I’m sitting
on the porch swing,
thinking of how
he and I
used to
sit and swing
together.
The stars are duller
than and old pocketknife.
They used to sparkle
like five-carat diamonds.
I wonder,
is heaven
up in the stars?
Beyond the stars?
Can he see them
like I see them?
Is he wishing?
like I’m wishing?

When Should You?
A man searches for an answer.... When to make the right actions?
photo link
When should you share a smile?
When all's well and you're doing fine
When all things good and you're in cloud nine
And when giving love is all worthwhile.
When should you make a sacrifice?
It is when you open your eyes to others needs
When you help not for your own interest
And when you always offer yourself for service.

Love Sonnets: 016, 012, 035
Written by yours truly, these three sonnets are really imperfect sonnets, trying to at least resemble, the Shakespearean sonnet pattern, a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g.
Sonnets 016, 012 and 035 are imperfect sonnets with a description of a perfect love written in three different ways.

Writing a Poem: To Heed An Angel's Call
Angels are great inspirations for most writers, particularly for poets. An angel can be interpreted differently. While an angel is usually referred to as a creature from heaven, with a beautiful face and with a pair of cottony, white wings; an angel can also be pertained to a being from hell. In the poem of yours truly, the angel is someone of a pleading type. I believe she is someone with a good heart, yet a really broken one.

Mother, Thou Art Special..
A humble tribute to a very special woman this Mothers Day.
private photos by author
I’m a blind witness
To all you have gone through
Each dawn greeted with gladness
Each dusk brought a handful of sacrifices.

A Cycle Called Life
A father's simple definition of life.
Thank you Lord for my three children
Sweetness and thoughtfulness they have given
Hardships and blessings we all bear
When each one was born, life got better.

Daybreak
As long as there is tomorrow, there is always hope. Ugly circumstances or trials happen, yet we must never give up because these things are part of life. Let our scars heal and move on.
Hoping to inspire.
Enjoy.
