She hath wings

Learning to soar above life's storms

  • How could You have stood there, Without a word to say, As they jeered and mocked and bound You up Leading You away. I would have had a thousand words To silence all their lies, But every word You didn’t say Was spoken through Your eyes; For while they made a fool of You, And…

  • Standing there under warm lights, Violin raised and bow drawn, I found you in that sea of faces At sweet, innocent, fifteen. I’d never seen you through that lens And perhaps never will again; A thrill not equalled on that stage- Proud moment standing still. As I played, you did not know The ballad became…

  • A Christmas Reflection

    As the Christmas lights dim and carolling ceases, Children’s toys litter the floor in pieces – My reflective mood comes to the surface again; Time to stop and pick up the pen!

    You called me beautiful; I wondered what you saw – Am I beautiful because you remember what I was, Or do you know what’s deep inside? I have known you for so many years And never once Did you speak harsh words Or make me feel small You’re a giant in my eyes – And…

  • You lug the giant watering can, Helping the garden grow, Content to follow and help where you can – Running to and fro. Your sunny disposition is a blessing to me And I love your innocent ways – Whereever you go there’s a joyful song, And pleasant are the days. All too soon you will…
