Morning hugs lasting for hours The friend date when you bought me roasted chestnuts right near the Rockerfeller Center Christmas tree The Teddy Bear you gave me which I still have Knowing thar night changed our lives Remembering the two graduate students with very little than each other Look how far we have come with so much more to look forward too Yes,we are still lost in Love With many Precious Moments to look forward to I cherish you and us

Precious Moments
No, I don't devour them often Once a month to the bakery for one Eating as I walk No, not ladylike, but not the point As a child, we just could not afford it Was afraid to ask my parents My dad would have bought one for me That is no longer an issue Hope he is smiling down from Heaven It a treat for the walker Walking 25 miles weekly for the ASPCA I write in my head while I walk Hurry home to jot down what came to mind Almond Danish was shared with a squirrel on the way

They can be fragile and creative Some are bold and talented beyond words The reviews can be amazing while others not so much Kindness and caring employed Reasons for their writing are endless Tell it from tne soul Tell it from the heart Poets are best to talk to poets One of tbe reasons I am here What about you?

What you tell a Poet
My Beautiful Golden Retriever was a family member's dog He is the closest pet that I ever had Never had a dog though I adore them My hubby is severely allergic unfortunately My daily walks fund the ASPCA on an app called Charity Miles His paw would be upon my hand if he wanted me to stay or pet him He now is one of the official welcoming dogs at the Rainbow Bridge At least,in my heart Whenever I meet another Golden, I know Skippy is saying Hello to me I love and miss you Best Friends Animal Society receives am annual donation in his memory

Skippy
Riding by airports wishing I was departing I will again Remembering live concerts and musicals we have attended Enjoying those moments more than dinners with well meaning friends who could dial it in instead of sitting next to you Talk about being real Enjoying life on your own terms How and when you want it Sharing it with those you choose Or alone if it works out that way Going to climb that rock wall Read books not listen on audio Do it your way and enjoy As for me more concerts and musicals I like film too Museums and Farmers Markets will do

Concerts and Musicals
Raindrops are syncopated Highs and lows Mellow and hard Rifts, Pitches, and choruses Pop culture and memories Every rain song In every drop Oldies, newest, and in betweens How many can you name? As they echo as you walk
