
It was and is, and was again,
ignorant to the silent pain;
never knew quite how to mother;
left it to a father’s other;
appearing...

It’s Grace Who Saved
It’s grace that remembers me when I feel lonely
Grace who reminds me that God still loves me
It’s grace who tells me that my soul is worthy
Grace that fulfills me when I know I’m imperfect
It’s grace who allows me to let go of the past
Grace who forgives me for all those sin filled shadows
It’s grace who...

A Mother's ShelterA mother's arms will make a boy feel warm.
Without her, the world would be strange and cold.
She keeps her darling safe from fear and harm
and offers him a loving hand to hold.
She watches over him where he may go
and always holds him tightly to her breast.
She shields him when the winds...

Mama, my best word My sweetness, from you, my first meal,
Exclusively for six.
And for many more months after~
The grub that made me tick.
You'd go hungry for me to eat.
Still my tum begs for more
What yours for days has been denied,
For hunger there to roar.
Empty tummy twirls blank your eyes,
Then you fall down and faint.
Still you rise just to find...

Still my sonI see you through a smoky haze,
A boy I knew in brighter days,
Your laughter once could light the room—
Now shadows wrap you in their gloom.
Your eyes, once clear, now lost and wide,
Like oceans caught in turning tide.
I reach, but you just slip away,
A ghost who walks in light of day.
You chase a high that leaves...
