O those French cathedrals!
Without you, life is hard

Can't find words to pray
Small victories
Dawn goes down to day

The movie was quite moving
Gracias xie xie
Silence in the afternoon
Silent is the Way

             Yea, verily. Yea.

I wanted to be a poet
Find some words that rhyme
Feeling 55
The ravages of time

Keep him to me close
Dailiness not the Sublime
To sleep perchance to dream
He and I and I'm ....

I liked the traveling
Honeymoon in Rome
Temples at Angkor Wat
Very far from home

Stockholm for the summer
Rode the Dublin bus
When my father dies
What will become of us?

                     Trust?

Slowly. Calmly. With Patience.

Dawn goes down to day
               Slowly
                  Sigh

Not much goin' on
Any old kinda day
Walkin' through the mall
Can't find words to pray

Please forward for my sons
Slowly is ok
Small victories
Gracias xie xie
