Everybody needs a hero.
I struck it rich,
was granted two.

My mom and dad were there for me
through good and bad,
no matter what.

They guided me along the path
past obstacles
to my future.

Up and down steep hills we went.
We did struggle,
but here I am.

beach
sandy, crowded
swimming, surfing, burning
tides, dunes, streams, trails
hiking, camping, puffing
rocky, steep
mountain

The train of time
keeps on rolling
down the tracks,
past birthdays,
graduations,
weddings, retirement,
and obituary.

Still,
the train of time
keeps on rolling.

I remember when you and me,
sitting under the apple tree,
launched destiny with our first kiss,
and thus began our years of bliss.

Our wedding vows with family,
taken under the apple tree,
secured the bond to last through years
of laughter, arguments, and tears.

Our kids enjoyed their revelry,
running around the apple tree,
as they matured into adults,
making us happy with results.

So, here we are again, you and me
buried under the apple tree,
together for eternity.

Buffalo soldiers
made their mark in history
showing bravery
and tenaciousness in spades,
despite racial prejudice
and native unrest.
For years of loyal service,
we still salute them.

The time has come to get away
from stifling urban density
and strenuous commercial fray
in our Winnebago RV.

Instead of irksome traffic blare,
we can enjoy the crickets' choir
and sensory treats beyond compare
wrapping us in marvel to inspire.

Hypnotized by fireflies that flash
all around us when sun goes down,
we join in Mother Nature's bash,
admiring her lavender gown.

Living in our culture,
where Hip Hop meets scripture
and politicians speak in tongues
to dodge accountability
for their deceptive missions,
like hungry vultures,
we must be alert
to question specific details
beyond their crafty talking points.

On Flanders Field,
where artillery shells
churned up the dirt
and killed many soldiers,
poppy seeds began to bloom.

Along with crimson poppies,
military cemeteries appeared
to honor the sacrifices
of those who gave their lives
on that hallowed ground

We ain't gettin' no younger,
but still endurin' the hunger
that keeps drivin' us insane.

In spite of loneliness and pain,
the dreams of yesterday
keep tauntin' us to our dismay.

The time has come to find new dreams
and quiet all those mental screams.

Don't forget your string of pearls--
those pearls of wisdom
to guide you along
the path of life.

Be careful what you're wishing for,
because the light sometimes shines
on webs of temptation
to lead you down the wrong path.
