Without a Boat (Amended and rewritten 10/15/2018}
WITHOUT A BOAT (amended/rewritten 10/15/2018) Jesus was a sailor who sailed without a boat He had no need upon that to stand, for he could easily float Above the briny chilling cold and darkest dark of deep Where many sailors struggled and in death there they fell to sleep He had no need to save…

AWAKENING
I woke this morning to a different world Everything had sudden changed overnight When the rains came, fell, and the grass uncurled Where I had walked during the heat of the day before And there was nothing for me to do There was nothing I could or would say The world changed when I turned…

Puppy in the River and Random thoughts on 8.15.2017
PUPPY IN THE RIVER I believe I was ten years old and out riding on my bike on a warm summer’s day. As was my custom, I stopped at the bridge on Madison Street in Maywood overlooking the muddy, trash filled, and sluggish Des Plaines River. It was one of my favorite spots for daydreaming,…
