to keep me company.
Memories of those
who I will never see again.
I sit and tell them
all my ills and woes;
it’s comforting in the silence
as the long shadows grow.
I tell them how my life has changed
since they went away
and that I hope to see them again
when it is my time to go.
They don’t answer me
like they used to do,
still it is comforting
as the hours pass on their way.
Just sitting here chatting
like I used to do
late into the evening tide
as the long shadows grow.

and with a little faithone day I may get there.Where everything is equaland shared equally the same.Faith leads as we ventureon across the bridge of hopeand into the arms of charity.Each day we may struggleto keep our lives afloatas we venture closerto the bridge of hope.10 February 2009
You sit down for a few moments,and suddenly your mind just drifts away.You start dreaming of thingsthat happened in your yesterdays.One minute you are in real time,next you’re gone to imaginary.No one can tell when these dreamsare going to happen.If anyone sees you,for their money they getjust a blank stare.22 February 2008
