Celebrating Grief
The Life Celebration we’re sharing,
Is filled with the grief we are bearing.
Yet, that’s only part,
That fills up each heart.
It shows us how much we are caring.

Conservation Revelation
You can’t tell a gift by its wrapping.
May quietly come without flapping.
It could come to be,
A sight that you see.
Some new view that sets your hands clapping.

Flood of Help
When I need to make a decision,
I think through and try to envision.
On this hand, I stand.
On the other hand …
I can’t look ahead with precision!

Gift of Time and Attention
When I’m given time and attention,
Authentically without pretension,
No re-quir-e-ment,
No hidden intent.
A Life Light that’s worthy of mention.

Rich Reunions
My third shift is Making Connection,
Beware of choosing this selection—
By reaching someone,
You may well have fun,
And likely results in affection!

Staying On Course
Today my bike tripping is ending,
I’m grateful I’ve had the time spending,
Those miles on the road,
Creating an ode,
Of biking and friendship, all blending.
Best Rest
I wonder, what constitutes resting?
A wild type of fun and some jesting?
What do you think of,
When speaking with love?
Rest comes with the care you’re investing.

Rich Juicy Wonderful Life
Time that we share is so fleeting,
Time for our news and great eating.
Our voices in song,
With right notes or wrong,
A tuneful addition to meeting.

Days of Different
I’m viewing the wonder of new sights,
Flowers, and ocean, and mountain heights.
Magnificent—true!
Still, visits with you
Are brightest for me, beyond city lights.

Angels as Strangers
I start out with much apprehension.
My thinking’s reflecting my tension.
And what I have found,
As we move around,
It’s Help. It’s the “screw-up prevention.”

Go For the Nugget
Slowly at levels I thought I’d hate,
Active, with goal to regenerate.
I think you’ll agree
I surely can be
Living quite fully at any rate.

Help is a Decision Away
When trying is quite ineffective
I CAN take a route that’s corrective.
And ask for your “hand”
With what I have planned.
Results now are good, not defective.
