blink - summer

you were tiny,

oh, so small

that’s how it was

remembering it all….

blink

trying to catch you

giggling with glee

happy, happy moments

make it a memory….

blink

able to do things

on your own

how could it be?

almost grown….

blink

graduation party

at our home,

turning point in lifetimes

what lies ahead, unknown?....

blink

these days it’s all a jumble

of adults and children coming

dealing with it day by day

time itself seems to be running….

blink

my eyes are fastened on you

taking one last drink

before forever closing them -

it all happened

in a blink….

Psalm 17:7,8

Show me the wonders of your great love,
    you who save by your right hand
    those who take refuge in you from their foes.
⁸ Keep me as the apple of your eye.... 

4 walls - summer

A world exists beyond 4 walls where

there's sunlight, sound and unfiltered air,

but days and money and lives are spent

creating an inside world of events;

controlling the lights from screen to screen

there's nothing natural to be seen

except for the people who ocassionally shift

from one to the other like a boat adrift.

You have to wonder on what meaning it's based

as life on the outside is sadly being replaced.

Here's where I like to enjoy the summer.......
