up at one a.m.
not because of worries

Someone I’ve known and worked with for years recently went to Vegas and got married. I honestly couldn’t be happier for him and his new…

in my day and night
How did this haiku come to be (other than the fact that my beautiful bride is the most amazing woman I know)? Here’s how…
hard words

flowing out my pen
Yes, I didn’t post yesterday. While I had several in the hopper, I didn’t have time to ‘polish’ before sending. I needed some time and today I found…
brought into this world
to love one of my daughters
a kind, gentle soul

when I need her most
Why? Because that’s who the woman I married is… and I am grateful for that every single day.
amidst tears of joy

from a mother’s love
A haiku for a family member on a special day.

can be a lifeline as well
if you just let it
This one is not my story to tell. Let me just say that I was glad to be in the right place at the right time with the right words to make a difference in someone’s day.
