Waiting For Light
Waiting for the sunrise, so bright and so clear
I hardly could sleep, having nighttime fears.
Calmly, I lay there, hoping for light.
Drinking sleepy time tea to ward off all fright.

Autumn is Here
Warm, shorter days, cooler at night.
Leaves changing colors, so beautiful, so bright.
Apples to cider and pumpkins to pie.
Oh, how appealing to the eye.
Marshmallows are toasting,

Many miles between us, you are so far away.
Tender moments with you in my mind, I constantly replay.
Your leaving me was the hardest thing I ever had to endure.

You were headed for trouble, messing with drugs.
Trying hard to be popular with so-called thugs.
Skipping school here and there, hanging out on the streets.
Little did you know what trouble you would meet.

A mean remark that made you sad.
You still dwell on it, and you get mad.
It was talked over by the two of you.
Now, how much rehashing do you plan to do?
Unkind words were spoken by you both.
Even on paper, there was an exchange of notes.

The Ring Master introduces the big cats that roar.
The lion tamer's whip snaps, "Give them some more!"
Clowns in bright costumes and funny looking hats.
Have us all laughing with their juggling acts.
The flying trapeze is busy today.

Which color of the rainbow resembles you?
Bright as the sun, burning hot as a flame.
Like a plush rolling lawn, would they think of your name?
Brilliant as royalty, or an exalted birth.

Are you refreshing and calm as an ocean breeze?
A glass of cold water for someone in need.
Will someone look to you as a refuge or a relief?
Amid life's many challenges, or will you bring them grief?

A sweet little girl brightens my world, touches my heart each day.
Giggles and grins, dances and prances, apple of my eye she'll stay.
What's this? Did I miss? A moment of adventure and play?
No way, not today. A beautiful grandchild.

I spoke to the one who hurt me so bad.
Letting him know that he made me so sad.
I apologized for speaking in an awful tone.
For all her difficulty, I had not known.
I mended fences with the love of my life.

See the elephant walking back and forth.
Pacing in the dirt, saying "Cool me some more."
The tiger is feasting on a slab of meat.
Gnawing and chewing, getting stuck between his teeth.
A giraffe over there! Oh, so tall.

To the park we go to swing and glide.
Chasing each other as we fly down the slide.
The monkey bars are calling out our names.
Jumping here to there, we can't be tamed.
The teeter totter goes up and down.

You made a choice to do it your way.
Little did you know they would not stay.
You decided to be angry and not calm down.
So rather than listen, you chose not to be around.
Our actions and words do give us a voice.
