Maybe A Dream
As I walked down the road last night
I caught a glimpse of something white
It seemed to dance among the trees
As if the passersby to tease.
It appeared first here and then there
I paused a moment just to stare
Perhaps only an apparition
A figment of my imagination.
Did anyone else see this sight
That I saw on a moonless night:
A fearful thing it didn't seem
Maybe it was just a dream.

Night Sounds of Suburbia
The moon is obscured by the clouds.
Not one star twinkles in the black
velvet sky.
Crickets chirp happily in the hedges.
A car slithers by: it's headlights
penetrating the darkness.
Down the street, in someone's yard a
dog barks urgently.
Far in the distance an ambulance
wails its sad
and mournful song.
In their houses the people sleep on
Lulled by the night sounds of
suburbia.

Take Time To Listen
Hugs from loving little arms
Help make the world go round
And shouts of childish laughter
Are among this world's sweet sounds.
Innocent upturned faces
Listening to what you say
Make for special memories
Of very special days.
Sometimes you may grow
Impatient with demands of your day
And push away your little ones
Not listening to what they say.
Try to take the time to listen
You'll be so glad if you do
For children are growing every day
And soon are gone from you.
