Red
Red the color of blood that gives us life
Red the color of fire, that lights the night
Red the color of passion, so intense
Red the color of love, true deep, immense

Sails filled with Potential
I am but a ship, with vast sails waiting for a gust of breeze
To carry me to another world or possibly to other seas
The potential of where I may blow a mystery
Maybe I’ll go down in history
Oh, to fill my sails with all the world has to offer
Every person and trinket a treasure for my coffer
If life could carry me effortless, like a great sailboat
All of my potential out of me would float

Snorkleing Molokini
On our second day, we decide to snorkel in Molokini
With me dressed in a wet suit over my bikini
An hour out on the sea
When my stomach starts to disagree
We arrive at the crescent crater
Hoping I will start to feel better
Schools of yellow tang around me swim
All around the coral as we are snorkelin
To spot a green sea turtle is the plan
That and to get back on the land
I saw two that day out on a blue green sea
Quite the adventurers, my husband and me

Snowflakes
Little Bits of Heaven falling from the sky
Tiny, detailed sculptures, you can spy with your eye
Each an original masterpiece, like no other you would find
Just like the people of this world... all a different kind
But when they multiply, their details water down
Until you see the magnitude piled on the ground
If I told you about it, and you had not seen it for yourself
You would have thought me crazy, as Santa's little elves
That such a tiny particle, with no real weight at all
Could cease our nations movement, and bring it to a stall
