To My Love

I hold my life especially dear, because of a love ever so near.

As I think of us together and all of our fun, it is to her my heart will always run.

She touches my heart ever so coy, and with her love brings me great joy.

And while the future is not mine to see, it is true to our love I will always be.


With Love To All - Dick

Ode To A Man Of 76

As I looked in the mirror an old man looked back at me. I asked, "What are your plans," and he said, "Just wait and see, for I have every idea that could ever be."

"Am I too old, that could never be for what beats within me is a heart that is bold, and ideas that cry out to be told."

"Am I too old, that could never be for imagination and inspiration grip me."

"And when I pass, with a thankful heart, I will smile and say, this was a joy, now where else can I play."

With Love To All - Dick

Note: This little poem was influenced by the writings of Shel Silverstein (1930 - 1999)




When I Was Young

When I was young, words were words and I had to be right, and would argue with all my might, to show the world that I was bright.
