Oh daddy’s calling
Calling and calling
Over and over again
What does he have to say
Say this time
Will I stop to let him in
The phone keeps ringing
Ringing and ringing
When . . .

It's flying by
Slowly
Day by day
The little girl
The little boy
Grew and flew away
It's flown by
So quickly
Year by year
It seemed just yesterday
One blink of the eye
And it's all . . .

I made my way
Gift in hand
And heart
This cloudless morn
With burning sun reflected
In magical orange and red
Upon the new fallen snow
Walked with slow measured step
To visit you . . .

There was a lass of ignoble birth
Did not let it quantify her worth
From dusk to dawn to she toiled mightily
To enrich her life with steadfast vitality
No more a caring person to be found . . .

She was an artist
A painter of flowers
Small children at play
Of happiness reflected in innocent smiles
She was a poet
A magician with words so plain
The rival of . . .

There are times
During days and long nights
When I sit and stare
Upon the life
That surrounds me now
Would I be here
To enjoy these joys
Temper my sorrows
If you had not shown . . .

I almost missed it
The little gray bird
Nestled to the earth as one
Held tight within the cupped hands of the Mother
Hidden in plain sight
By tones of color subdued
I stopped to watch . . .

I looked at my study window
as the cold rain of March fell
slowly.
Watching rivers of drops
slowly
make their way down the
darkened
pane of glass.
Stopping and starting
as the battle . . .

They say time and love heals all wounds
But what happens
When the wound is caused by time and love
Can it save the heart
Or shall it in the end and beyond
Seal soul's fate to forever . . .

Footprints disappearing in the snow
How often I've desired to follow
Over hill and through the dale
To find a hidden secret vale
Sheltered from cool northern breeze
Rustic cabin in slumbering . . .

Once there lived a tiny little c
Wondered why oh why they pick on me
He went from sentence long and short
He liked to party and cavort
Until one day there came a time
And he became stuck . . .

If I could bear your heavy heart
The weight would be as a feather
Walk with you into the future
Upon new paths
Forever changed by the absence
The bright beckoning light
Muted for a time
A time . . .

When I think about romance
I picture our last dance
You in flowing white
To every man a beautiful delight
But I was the lucky one for years of days
Woke each and every to the sun's . . .

I sleep to dreams of living in WalMart
Have my own personalized cart
I know I know, it's called something different now
Hold your horses, don't have a cow
Why would I want to live in a store . . .

Years pass ever faster
The days grow ever short
So much left not done
So much left not said
How I wish I'd told you
All I wished to you to know
Too many walls I built inside
No doors into . . .

I looked for you
Forever and a day
Within the hills
Down into the greening plain
I looked for you
Upon the highest peaks
Unto the shores of the deep blue seas
I called your name . . .

I saw the house from a distance
The first time I traveled by
Always meaning to stop
But time in its way
Left no room in its hectic schedule
But there came a day
A day of . . .

Step to the left
Step to the right
No music is heard
Except that inside
Step to the left
Step to the right
In mutual embrace
Twin loves aligned
Step to the left
Step . . .
