For Mother

Posted on by

When evening light the garden fills
And shadows fall across the lawn
Beneath the oak,
Down the long path
With trug of windfalls
And a bunch of mint,
I see you coming,
Smiling, to greet us.

Flights of Fancy

Posted on by

If flights of fancy all came true,
would I be me or you be you?
Best trust not fancy’s fickle flame,
Nor yield to wishing’s fruitless game.
As far as I’m concerned, I know
I much prefer the status quo!
You are my joy, my pride, my light,
To you my fancy takes its flight.

Blossom on the snow

Posted on by

Now falls the blossom on the snow
As through the cherry March winds blow
And through my heart the seasons flow.
