Sometimes I surprise myself,
he eyes himself
and thinks
I scrub up well,
but I wake up the same
calling your name.

From the battlements, a trumpet sounds
rolling across the manicured lawns and
well-tended grounds
there are no rough edges in my dreams.

jetliners line the runways
someways a way out there
and I'm stood here twiddling my thumbs
watching as she ties up her hair.

Four brothers four sisters
Scraped knees and blisters

Siblings are many things
Playing hard sports brings

Our Family Ethics Code
Parenting, guidance unfold

No snooping, privacy respected
Valid points never rejected 

Don’t read other’s journals or
Leave the seat up in the ******

No’s know No Bounds

Listening on others conversations
There is no honor among thieves

No cheating, stealing.or lying,
Whining ,tantrums, Pretend crying

You have two ears and one mouth
Listen twice as much as you speak

These life lessons help each Child
To extricate them As they grow

Family Values, what they know


Inspired songs;
1) cats in the cradle
By Harry Chapin, 1974

2) if I could see the world
through the eyes of a child
By Patsy Cline, 1958
