WHO SAID?
Who said you can’t make mistakes? Who said you can’t forgive? Who said you can’t say, “I don’t know.” Who said you can’t say, “Let me think about that?” Who said you can’t recover? Who said you can’t begin again? Who said you can’t say, “Who said?”

GOOD THING HE WASN’T
MURDERED
or see in the newspapers that
someone was murdered, I say,
“No!” When I see scenes of
the Nazi concentration camps
being opened, I reflect on
Victor Emil Frankel who survived.
to search for meaning. He
taught us about the need to
want to continue – to know
there are people waiting for
me – that we have a why and
any how to proclaim it counts.

EVERY DAY
Every day every sort of thing happens.
That's what good movies are good for.
They can reveal so much about pretend and love.
Relationships are all about pretend and love.
Watch kids watch adults not watching kids.
When they do they miss out on so much reveal.
But when they do, when they really love
each other, when they avoid pretend, they can see
the love story - the reveal movie - of their lives.

BICYCLE
BUILT FOR TWO
the bicycle built for two,
the bike makers minds' were elsewhere.
They didn’t imagine the couple,
now grey, who would rode that bike
together for 46 years now.
They once told their kids
those Saturday and Sunday rides
kept them together all these years,
but their kids like the bike makers -
didn’t listen – or didn't imagine -
but one day - one did - when their parents
hit 50 golden years riding through life together.
