wife
came to me
one night in a dream

that was fate

Tribute to Parents

Dad
I do miss
I think of our love
I fall back on memories
I know you're together now
I have no sadness
For now I
Write

****

Mom
I love you
I feel your presence
I know you are real happy
You are in paradise now
You tend God’s gardens
On bended
Knee

****

I Hear angels
You are both among
Mom greets the new arrivals
Dad escorts them to meet God
As Daughter I’m proud
To be your
Seed

****

Now
You must wait
God helps me with verse
I write to praise Holy name
Both of you are guardians
I cherish you both
Forever
Yours
