We’re heading down to see the Fair.
We’re running at full gallop.
We find excitement ev’rywhere.
We’re Doing the Puyallup!
A Miracle at Home
A garden is a miracle.
It makes the broken whole.
It fills the eyes with beauty.
It feeds body, mind, and soul.
Today
May you take a magic carpet ride.
May you find a four leaf clover.
May leprechauns bring a pot of gold.
And, then, may you do it over.
The Future
The kids are heading back to school.
They’re lining up to catch the bus.
What they’re learning, at work and play,
sets the future for all of us.
Tonight’s Blessing
May this Blessing wrap around you –
–nestle you within its arm –
—comfort you and make you happy—
—-give you shelter from all harm.

Uvalde, Texas
The Uvalde children haunt me.
Other kids head back to class.
And, somewhere, down in Texas,
children lay beneath the grass.
Pumpkin
A bright little pumpkin sits at my back door.
It simply reminds me that summer is o’er.
The Caged Bird
I don’t know why the caged bird sings.
I think I’d find it hard
to never get to lift my wings
in a cage that’s locked and barred.
Mankind and Rabbits
A Blank-e-ty Rabbit
is back in my yard.
Eating zucchini.
Making life hard.
Mankind and Rabbits
cannot co-exist!
The rabbits must go!
I simply insist!
Today
May you dance today through fairy dust.
May you slide right down a rainbow.
May your heart be filled with happiness.
And your life go where your dreams go.
