Poems
Nov 2012
Blessed
From my first cry
Mother's embrace, father's joyful face
Medicine says its for air
But for me it was for joy
I already knew I was blessed
A place really home
Tonka toys, Christmas joys
Where my heart stayed
And summer lingered
I grew up loved and blessed
Created two measures
Bug and kitten, we're smitten
Depths, heights, tears, joys
Holding on, letting go
Sacred duty, honor and blessing
And 28 years loved
Best friends, make amends
She gets me
I get her
True love, my blessing
There is no equity
My share, is unfair
There's no accounting
For beauty or love
Or all my blessings.
