Best Gift

If I never got another gift in my life,

I have been blessed more than a great many people.

I am grateful to those who shared the most precious gift with me.

Jesus.

No matter what happens on this earth,

what ill befalls me, it gets better after this.

French Christmas

Whether you are near or far,

I hope you are keeping warm with love ones,

remembering good times,

and counting your blessings.

Shout Out to SCC

This is a shout out to my cousin who lives in Santa Clarita

who I think of often and think of fondly.

I think about when the fires go out and the smoke clears,

how great it must be to winter there.

Signs of Summer

These are magic adirondack chairs.

When you sit in them, you can

smell meat charring on the grill,

hear ice clinking in your tall sun tea,

taste the ice cream melting on your tongue

while the breeze tussles your hair.

They're summer invitations.
