I don’t have answers
as I watch the waves
rolling towards me
reassuring me…
I don’t need answers
jagged rocks
reminding me
that my thoughts
will always be fractured,
calming the questions
like the seagull
gliding so effortlessly
before me.

It was a day
unlike any other,
I marched for myself
I marched for my brother.
I felt so determined
to walk with love and belief
and to march with so many
was such a relief.
But, to go it alone,
with my head held high
to march toward a future
Is something I’ll try.

as the end of 2016 nears I feel I need to say something positive as we go forward to 2017…
Thank you God
for all that’s right,
the flowing waves
the shining light
the wooded forest,
and sky so bright
the sound of birds
so sweet in flight
Thank you God
for all that’s right.

There is beauty
everywhere
every day
in
everyone of us…
Sometimes it’s unclear
and hard to spot
but look for it,
try to feel it…
We all need
beauty in our world
choose to look
in that direction…

A new day
a fresh start
learn from the past
listen from your heart –
your thoughts may change
set a new goal,
look forward to life
discard what is old –
let your spirit soar
laugh and smile,
listen, love, glow
and maybe go the extra mile!

This is not the way
this road is not secure
and I feel
I need to let you know
this road is not the
cure.
Our path is chosen
for us
we must believe
that’s true,
for all the struggles
we have
fought,
the path still leads
to
you.

The waves are out
the birds tip toeing
in between the cracks
of the uncovered shoreline,
searching for treats
to fill their mouths,
to share later
with their offspring,
teaching us
that life is about
sharing and being
generous,
sometimes in spite
of what we need
ourselves
when the tide
is
out.
