Happy Father’s Day
I’m sharing with you my Father’s Day poem to my dad. Feel free to edit it and use it as a gift for your own Father, or order your own personal poem this Father’s Day.
With such fond memories of childhood
It’s hard to know where to start
but for each and every happy one
You certainly have been a part…
From the time when I was a little girl
and danced on top of your shoes
to the times when I was growing up
and you made me less confused
Like when we were skiing together
and a teenage boy on the chairlift was bold
he had the nerve to put his arm around me
even after I told him I was ten years old!
I threatened his life and told his friends
and complained to you all the way home
You listened calmly, an occasional chuckle
and then you made your feelings known
You reached your hand accross to me
and said, “Don’t you worry Jay,”
“Just do the same with all the boys
and you’ll be better than okay.”
Your advice to me so honest and true
and never was it prolific
from “Don’t lose your independence”
to “I think that Jim is TERRIFIC!”
Thanks not only for being there
but also for being my friend
for sharing with me your leisure time
not the usual father/daughter trend
You’re so much more than a “good father”
going far beyond what is obligatory
You participate in our lives
and truly enjoy our company
And I get to relive my memories
of growing up all over again
as I share with you in love and joy
as you spend time with your grandchildren
Poetry | A Spritual Experience
Poetry | A Spritual Experience
An invitation
for revelation
about creation
to make the sensation
of Peace
Let my remembering never cease
but my practice increase
to bring me release
of ego
Help me to know
to learn as I show
wherever I go
The Light that is within me

This is a poem that my friend Sue shared with me. She has given me permission to share it with all of you.
Coming Home
I tugged the safety belt
one more time
pulling the parachute
as close to me
as my thoughts.
The plane left the ground
rising upward like a lost balloon.
my chest heaved
the constant thrum of […]
Summer Spirit | Writing Light
Summer Spirit | Writing Light
A special thanks to Deb Whiting for this analogy…
A friend uses an analogy
for the concept that we all are One
just consider our Source
as if it were the Sun
and we are all the Sunbeams
extending that Eternal Light
through any clouded illusions
we see It radiating bright
Our Vision of the Sunbeam
shines away thoughts of separation
the […]
Self Expression | Expressing the Self
For me, poetry has always been a way to gain access to “Truth”. This may be my own personal “truth”, the truth of the Universe, or simply a different perspective. All I know is, that by the time I reach the end of a poem, I feel better. I feel satisfied and fulfilled. I move […]

Oh the woe of website host
some days I’m not inspired to post
so wanting to effect others the most
yet too tired to even raise a toast
Yet this is still my revelry
the very place that I want to be
fulfilling my path and destiny
a creative process for all to see
and so I’ll end this […]
Poetry Contest | A Personal Choice
Poetry Contest | A Personal Choice
Whether or not to enter a poetry contest is a personal choice. On occasion, entry restrictions interefere with freedom of expression.
The following verse is about such restrictions:
Rejected Poetry Contest Entry
(due to line and character restrictions)
Ahh, to be a poet of the literary kind
using metaphor and […]
Discover your gift of poetry…
I believe there is a poet in all of us. Yet, we have this critic within us as well, not to mention all the critics out there, who can not allow us our poetic bliss. I believe that any form of expression is poetry. For me, it is tapping into my source- […]
