Vacations Are Fun
My ears are up
there’s a smile on my face
I’m so happy
to be back in my place.
I’ve eaten my dinner
played with the boys
even had fun
with the old chew toys.
Vacations are fun
but home is best
finally I’ll have
a little quiet and rest.

A Wonderful Gift
I feel a kinship
with most dogs I meet
they look in your eye
and want to greet.
Wag their tail
wiggle their butt
doesn’t matter
purebred or mutt.
Dogs share out lives
a wonderful gift
put on earth
to give man a lift.

My Old Sneakers
My old sneakers look abused
that’s because they’ve really been used.
They’ve traveled are and traveled near
if you listen closely, many stories you’ll hear.
They’ve walked the roads, tracked thru grass
sometimes sloww and sometimes fast.
I’ll miss my friends when they’re thrown away
I hear them wish that they could stay.

The Christmas lights lay dark and dormant
Through rain, fog and snow.
Waiting for that spark to brighten their lives
Become a brilliant light show.
They’ve been strung with care
Every bulb tested and tightened
Cords stretched thru the yard
The night soon to be brightened.
The sun sets, the yard lights up
A beautiful sight, a thrill to the eyes
Warms our hearts, brightens our spirits
The Christmas gift no longer a surprise

October’s Clear Blue Skies
October’s incredible clear blue skies
pleases our mind, a joy to our eyes
Gives us a lift from hot summer days
prepares us for winter – it’s cold, cold ways
A beautiful gift and memory too
as skies turn grey hiding the blue

Sitting in the Sun One Last Day
Sitting in the sun
one more day
maybe the last
November on its way
Beautiful blue skies
colorful leaves
one last day
in a warm gentle breeze
Sweet smelling leaves
buds still blooming
not really knowing
winter is looming
One last day
enjoying the fall
winter too close
not far at all

Love
Unconditional
no boundaries –
not wheel chairs
age
health
or social status
Always real
Always true
There will always be a sunrise
Although at times it is
Hidden by thick grey clouds
Obscured by wind and snow
Blocked by fog and mist
Invisible through sheets of rain
Out of sight but always there
There will always be a sunrise

Nature Wakes From a Deep Winter Sleep
No longer do I see bare bark and naked limbs
Bright new green hides the branches
Flowering buds dress the trees
Nature wakes from a deep winter sleep

Winter Sunshine
Winter sunshine cheers us up
A glow of warmth and hope
Grey and cold chased away
As sun replaces snow

All Kinds of Weather
The rain and clouds will soon be gone
although they often feel so wrong
without the grey there can’t be sun
it takes all kinds of weather
to make the world run

Care For A Friend
Help care for a friend
find a home, help him mend.
Has a heart of gold
has to move – he’s told.
Find a place, a nice new home
where people care – he can roam.
His eyes are lonely, can’t you see
just wants love, somewhere to be.
Holds no grudges, has a happy heart
looking for a family, a brand new start.
Care for your friend, any way you can
a helping hand, a ride in a van.
Just a warm wish, tossed his way
may be all he needs to make his day.… Read the rest
