There Have Been Many Roads
That I’ve Traveled With You
For Raymond,
In my years of this life
On this planet
There have been many roads
That I’ve traveled with you.
And this one is the best.
It is because I have known you and the world
In ways that I have been blessed,
And continue to be so, even at this time,
In ways that I truly understand,
Because you have been alongside,
and with me, still.
Wherever the two of us have been
We have traveled that road together,
And this one is the best.

And so the journey begins
Across the centuries
It has been so
The brilliance of today’s life
Becomes an energy
That jus’ goes off somewhere
With no memory
But the moment
that comes in dreams

Crowns of Blue Memory
They wore crowns of blue memory
Even among their clothes, that day,
When she hushed her Dad’s speech
By a turn and a cheek and a look
that was definitively, her own.
“I AM my Father’s Daughter!”
She seemed to be saying,
“And I love him so much
I can shut him up!”

Ten Fingers
Hands that reach out,
Touch, and gesture,
Saying, “It’s that small,
Or large,” and
“See, that’s who I am,”
As the near two-month old
Holds court with the youngin’s
While ten fingers grasp
Each moment, holding each
Minute true in his hands,
As each hour gives light,
And each day, its night.

A Brush of Hair
Military cut
Squared-shouldered
Broad Smile
Captured pose
Who would think
This would all be
Spoken so
With a brush of hair.
