Boardwalk beasts

Had to laugh; a few weeks ago
Was walking out; don't you know
It took my fancy to laugh a bit
As I was feeling sad; no doubting it
Mum's anniversary was coming up
Sadness welled up inside my heart
I tried so hard to get over it
These silly faces finally did the trick
I saw birds and odd creatures; true
Made me smile; made my day; strewth
I was actually grinning from ear to ear
As I walked along the boardwalk; hu hu
Thank you Lord for lightening my load
Felt much better as I walked the road
A little silliness saved the day
And I smiled as I went on my way

The edge of the sea

I love being at the edge of the sea
For here I rest; peacefully
Listening in to the breath of life
That comes from the earth
As she sighs and cries
For you and for me...

Mickey junior

The pup was stillborn
After Kessie delivered
The placenta before him
I showed Mickey his son
He licked his face
Tried to wake him
By pulling at his fur
Licking him constantly
For a few minutes
It was precious to see
My beautiful pet
Trying desperately
To wake his newborn son

From late 1990's

Elfy's picture of grandma

Elfy drew a picture of grandma
After seeing her being treated
By the ambulance crew
Seeing our distress
She said...
"Grandma is sleeping
She's not hurting now!"

Lizards sunning

So many snakes and lizards

Out sunning themselves

In the glorious spring weather

The copperhead was dead

Saw many bearded dragons

Sunning themselves as well

Upon posts; in their little territories

Some smooth and shiny too

From the recent shedding 

Of their dried old dusty skins

Poor little seahorse

Poor little seahorse
Washed up upon the shore
Wish I could have known you 
when you were alive; and more

Poor little seahorse
Lying stiff and cold
Wish I could have held you
Sent you back; alive; to your home

My better half by Sandor Szabo

Dad told me about his love for mum
"My better half" He said
"Not many man have had
Such a wonderful wife as I have had...
Roza never complained...
Through good times and through bad
She worked so very hard...
Mum was the glue that held our family together...
