HEAVEN IN A CHILD
I caught a glimpse of Heaven today
When a little child of three
Danced around my flower beds
With a look of blissful glee
I heard a bit of Heaven today
When she giggled while at play
Sounds I’ll carry in my heart
Forever and a day
I felt a bit of Heaven today
When she wooed [...]

KILLER
Killer’s what we call our hound,
But he betrays his name …
While serving as a guard dog
He greets them all, the same.
All comers to our big front door
Are greeted with a kiss,
Then he bellies-up for a rub
With a grand look of bliss.
He’s [...]

A MOMENT LONG AWAITED
He came to me last night
to tell me he was sorry.
As he held me close
he kissed away my tears,
and I could feel his heart
beating in harmony with my own.
He whispered assurances
of undying love,
and I whispered mine.
Then from out of nowhere
came the soft strains
of our favorite song,
and we danced as one,
lost in deep [...]

OLD HOUN’
Old Houn’ is what we call our dog.
He answers to that name.
He’s supposed to be a watchdog,
But treats everyone the same.
Whoever comes to our front door
Is greeted with a kiss,
Then he’ll belly-up for a rub,
With a grand look of bliss.
He mothers orphaned kittens,
For which he baby-sits,
Though his look of total boredom
Belies his love [...]

GOSSIP
“You know I never gossip, Dear,
But I’m compelled to tell you this,
I saw your husband steal a kiss!”
. . .
“Well, let me make this very clear,
I hate to disappoint you, Miss,
But that sweet lady was his Sis!”
