I think of
You and you and you
Memories.we all
Shared
From days gone by
You a friend from high school
While you a friend
From work
You who betrayed me
You who made
Promises you
Never kept
You who I laughed
With
And cried with
But now you
Are gone
And you
Are gone
And you
Are gone
Silver and gold
Though our friendships
Have rusted with time
Our memories live
On.
Forever

A friend just called me
We talked poetry and such
Just so much to share

The lake is frozen
Some of the geese are standing
Testing their webbed feet

Just saying

It's so cold out there
Need a fire to
Warm me up
A hot cup
Of chocolate
Would do
So. would a cozy sweater
As these thoughts
Ramble through
My head
I..see a man
On a cold bench
Without a coat
Holes in his pants
With shoes to match
An empty bottle
Near by
I no longer
Feel.cold.
Or need to feel
Warm
What I need is
A cover
To spread
Some warmth.

Hp family sponge
Soaking in all the sadness
Sending out much love

Time to work
Earn my keep
Time to play
Find my inner self
Time to eat
Savor the goodness
Of Nature's bounty
Time to pray
For stillness within
Time to sing
Feel good songs
Make you cry songs
Don't know the
Words songs
Time to read
To laugh and startle
And cry
Time to take trash out
Count the stars
Time to relax
Time to be
Time to go
To bed
And give thanks
Time to
Shhhh
Good night
