Another year has come and gone Snow and hail and rain-full I fell and hurt my leg and back Oy! It was so painful Johanna bought a lovely car Before one bill was paid The dashboard lights were flashing And we needed lemon – aid Joey’s life was going well Hard work about to payoff [...]

At last, I’ve come to understand (A sentence worth the stating) In every aspect of our lives, We are a people, waiting We stand in line to travel And for a cup of Joe We plant a seed and count the weeks To see the seedling grow The game is on at five o’clock And [...]

This is a week for feasting This is a week for thanks Of all the weeks throughout the year The top is where this ranks   With great anticipation We know before it ends We’ll fill the hours with food and talk; With family and friends   We’ll share the ways we’re grateful For how [...]
