to be a field guide to
the natural pleasures
of language –
a happiness we were
born to have.”

Poem:
.
the beautiful grandchild laughed
he saw a monkey that looked just like me
on top of that he believed I was daft
the stories he told as he sat on my knee
emotions arise as I view the legacy
how wonderful is the Great Creators design
the gratitude list excludes jealousy
faith allows all of the stars to align
an attitude of happy, joyous and free
God’s bountiful love is all that I see
