   Digging Deep

Youth will find its way
Lessons of life digging deep
Sometimes in one day

In Eye Blinks

Contemplating the contest…

   In Eye Blinks

Weapons high they charge
In eye blinks samurai strike
Living fast and large

Anticipating watching my friend’s son battling at kendo…

Mists Of Forever

Contemplating love and loss…

   Mists Of Forever

My love’s been forlorn
Lost in mists of forever
Of hope I’ve been shorn

Then again reborn
When thought it would be never
I have been reborn

Can anyone relate? Please share…

   To Feel Relaxed

I have stood in fright
And appeared to feel relaxed
Watching my son fight

What else can I say…

Feel the Strength

Contemplating love and faith…

   Feel the Strength

When just a baby
I could feel the strength he had
Never been maybe

Some worries along the way, and some faltering steps, but always up and onward…

The Old Man

Contemplating the circle of life…

   The Old Man

He’s young strong and fit
Primed to surpass the old man
In just a wee bit

Life goes on…

Stepping Up

Contemplating the struggles of life…

   Stepping Up

Only just begun
Babes toddle. Men Struggle on
Son turned twenty one

Come into his own
Stepping up to toe the line
I see that he’s grown

   -gl-

Life is good…
