a girl FRIEND2FRIEND

She looks like the typical Cali girl To us she’s a jewel, a diamond, a pearl When she smiles she brightens up the room And for a minute lessens our sense of gloom Katie is her name, the clubhouse intern She’s so unlike others, she’s friendly, not stern May she always keep this sunny disposition […]

BOUNDLESS

I once had a love to last    for all my days What I wouldn’t do for it     let me count the ways It was a love I had    lost because of sin When I look at your face now,     what’s written now is "el fin" What will it take to    pick up all the shattered […]

Infinity

our lives are stitched from suture to suture into a quilt made of past, present and future the lives we have led make up our psyche and what it has taught us can tell whether we have a recipe with all the ingredients to be one with it all, not just be expedient we’ve grown, […]

ODE TO CHAPLAIN BRYAN

Whenever he speaks,   I have a warm feeling inside     And my despairs and fears vanish       not lurking within to hide I never gave much thought   to what most people had to say     But having known you Chaplain       I know that I’m on my way As you have counseled all of us here,   Godspeed on your […]

Ode to Father Joe and his Village

I’ve caught a glimpse of him   maybe once or twice Perhaps I didn’t get him at the right time,   he didn’t have a smile, not very nice One time an article about cars   purchased from his auction lot appeared Stirring up a frenzy as if this man is   a criminal, someone to be feared So […]

A POEM CALLED LOVE

We think of four letter words   as mean and dirty But there is one that is beautiful,   can even be flirty It is love, which takes   on many and various forms It is the one we have for ourselves,   though, that ought to be the norm We often hear how people are   crazy about it, […]
