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

If You Wear Green

Saint Patrick's Day
Is a festive day
With Leprechauns
Shamrocks and parades

The Leprechaun
Is clever
As can be
He is an Irish fairy
Who is busy
As a bee

He has pointed ears
With turned up toes
A hidden treasure
That is
A pot of gold

A Leprechaun will pinch
Anyone that can be seen
You will be
Invisible to him
If you wear green

Audio Poem Click to Listen - Think About It
Or read the poem:

Think About It

Think about if you lived in a country
That wasn't free
You would get told where to live
What to believe
What to say

Think about if you had no family
No one to care for you
No one to show you compassion
No one to help you

Think about if you had no education
You couldn't get a job
You couldn't buy food
You would live on the street

Think about if you had no imagination
Anything you read would just be words
Computer games would just be
A couple clicks of the mouse
Nothing would be fun anymore

Think about if you had no trust
You couldn't believe anything anyone said
Or anything you read
You would have no lasting relationships
All these things are important to me

What's important to you?
How would your life change
If you didn't have them

Think about it

Audio Poem Click to Listen - Follow Your Heart
Or read the poem:

Follow Your Heart

It happened so fast
Locked in my memory
The image will last

The peace of the morning
Was gone in a flash
The birds at the feeder
Flushed real fast

The Dove on the roof
Tried to get away
The surprise attack
From the Coopers Hawk
Ended his life that day

This example of life
That was taken in a blink
We are vulnerable
In a mere second
Life can be gone I think

It reminds me that we all have to die
Where we become part of the past
It makes us appreciate
Each moment
Knowing this precious gift will not last

We focus on our lives
We ignore thoughts of death
But to acknowledge the inevitable
Gives us the ability
To choose the right path

With this kind of wisdom
How should we live
Let go of bitterness or regrets
Take from life
Less than we give

Be true to yourself
As you follow your heart
The courage to do so
Is the right way to start

Empathy and compassion
Opens your heart to others
Staying connected
Gives your life more meaning
This can help to make you stronger

The way to die
Is to go without regrets or bitterness
To know that we made a difference
Where we had a little happiness

We may never know
The impact that our life has made
Living with contentment
To find purpose and meaning
Before we fade

The reward is to leave
Your legacy behind
Your impact on others
Is how you will still shine

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

Hand Trained Canaries

Tiki does not want to go back
into his cage yet. A hand trained
Canary can give you a lot of joy.
They usually have terrific personalities.
As you can see Tiki is spoiled.
