Or read the poem:

Snow at Sea Level

The snowflakes are gently falling
As far as the eye can see
California does not get snow here
How can this be

To look around and see it all white
It is so different in the morning light

You can hear the children's laughter
With sounds of glee
Making a snowman
For all to see

Snow at sea level
Will not stay
Memories are made
On this very special day

For All the Little Things

We have spent our life together
We would not have it
Any other way

I am glad you are always near
It comforts me
More than I can say

You hold me close
If I am sad
You warm my heart
When you hold my hand

For all the little things
You always do for me
They count more than you know
I am glad that you love me

Or read the Poem:

Vger, My Sweet Little Kitty

I feel this love for my kitty
Who has been with me for years
I do not want to be without her
As she ages
It brings about that fear

I took her to the doctor
This bleak and dreary night
I hoped my love for her
Could give her the strength
So that everything
Would be all right

We would like a little more time
My sweet little kitty and me
She is more important
Than I can say
She is part of my family

I treasure the time
I have with her
I know that she loves me
In my arms she always purrs
So happy to be with me

A Poem About Summer

Audio Poem Click to Listen - Summer Time
Or read the Poem:

Summer Time

Meet some friends
At the park
No one wants
To go home
Before it is dark

There are lots of
Games to play
Which ones should
We play today

Red light, green light
Hop scotch too
Running through the sprinklers
Is fun to do

A hat will keep
Your eyes
In the shade
Summer time is fun
In every way

A Poem About Life

Audio Poem Click to Listen - What Gets Your Attention
Or read the Poem:

What Gets Your Attention

Body language gives us away
When our mind is wandering
We all let our minds wander
Most of the time
It is done without thinking

How often have you heard
When someone comes close to death
Once it is all over
They appreciate each day
Better than the rest

Knowing that humans
So often take things for granted
Not until after something is gone
Is it really appreciated

Could it be something as simple
As paying attention
That makes humans have these tendencies
After all life is based on
What gets your attention
It is the things
That you tuck away in your memories

To notice things around you
You just simply need to see
New insights stimulate the mind
It enhances life
As it helps to fulfill your needs

Body language signals convey
What we do not
Put into words
If someone is attentive
The message is easily translated
As if we were heard

If you do not pay attention
Missing out is what you will get
What happens before your very eyes
Is your best chance yet

What you ignore
You do not experience
You miss the significance
Of what it could be

The human mind
Relates to the things
That we
Choose to see

A Poem Dedicated to Young Boys
Who seek answers to become young men

Audio Poem Click to Listen - He Will Seek the Answers
Or read the Poem:

He Will Seek the Answers

What happens to a young boy
During adolescence
Life changes as he strives
For independence

Changes in his hormones
Cause a bit of instability
It is necessary
For physical and emotional maturity

Physically his body changes
His voice deepens
He gets taller and stronger

Emotionally his intellect increases
As he searches for answers
He considers the aspects of reason
With it he draws his own conclusions

A warm stable environment
Helps to develop trust
To feel that he is worthy
Comes from love
Which is a must

With an emphasis on self reliance
He feels a sense of belonging
He learns from
Adult interaction and observation
He reinforces his emotional security

With a stronger understanding
Of right and wrong
His opinions and individuality
Is becoming strong

As his opinions mature
He will find his way
He will be a unique individual
Quite in his own way

Morality needs to be
Within his comfort zone
As he makes up his own mind
Thinking what is right for him
The decision will be his to find

In relating to others he provides
A little compassion with empathy
His values are conceived
As his opinions reach maturity

He grew up in a culture
That was socially and historically defined
Strategies create new opportunities
With his integrity
Along with his own standard development
The future can be refined

His success in life will depend
On his emotional and moral development
The future has endless possibilities
He will seek the answers
He will strive toward
Independence and achievement

A Little Home of your Own

Audio Poem Click to Listen - The American Dream
Or read the Poem:

The American Dream

To buy a house
The stress gets high
Yet another thing to do
Starts to make you sigh

Your life is dictated
With deadlines and tasks
You wonder if you will ever
Get to the end
Definitely not very fast

The house finally closes
The stress is done
Getting the key
Is the beginning
Of the fun to come

The American Dream
Is to have a home of your own
Now you have the key
It is time to build
Your memories

A Little Individual Ingenuity

Audio Poem Click to Listen - The Uniqueness of Human Creativity
Or read the Poem:

The Uniqueness of Human Creativity

To establish purpose and
Define intensions

Creative ideas stimulate
Originality and motivation

To be at the forefront
Of something new
Is to leave the safety
Of tradition behind

It means that things
Will change for the better
Providing that you dedicate
Enough time

The willingness
To take a risk
Provides an opportunity
For discovery

To be passionate
In what you do
Provides the key
For your creativity

Expectation of conformity
Can hinder
Natural creativity

Encouragement from an early age
For this natural ability
Should foster exploration and curiosity

The process of human creativity
In itself is its own reward

To feel immersed
In a challenge means
That you will not
Be bored

The uniqueness of human creativity
Can make a person
Feel vulnerable

To focus on the journey
Using your natural strengths
Is what you will find desirable

Audio Poem Click to Listen - Learning is What we Do
Or read the Poem:

Learning is What we Do

It is important to us
As individuals that
We feel valued

When we do not feel valued
We feel anxious
Vulnerable and discouraged

Learning is what we do
Because we are human
We know that it is true

A little effort everyday
Is sure to help us
To find our way

It is a natural desire
To seek comfort
From one another

A little love can provide
A little commitment
To each other

Our emotions and our intellect
Guides the choices
That we make

Focus with objective thoughts
Provides attention to detail

Choices from this process
Helps us all
So that we can prevail
