Lord, I dread that day
He is atleast 16 that we know of. Saved him when he was 5. On his way out soon. My dog not the grizzly that tromps through here in the summer months.

Keep Rowing
ymmiJ Feb 2020
I have been rowing myself
upstream in a ten man canoe
my life strapped tight inside
I’ve bottomed out on shallow bends
been flipped over in raging current
bashed into rocks bruised then torn
even pulled under to a murky bottom
yet with my paddle always in one hand
his good book in the other for balance
I keep rowing up this mighty river
to my spawning ground back home

Reckless Loving
ymmiJ Feb 2020
where ever did I go wrong
I even took that turn you wanted
is it to late to turn back around
can we get back to Lovers Lane

your nodding yes but you keep on
heading down that wrong way road
with its flashing red warning sign
Danger falling rocks ahead

so barreling headlong we go
throwing caution to the wind
fate never tempted just sealed
i pin the pedal and go for the win

KIDS 1.0
ymmiJ Mar 2019
I'm not your father
I'm your Dad

Trust in me to be both good and
bad like any Dad

To hold you love you and
make you feel glad

But, I will scold your ***
when you are bad

I can try and be fake to
set the perfect example

Well that be a lie and  
that's a bitter root to sample

Trust in the lord is
my best advice

Humanity? You ask, that's  
a roll of the dice
Little seeds I drop on my kids heads every now and then. Put into words on a page this time though.
