FAMILY

Be not a leaf

falling from a tree

Be a branch...

with roots

to ground you.

CHAPTERS IN A BOOK

Looking back at life

like chapters in a book

often added up to the best times

Now I have my last book

empty pages to be filled

I am thrilled to write

my last...story.

looking for your lamb

You are the one

was your song

let me inside

---

My heart was so empty

it cried for love

I allowed you to enter

my most treasured gift
