Let’s just make up our
Minds that we are happy.
We laugh, bottle up that
Black poison, throw it in
The river and draw cups
Of pure water. We are a
Family, our only one.

The Magician
Our next door neighbor was a
Kindly elderly man who told
Us he was a retired magician.
He would gladly come over
When invited for dinner. And
He would amaze our youngest
Daughter with magic tricks.
One evening he told us this
May be the last time he
Would be able to make it
Over–he had an incurable
Disease and would soon
Perform the ultimate
Disappearing act.
What Do You See?
There are many different
Kinds of cloud shapes
That can be seen in the
Sky above. Children like
To lie down on their
Backs in a field and look
At the big puffy curious
Clouds high in the sky
On a warm summer day.
Some people think they
See angel clouds, others
Think they see shapes
Of animals. When you
Look up at the sky
What do you see?
