How lucky I am to be married to my wife
There was a cool breeze that day one May on the Thirsty Moose patio. Traffic whizzed by every now and then. My wife and kids had gone to the bathroom. I sat at the table with my mother-in-law.
She reminded me how lucky I am to be married to her daughter.
Yes, I am very fortunate. Thank you for raising such a wonderful person.

IT IS POSSIBLE
It is possible to live a good life.
I know you may not think so right now. I know it's hard to even get out of bed sometimes, let alone hold down a job or raise a family, to even take care of yourself. You might even find it hard to look someone in the eye, . . .
About fathers, heroes, love and patience
Heroes don't need to fix things. They support their loved ones in their growth and healing

MAKE (INSERT YOUR CAUSE HERE) GREAT AGAIN
Sometimes i don't really see
the point of life of strife
of berating of complaining
of everything
everyone is so outraged
so mean so hateful
so easy to jump on another
point a finger
say things to others
with little regard
in that regard
i find it . . .

What makes a house a home?
A poem
THIS OLD HOUSE
This old house you lay in your crib
This old house you wore your first bib
This old house you read your first book
This old house you gave me this look
This old house I held you in my arms
This old house I kept you from harm
This old house your bike seat I let go
This old house you rode to and fro
This old house . . .
