May 2014
With you I share my greatest joys
a heart that never feels alone
The house, our home, where we belong
grander treasures I've never known
Our grandchild alight with beauty
that shines bright as the soul within
Who's never known disappointment
nor the weight of a single sin
To that I add my own young boy
who likes to spend his time with me
Tossing a baseball back and forth
living treasures from life's own tree
A wild filly of a daughter
that never had her spirit broke
Who never took to the bridle
nor has she bent beneath life's yoke
That look, that smile, your knowing, glance
like a stroll through the summer wheat
I lay my pen in reverence
upon the ground beside your feet

Tate
After my divorce Tate and I spent a few years with only ourselves as immediate family. Such was the catharsis that led me to begin writing. He and I bonded, in a struggle to overcome the odds against us. Then came the day I met Rebecca. Sometime after I began dating her Tate said to me. "That's the one for you. Marry Her!". The same idea was going through my mind. So it was to be that she accepted the proposal. Since then Rebecca has added to our clan so much. It nearly overflows with children, nephews, nieces, and relatives of every kind.
It was said that Leonardo Da vinci once was apprenticed to a master painter. His master came over with his brushes to investigate Leonardo's progress on a painting. Upon looking at his apprentices work. It was reported a tear flowed down his cheek. He lay his brushes at Leonardo's feet and never picked them up again.
Such is the case with Rebecca.
Thank you Becky
