My stories

A BALANCE OF OPINION poem

Nature is where my mind reposes. And I delight in the beauty of this land, its whispers, the face of wind and autumn smells. Yes, living is legendary, with God as our guide.

AGRA, IN NORTHERN INDIA poem

India is a land of distinction, home of the hand of peace, yet wrapped in emotions deeply embedded in its soul.

CHRISTMAS TREE poem

Getting a tree, after snuffling through the snow, powder clinging, breath heavy and eyelids almost frozen shut; but the excitement, aaahh.

AT THE MINI-RANCH poem

Ranching is a lot of work. And enjoying the land my daughter has in Alberta, near Tofield is an experience to enjoy, and write about.

MOMENTS IN LIFE poem

As my age advances, I sense how precious this world is, along with family and friends. This poem is written to breathe special meaning into life lived.
