A Gift is Waiting in Heaven

The dad wrote his son’s obituary,

“Don’t be somber”, he would note…

“We take comfort knowing Jesus prepared,

Jeffery’s favorite Root Beer Float”.

You can bet Jeffery soon discovered,

A heavenly foot long hair…

Everyone knows when Jesus serves,

He wears no hair net “up there”.

Nothing is Real

It seldom matters which path you choose,

When pursuing elusive dreams.

The results are often debatable

Nothing in life’s what it seems.

We have little understanding

Of the universe before us;

Who knows what fish think of the ocean,

Or what Elk do at night in the forest.

My Second Life

I started a blog for others
To share my hopes, dreams and fears,
Unaware I’m the true benefactor;
Remembering laughter, celebrations and tears.

Friends are mentioned liberally,

As well as some favorite songs.
I’ve recalled my magic moments;
Revisited some lifetime wrongs.

Reliving my life on these pages,

Made every word, a second look…
Squeezing extra hours from minutes,
Before it’s time to close the book.

The Lamas Promise

Decades ago my friends and I

Made a solemn and unified promise…

We pledged our souls to the devil,

To even resemble Lorenzo Lamas.

Time has proven Satan reneged,

Observers can easily see…

Time has beaten up Mr. Lamas,

My friends and myself, equally.
