Not a Worthwhile Poem
Time to write, I know not what. It seems I've been in quite the rut. No words flow, no words stick, It's enough to make this writer sick! LOL! Seriously though, I've been in the throes of some tense situations these past weeks. The advice of my psychologist is to take time to think about …

With My Soul
If I seek you, will I find you,Through the chaos of the day?Though the world would try to hide youWill you lead me in the way?When I'm trembling and I'm humbledAnd my world just falls apart,Though it passes understanding,Will your peace stay in my heart?Though my mind is racing endless,And my thoughts they go astray,Will …
Hold My Hand
Hold my hand when I am youngKeep me safe from hurtful thingsFrom racing cars and barking dogsAnd in the night with darkness falling.Hold my hand when I am sweetIn tenderness and playful jestsOn long walks and quiet eveningsAnd just because you are the best.Hold my hand when I am wedIn the good times and the …
