dedicated to my son

dear son of mine
know that my
love is so big
that it surrounds
those dreams
you haven't even
thought of yet

she got dressed

she got up
and got dressed
she brushed her teeth
and had a quick
breakfast
she called for her
children to get in
the car

a quick trip to the school
dropped the kids
at the door
now on to work

she merged into traffic
it's raining buckets

what happened next
is still being
investigated

she never knew
that morning
was to be her
last....

precious moments
not realized
as the gifts
they are

somewhere beyond the square 

think outside the square

my box is
small
cramped
too confining

I search
within
and keep
bumping
into its sides

I break f r e e
and see
all there is

I am
amazed
at my
discoveries

I remain f r e e
I escaped

I refuse to go
back inside

I shed my
f e a r

I realize that what
I've found
is
my s e l f

because
there is more

much more
out there

beyond
the
square
I once called
my life!

thank you

thank you

Creator

for all

You do

precious gatherer 

mite I care if the honey bee is gone

little honey bee
what brings you here

your job goes
unnoticed

unless we are
farmers or
beekeepers

but all will notice
soon

if the mite that
attacks your
hive

and kills
you off
in hugh
numbers

isn't
c o n t r o l l e d.
