Early on at the start
With a twinkle in his eye
He up and stole my heart
And I let that slide by.
Now he's gotten bolder
And takes my cell phone
From its magnetic holder
Carried near my hip bone.
I've learned from past experience
So now my phone isn't trespassed.
It's turned off at my convenience
And any charges are bypassed.

There's a smile on my face

And joy fills my heart

Because an event took place,

A new life got it's start.

Lorielle was born this afternoon,

A healthy baby girl at full-term.

For her mother it wasn't too soon.

Of that she was loud and firm.

She was tired of being with child. 

Not that the baby was unplanned,

It's just the discomforts piled

Up and inconveniences got out of hand.

Now she can relax and ensure

Her new baby's care and keeping

While dreaming about its future

And drift off to sleeping.

In getting to know you better,
I try to understand and empathize
By conversation as your newsletter
To see the world thru your eyes.

My Way On The Highway

Do-Good Misunderstood

Do-Good Misunderstood
15 February 2012

After the baby girl was baptized,
The four-year-old brother cried
On the way home traumatized.
In the back seat he turned aside.
"What's the matter, my star son?"
Asked the concerned matron.
Johnny sobbed out, "The parson
Said that he hoped the wee one
Would be raised Christian like his
Praying to and praising Jesus,
But the problem with that plan is
I wanted her to stay and please us."

Valentine’s Day 2012

Valentine’s Day 2012
14 February 2012

On this special occasion
I just wanted to say,
With the voice of persuasion,
“Happy Valentine’s Day!”
I hope it’s a lovely delight
And filled with friendly cheer;
Then at the end of the night
You get naked with someone dear.

There's a smile on my face

And joy deep in my heart.

All day thru at my place

My thoughts get a kick start

Recalling to my mind

The recent visit with you.

Lounging around, inclined 

To taking our sweet time to 

Talk of this or that event,

Letting me acertain

That our time in retirement

Is pure gravy train.

I say thanks again for 

The omission of formality

And the pleasant ardor

Of gracious hospitality.

Yesterday's Rose

Yesterday's Rose

18 January 2012

While passing into my yard

By the white picket gate

I noticed the rose on guard

Had entered a wilted state.

When a faded petal goes

That's yesterday's rose.

Still wanting to belong,

Joining where she can,

Singing her own song

While hoping for a man.

Wearing old-fashioned clothes,

That's yesterday's rose.

She can still kick up her heals

And enjoys dining and dancing.

She know how it all feels

And what's life enhancing.

One of today's widows

Is yesterday's rose.

Looking for a good time

When she can whim it,

Spending her own dime

Within society's limit.

Not youth but wisdom shows

That's yesterday's rose.

Out on my morning stroll

On a route that's variable,

I spied a slip of paper or debris

On the sidewalk, left carefree.

On a closer look it proved to be

Money in the form of a twenty.

I picked the it up from where it lay,

Put it in my pocket and walked away.

Innocent Present

A favorite memory to recall

Involves my nephew's youngest son.

After dinner when he was small

He toddles up and gets my attention.

Then on my lap snuggled in,

A wee giggle escapes

His open-mouthed grin

As he feeds me grapes.

Such a precious boy

Sharing on his part,

And his smile of joy

Is forever in my heart.
