When I walked down that drive way,
To help as you locked the gate,
It did not occur that day
That months later you vacate,
Victim of stomach cancer,
And I would go to my job,
With my world a total blur,
Needing a shoulder to sob.

A Small Child

When I hear a small child,
Crying and going wild,
My mind starts to go crazy,
And the work becomes lazy.

It is hard to concentrate,
Yet harder for me to hate,
For I have been in their heels --
I know how the child feels.

My Sweet Billy Bug

Last night, while walking barefoot,
I stumped awkwardly on my toe.
The pain was so horribly real,
I screamed in agony "Oh no!"

Thankfully, Little Bill was there --
I call him My Sweet Billy Bug --
And with arms spread like an angel,
He tightly gave a big, bear hug.

Next Week's Poetry Reading

Because I'm working at my job,
And it is cash that I'm needing,
I regret I'll be a no-show
For next week's poetry reading.

But please don't feel too bad for me,
As I plan to make the next one,
With newly-penned material
That will leave the audience spun.

You are breathtaking.
You fill me with emotion.
You inspire me.

Beautiful Is She

Beautiful is she,
My one and only,
Who smells my flowers
For all the hours.
