Today is a victory
I've stayed awake
I've fed the cat
I didn't shake.
I took a walk
on the bicycle path
read a book and
took a warm bath
I want so much more!
Excitement and Zest!
I just stayed awake
because that was my best

INDIFFERENCE
Indifference
She never cared what others thought
She learned the classics she was taught.
Her taste was quite one of her own.
She didn't date, she stayed at home
and read, and wrote and talked to her cat.
She fell in love when she was older
With someone younger. She was bolder
and did not care what people said
She smiled and danced and tossed her head
and loved her soulmate with all her heart.
He died, you know,but she lived on.
A lone old woman with her love long gone.
She walks tall, her head held high.
She doesn't let others see her cry,
and she reads and writes and talks to her cat.

A Simple Man
To Bill
Easy in a pair of boots and Levis
working cattle or working wood or
wearing a suit into the office
he's a simple man of basic good.
His beard is streaked with gray and brown
and he sets his jaw that certain way
that says he has a personal code
of living life how he will say.
Blue eyes can read a person's face
or see the beauty of a Texas sky.
In them you'll see compassion
his heart shows in those eyes.
His own good sense of what is right
has integrity rated number one.
He's a selfless and a thoughtful man.
His time is for family, friends and fun.
I'm glad to know this man of honor.
I cannot think of any other
that gives more meaning to my life
than Bill, my marvelous younger brother.
