See how new green shoots and branches and leaves and flowers appear and the green grass rises everywhere, the gods had set a part of Eden here. Hear the birds sing and cheer and see them fly past and follow the white-hot sun while the rays comes to stay for a longer time. Smell the […]
Quiet as you are, I always knew You were watching me, loving me, all the years through Hard as it was at times, I am sure; You were there for me, even when you felt like showing me the door Through all of the years and the laughter and tears I was happy to know […]
When I was little and I cried You lovingly held me, and let the last tear fall, When I would scrape my knee You’d bandage it up and say "be careful". When my birthday was horrible, you smiled And promised the next would be perfect. When I would lose my temper, You had a way […]
I remember the green freeze pops, hugs that never stopped! The games of kickball, the light left on for me in the hall. The trips to the game farm, the times you kept me from harm. Whenever I needed you, it was your shoulder I turned to. The hospital care, you in a wheelchair. The […]

Children, I come back today To tell you a story of the long dark way That I had to climb, that I had to know In order that the race might live and grow. Look at my face — dark as the night — Yet shining like the sun with love’s true light. I am […]
"Hope" is the thing with feathers— That perches in the soul— And sings the tune without the words— And never stops—at all— And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard— And sore must be the storm— That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm— I’ve heard it in the chillest land— And on the strangest […]
The tree has entered my hands, The sap has ascended my arms, The tree has grown in my breast- Downward, The branches grow out of me, like arms. Tree you are, Moss you are, You are violets with wind above them. A child – so high – you are, And all this is folly to […]
