Morning Commute
Morning Commute My journey each day weaves my neighborhood I choose to run So my health is good Home is Florida Plenty of heat It’s The Sunshine State It warms the feet Each street I run An abundance of flowers Elegant lawns Summer showers As I travel the road The palms are swaying Colorful housesContinue reading “Morning Commute”
The Family Stone
The Family Stone Mother and father Side by side Watching the ship Slowly disappear Oh how they cried Young son looking on Not yet understanding The pain they endured Saying goodbye is hard When you are left standing The family dog Oblivious to it all Sits patiently by his young master Waiting for his callContinue reading “The Family Stone”
Date
