Building Relationships, Creating Opportunities, Delivering Results

My Writing

I am in the process of re-publishing Views in Progress, Volume I and Creating a Life You Love.  In the meantime, here are a few of my most recent poems...

 

Ideas

Ideas are cheap

Plenty for sale

Need a sure bet

Got one that can't fail

 

Take a dream

Sprinkle it with love

Wrap it in hope

Let it soar like a dove

 

Give it plenty of sun

And a little shade

Trim it every so often

If you notice it fade

 

Tell everyone you meet

Don't keep it inside

It won't have a chance

Got to give it a try

 

The dreams that succeed

Are the ones that don't quit

Pretty sure someone said

Survival of the fit

 

Dreams are not measured

By profit or loss

But a life without dreams

Pays a heavy cost

 

So dream big, dream often

You must sow to reap

Now that’s an idea

That doesn't come cheap

Mom

You give everything

You nearly gave your life

We ask so much

Mom, best friend and wife

 

Your commitment is humbling

Nothing you would not do

Wonder Woman's got super powers

But she's got nothing on you

 

You've got the toughest job

That can never be repaid

Don't you ever forget it

Even when pictures fade

 

A smiling face

And belly laughs

Please's and thank you's

Original crafts

 

Hugs and kisses

Snuggles and winks

Adorable outfits

In browns and pinks

 

These are the gifts

The world receives

Raising our daughter

Still hard to believe

 

She is a blessing

Miracle through and through

That's only made possible

By her Mom, that is you

Wondering

I started wondering

What life is about

Some days, keep it

Other days, throw it out

 

Why am I here

Taking up space

Starting to realize

Just a rat in the race

 

I sit and ponder

Take time to reflect

Just keep thinking

Nothing more than a speck

 

A flash in the pan

A glimmer of hope

I go back and forth

Depends on the scope

 

They say it's all good

But are they for real

Looks different from here

Depends on your deal

 

Gone before you know it

Knowing don't help a lick

What's the point in figuring out

When it's all a magic trick

 

Saving for a rainy day

The sky is threatening

Hoping for a gentle breeze

Make life worth mentioning
