CHOICE
If you were a brick,
and if you had a choice,
where would you like to end up?
Near the front door, as part of
the front steps, with a chance
to listen to folks each evening?
Up near the top where you could
see two different streets and the
harbor – seeing ships come and go?
As a paper weight of a musician
working on an opus – near an
open window – composing greatness?
What about being part of a prison,
a hospital, a nursing home, a day care
center, a stadium or a church?
If you were a brick,
would you ask, “Can I’ll tell you
where I don’t want to be?”

PRODIGAL SON
There are moments and
there are moments ….
There are memories and
there are memories ….
Some moments become
memories we can’t forget ….
The son messed up.
All he remembered was the embrace.
The father waited.
All he remembered was the “Thank you.”
The older brother missed the celebration.
All he remembered was the refusal.

MUSIC
I don’t know about you,
but most of the time,
I don’t get music, notes,
tones or tunes. I know there
are different instruments –
and I know the sounds they make.
For example, pianos, drums,
trombones, and saxophones,
but I don’t know how to play them.
Sometimes music takes
on the savage beast in me.
Sometimes I tap my fingers
and tap my toes. Sometimes
I connect drums to the drum
beat in my heart – so I hope
that means there is hope for me.
Toot. Toot. How about you?
