Quotations by Lincoln
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
“My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of Earth.”
“Ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors to bullets.”
A Perfect
Winter Creativity
Snow brings out the best in children
Celebrating days off from school
Sliding down the hill with friends
Snowball fights
And…
Snowmen (or women)
***********
Those soft white flakes
Powder the ground with welcome
Bringing out amazing creativity
No technology needed
To have a wonderful time
In the snow

Flirtable
music in your voice
music in your voice
.
There is music in your voice
like a summer breeze
so warm and tender
that rustles through my leaves
surrounding me in splendor
There is music in your voice
like a love song
my heart will forever remember
for you are the gentle wind chimes
to which I will always surrender
For Remembering Mary
Another day is cocked and ready to fly
Yesterday another somebody died
but this somebody knew me when I was young
She saw you come into this world
and held your father’s hand to help him cross the street
when he was a child
Those were the days before
The sky, appropriately somber, greets another desperate dawn
where soldiers fight the same old fight
and those who know better lie to our face
Soon I will put my head down again
and watch the sidewalk slip past
but I will take this slice of time
for remembering Mary
before beginning the days after
Gift and curse
I have a sixth sense
I see what lies far beneath the surface of strangers and lovers.
I sense your desires, your fantasies, your needs.
I know what arouses you, what excites you, what makes you ache for release.
I learn your intentions, your agendas, your plans
I feel your hopes.
I watch your dreams.
I divine what you are thinking, what you are wondering, what you are wishing.
And I hear
what you aren’t saying.
.
I have a sixth sense.
It is both gift and curse.
