Thinking of Christmas

I am thinking of Christmas. I want to write a poem for my mom and dad. A poem about all of the memories I have from growing up. I wrote one for my Grandma last Christmas...she died before I could give it to her, and I got up and read it at her funeral. My mind is starting to think back on memories...

The Best Gift

One of the best gifts I ever received were front row tickets from my good friend, Kevin, to see John Denver in St. Louis. That was nearly 20 years ago.

A Minefield

Reeling from the impact of of all my flesh insists. My eyes and heart are lifted to a world that many wonder if even exists.

Pain to Change

I said some things that were harsh, but all of them were true... I tried to say them gently, so as not to hurt you deeply.
