Memories Lost
I know they are there … those memories; Some may be found, The siblings I think I have, I don’t remember much anymore. The wife I came to love; She may be passed; Married over 60 years. My five children; I do cherish so much; They all visit me, all but one. […]

The Power of Love
Something about Vicki B. that stood out to me was her emotion when she was speaking on the topic of love. I decided to write a poem about a love story, as it was one concept she had many ups and downs with. It was interesting to me as the element of love was one […]

Every other night, Soon after, a wonderful wedding, a first step, Into our lifelong journey – May 12, 1953. Travelling to Canada Hand […]
