A Single Mother's Vow
This 'mother love'
for you, sweet one,
will never ever end,
You are the glory,
and I now tell the story
of a wonderful child
who is my dear friend...
we loved long ago
before crying began.
I carried you in my
secret place, until my
hand took your hand,
and together through
the land we wandered.
So never ignore me,
for you are my glory.
Thou art my child ~
and alone for thee
I will fend until my
life's end.

Accidents Happen
Forty Word Poem:
Harassed in heat of the day,
the driver searched for
an access way to the
urban medical practice
skidding at a sharp bend...
missing the clutch - amen!
All was hush,
he was only eighteen,
and sadly died at the scene.

Economy's Changing Tide
I thank the Lord above
for the glory of the hours.
His wondrous gift of love,
the rainbow and the flowers.
I pray and send my gratitude,
for my eyes are open wide.
Not far beyond the doom and gloom,
I see ecomomy's changing tide
with affluence all around...
and ever will my faith abound.

Home Is Where My Heart Is
Rictameter: syllable count
two-four-six-eight-ten
and return.
Never
must I leave you
home is where my heart is
and your own heart is home to me
wrapped within your charms for eternity
and there will be moonlight kisses
luck may grant our wishes
love will crumble
Never
