Reflections on Seeing a Young Man Smile If I should walk a thousand miles,And walking, see a thousand smiles.I never will, not once forgetThat slightly upturn look and yet;although I know twas not for me,I swear, for all eternityI'll say it was!A secret smile, yes barely there,And yet it warmed the very air.Reminding me, when...

THAT'S NOT HOW MY MOTHER DID IT!"That's not how my mother made it"I didn't look."She put in a lot more tomatoes"O.K.! The woman could cook!"She had a knack for sauces"She always used a book!"That's not how my mother did it"I didn't look."She folded the towels very neatly"I leave them on the hook."She had a knack for housework...

Hello Larry, this is Barry.You know me; I cut your lawn.Just a small thing, not a tall thing.It's about the gnome that you call Sean.He looks so cute in his little suit.But to me he's just a pain.He just sits there, what does he careIf he causes stress and strain.I cann't go through him, I must go round him.Round and round hi...

SORTINGI am sitting and I'm sorting,For I'm told that we are moving.All my old and worn out toys "Will have to go!"But what to keep, and what to not;Is really quite confusing,And the answer to it I just do not know.I am sitting and I'm sorting,I see Teddy has some bruising,He has lost and ear and one arm's hanging low.But, as...

KEATSWhere violets grow, that's where you lie.The ghosts of Rome about your head.The flowers where you rest, won't dieThey're watered by the tears we shed.Immortal Poet, so much you gave,Your words unfettered by the years;Reach out and draw us to the page,To beauty, splendor, love and tears. More..

I SAW HER PASSYes, she passed by this way,I remember!It was only a few days ago.But her coat was all tattered and dusty,And her walk was unsteady and slow,And as she passed by me I noticedthe light in her eyes almost gone,And she paused for what seemed like a moment,Then turned her head west to the sun.Yet you tell me she got...

We knew this day would come!There was plenty of warning,Doctors,counselor's and such;all painted the picture clearly.While there was time and energy,We did all the things she wanted to do.We reached down to the deepest corewhere love was stored, to give her our all.Yet now, as we stand here, our grief is overwhelming.Suddenly...

THE SNAILHe thinks that I can't see him.That silly little snail.But little does he know it,He's leaving quite a trail.He started at the cabbage patch,And now he's headed south,To where my fathers' sweetest beans;are tempting to his mouth.If he would only look behind himI'm sure he'd quickly seeHe is the tasty morselMy Duck wi...
