Flowers at my grave
placed after I am gone
a gesture sweet
that begs life's song
to play another day.

Kathryn Heim Jul 2017

when emotions squeeze my heart
and stir the contents of my soul
I cry.

when the world is going one way
and my mind says "no way."

when my love goes off
the deep end
of this ocean
we call life

I cry.

Summer fun

Turquoise toes
carefree as a feather
a drop of sweat
in humid weather.
splash!
Freezing grape tongue
worriless days
summer fun.

Center

Christ my leader
bring me through,
Christ my center
keep me true,
Christ my groundwork
hold me straight,
Christ my balance
bear my weight,
Christ transcending
time and space
Thou art my final
resting place.

How can I not think of Thee

As the satin colors
of the morning sky
with echoes of glory
for all to see
softly crescendo
my soul to a high
how can I not Lord,
think of Thee.

The New Year Pledge

To hope for
and always
see the best,
To love with a heart
full of heaven's zest,
to help make other's days
and lives better,
and forever remember
the things that most matter.

Her Majesty

Hail Mary
Queen of queens
A mother's love
as never seen.

By her grace
we strive to be
so
our love will echoe
Her majesty.
