In Gratitude For Your Life
Morning Gratitudes
It Is Enough
Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadians – Feeling grateful today for so much.

MORNING GRATITUDES
After my morning gratitudes
look out the window
to great flakes
softling to the ground
Always room for one more
FOR VICTOR
FOR VICTOR
The only trick an old dog can learn
is how to be an old dog
The minimum of turns one has to take
before lying down for that nap
That a bark is as good as a chase
for keeping squirrels off the deck
And that after all these years
of standing up for your standing friends
you’ve likely earned their kneeling by you now

VALENTINE 09
Every Saint Valentine’s day
one should write a poem
to their beloved
Not just to remind them
how lovely they are
and your bursting desire
to show it
But also how lucky you are
to know that you know it
