My candle burns for all the world.
It burns for folks like me –
who simply want to live their lives
in peace and dignity.

This blessing is my gift to you.
Pink Primrose
My pretty pink primrose lifts up her face,
and smiles at the golden sun.
She offers the world her sweet, smiling embrace –
her beauty enfolds ev’ryone.
No Kings March, 2026
I fly my country’s flag today.
I stand with those who say:
This is a land of Liberty.
No tyrants shall hold sway.
I stand with those who care for truth,
and heed the urgent call:
This is a land of Liberty,
and Justice is for All.
No Kings
No kings.
No thrones.
No tyranny.
I want our country to be free.
I speak for those who want a voice.
I speak for those who want a choice.
I want smart leaders,
wise and true,
who give their best for me and you.
No kings.
No thrones.
No tyranny.
Stand up today and keep us free.
A Duck’s Day
The duck went down into the town.
He did the things ducks do.
He had some fun.
When he was done,
he said:
“Quack! Quack! to You!”
The Old Woman’s Choices
She gave a dollar when she could.
She gave it ‘cause she thought she should.
The sharing gave her peace of mind,
for in her heart, she’d chosen “kind”.
A Blessing for the Traveler
Blessed be the traveler –
by water, land, or air.
May he be safe from any harm
that broaches anywhere.
May he be guided by the light
that leads him on his way.
May he be resting safe tonight,
refreshed, throughout his day.
Blessings for Today
May this day be filled with blessings.
Ev’ry hour. Ev’ry minute.
May you feel the love around you
ev’ry moment you are in it.
Blessings.
Uvalde, Texas
The Uvalde children haunt me.
Filled with life and innocence.
Can’t we love and help our children?
Can’t we use some common sense?
