TAKE GOOD CARE
OF MY DARLING DAUGHTER
Father-Daughter relationships
are so, so different than mother-son
or mother-daughter or father-son
relationships– in fact, all 4 are an
experience to take a good look at.
To walk down the aisle at a daughter’s
wedding, it’s a gift
every father
cherishes for the rest of his life.
Warning to son-in-laws: cherish
my daughter more than I do! Take
good care of my darling daughter.

IT RAINED
It rained and too many people
complained. Some people don’t
take the time to think about
what they are saying.
Let it rain. Let it rain. Let it rain.
Or let the sun or shadows touch
my back porch and I love looking
at the sun setting in the west.
Maybe it will rain tomorrow.
Maybe the sun will shine.
Or maybe it will do both.
Let it be. Let it be. Let it be.

SCULPTURING
Whether we know it or not, we are
forever sculpting each other with
our words – with our looks – with
our way of being with each other.
We are.
Holding a door, allowing another
to get ahead of us to get three
sips of water or to place our order
at a restaurant – all is sculpturing.
We are.
The bad news is that this happens
with bad stuff – like addictions.
The good news is that this happens
with good stuff like
compliments and love.
We are.

WHAT WOULD
IT TAKE?
What would it take to get a standing ovation?
What would it be like to get one – a “Yes!” vote?
Do we all have a gift – a talent – an ability
that could take the house down or do we
have to practice, practice, practice?
Does every person we go by, sit next to
on the train or plane deserve recognition
for their contributions to life on this planet?
People claim to be pro life – yet they yawn,
not listen, and pick up the paper when another
walks onto the stage called “Life!” No! No! No!
Don’t fail to clap for the other. Yes! Yes! Yes!
