Snowdays

The dog can't be seen where the snow drift peaks
and the kids are laughing at him with bright rosy cheeks.

They talk of skiing and skating,
of tubing and sledding,
don't know what to do first.
They hurry to put on their hats, boots and mitts
for today is a snow day and they're free to be kids.

So they run and they play and they tumble and fall ;
Thinking snowdays aren't bad...not bad at all.

Memory Lane

It's a funny feeling,
when the past reaches out to you.
When almost forgotten images
pop up from out of the blue.

Issues that were important then,
don't seem to mean a thing anymore
and today you can smile at
what used to shake you to the core.

But it's nice to hear a voice from the past,
to hear how lives have developed since then.
So, enjoy the trip down memory lane,
'cause nobody knows, how long it might last.

Settling into a room so familiar and warm
ready to relax and embrace the calm.

Listening to the street noise fade away
and watching dimness win over the light of day;
Following shadows that dance across walls
with ease
staying still, so as not to disturb the peace.

And finally,
glancing at you as
you're sending a smile my way...
Did I tell you?
This is my favourite time of day.

Looking at Me

Have you ever looked in the mirror and not recognized the image?

Have you ever looked inside only to find exposed
what you are so desperately trying to hide?
Fear and agony, anger and insecurity?

Have you ever thought a thought so vengeful and cold it scared you?
And perhaps for an instance you wanted to follow through?

I have. And though I know that's not the most important part of me
it makes me question my integrity.

So tell me: If I'm looking in the mirror and cannot trust the view
then how am I to trust what I seem to see in you?

Thanks for the thought

Are you wondering how I am, after all that you've done?
Did you think I would falter, wouldn't want to go on?

Well, at first I was struggling, that much is true.
It hurt to find out how misplaced my trust was,
along with my love for you.

But I found love again, a good one this time.
With someone who's willing to put his heart on the line.

My hope is, you too, found what you sought.
As for me...I am great, thanks for the thought.

Your children are well, they are wonderful kids.
Hard to believe you won't see them, you don't know what you've missed.

They too were hurting a lot
but they are doing ok now, thanks for the thought...
