Generosity of spirit flies, fills the world Each giving to the extent of their ability Each receiving to the level of their need Not a social utopia; humanity’s maturity May we be allowed to mature, can it be Children now, bullies, rules a fluid tome One way only, our rules, toys, hill, tree If you […]
Eyes grown dim and cloudy My memory starts to fade Not only the daily panoply But the choices I have made The horrors of youth soften Music, laughter fill the gap I always wonder how often My dark and light overlap
