Now I have climbed the mountain high
And struggled there to touch the sky
I dreamt of visions I had seen
Somewhere above and in between
But all that time I found instead
These lofty thoughts lived in my head !
LOST VICTORY ( 2019 )
Oh Lord, there is so much pain I feel
It goes on and on, forever real
I cannot escape its iron grasp
With each breath I take, it’s like my last.
Sometimes I think it would better be
To close my eyes in lost victory
Because this needs all the strength I’ve got
One of those days that I’d rather not !
IN HOPE ( 2019 ) 2019/12/03
These final words that I recall
“A happy time was had by all”
Too many conversations heard
Repeat the very selfsame words.
So blest are we remembering
The greater joy families bring,
The love and care that we receive
Help all once more in hope believe !
MY CHOICE ( 2019 ) 2019/12/01
The winter chill is moving in
It’s time to take it on the chin
Unpack your warmest set of clothes
Including scarf, gloves, hat and hose.
Your best wool sweater underneath
And don’t forget the holly wreath
I spy the frost on every bough
The weather’s truly colder now.
Could use the warmth that threatens all
As per our latest know- it- all
Somehow I think it is a ruse
And nothing close to what I ‘d choose !
