Today’s a day for thankfulness

and quiet gratitude.

Our lives are rich with blessings.

We have shelter.  We have food.

I’m a trav’ling man.

I’ve traveled far.

I’ve covered most

this land by car.

I’ve gone by foot

and bus and train.

I’ve crossed the land…

and back again.

You’d think that I

could settle down

and build a life

in some far town.

But ev’ry morning

when it’s dawn

I grab my keys

and travel on.

Let’s sing a song together as

you climb up into bed.

Let’s hum a simple melody

to soothe your busy head.

Let’s share soft words of gentleness

to calm and comfort you.

May you sleep sound throughout the night

and know that I love you.

My geraniums are blooming.

Don’t they know it’s Mid-November?

Do they think that it’s still summer

with the hot days they remember?

Are they blooming with such vigor

‘cause of memories they recall..

still living in a warmer past?

Did they miss when it turned to Fall?

May you walk in happiness.

May you walk in light.

May your day be filled with joy.

May quiet fill your night.

Here’s a simple lullaby to

cradle you, and hold you….

and slip with you

into sweet dreams

that comfort and enfold you.

Samantha is a friendly cat.

She doesn’t ask for much.

She likes a well-filled belly.

She likes a gentle touch.

She likes to find a quiet place

where she can take a nap.

And she prefers that place to be

on some well-padded lap.

The rabbits have all disappeared.

They‘re absent from my yard.

Perhaps they’ve gone to find a place

where winter’s not so hard.

Perhaps they’ve gone to find a place

where they would rather be.

I hope wherever they have gone

it’s far away from me.

I’m writing to the President.

I only have one plea.

Can’t we agree upon One Time,

and then just let it be?

My candle burns for all the world.

Its flame stands clear and true.

It shines for people ev’rywhere,

and it also shines  for you.
