Children
Taught them
Teach those that do
Nieces and nephews galore
Violent crime took the opportunity away when she was younger
Maybe that is why Mothers and Fathers Days are hard for many reasons
Yet,he loves her
Yet,she loves him
Never meant to be but
Love conquered all so cruelly taken

Ebony petite Ducks,Egrets,Seagulls,and Swans
Happily swimming and
eating
Flying into the blue
Still wishing I could join you
Jumping and enjoying the breeze
You've got to be carefully taught is an old song
With older lyrics and thoughts
You’ve got to be taught to listen,read, and see
Think carefully and use common sense
Be aware and true to yourself
Hopefully adults and children will contiue learning

School is not the only place to learn
Everywhere and every opportunity to be taught better

Your pain
Your disappointments
Your losses
Your mistakes
Then the rain stops
Storms end
Rainbows appear
Hopefully the dark clouds  become the Bluest  of skies

A six letter word with impact
Either we accept it or we struggle
What stays the same matters
What we remember and enjoy
We celebrate
The Kennedy Center will never be the same again
Said with sorrow and disgust
Culture and The Arts matter so much
The change within is another matter
We are better together
So look inside and think of others
Selfishness just does not work
Take care of yourselves
Remember some change requires us to adapt
Change for the better
Sometimes leaving well enough alone is the best choice

Tiger swallowtail butterfly accompanied me on my walk
Trying to live a positive and happy life
As of late, I find these words dancing and stomping in my head
Unprecendented
Illegal
Incredulous
Ignorance
Immoral
Chaos
Cruelty
Selfish
Insensitive
Rhymes with Dump
Rhymes with Dusk
Quid
Pro
Quo
Impeach

I am the Family Detective
DNA does not lie
Families feud and fight just like the Hatfields and McCoys did
People get left out
Thrown to the curb
Or forgotten about entirely
They never know their families or origins
If you are lucky enough to reach out
Hopefully reunite
You find out why certain aspects of your personality are what they are or.not
Five years the unknown became known
It happened to me
I am not adopted
Book to folllow
Who do you think you are?

Plain Jane
Echoes all the time
Her mother called her that
Writing
Travel
Research
Photography
Epicurean
Culture
Nature­
So when two swans joined together to form a heart today
The Ugly Duckling is his swan
Now and Forever
