When I was small
You'd lift me up
To stand upon your shoes.
You'd hum a tune
And hold my hands;
We'd dance around the room.
Of all the memories
I have gathered,
Here's one I'll never lose:
The memory of dancing tall
On top of Daddy's shoes.

Serenity
Peace is blue:
a June sky
and tranquil sea;
a mountain lake,
still and deep;
a nesting bird
above earth's noise;
a baby's eyes
before she sleeps.

My Childhood Summers
Hot sidewalks sizzling and burning my feet,
Double feature movies for a special treat.
Crosby, Hope and Lamour making me grin,
Vanilla ice cream dribbling down my chin.
Amos and Andy on the radio,
Cherry cokes, Ritz crackers and Oleo.
Trips to the beach in a Model A Ford,
Endless lazy days to sit and be bored.
