1. Little Bird
Bird
Little Bird
Separated from flock
Just one minute apart
lost
Bird
Little Bird
Finds her flock
But nobody remembers her
Anymore
………..
2. My Son
My
little son
in tiny hands
hold my whole world
tenderly
My
little son
Can’t speak yet
makes the best speech
ever
……
3. My Mother
Forever
dead, gone
holds a corner
in my heart, my
mother
Never
her memories
will go away
or I will forget
her

4. Forgive and Forget me
Forgive
my faults,
my imperfections for
I am almost a
sinner
Forget
me, move-on
built a new
life away from me
please

5. Decision
Midway
He stands
calculating, looking back
wondering if he should
turn-back
Midway
he stands
calculating, looking ahead
wondering if he should
go-on

6. Smile and Tear
Smile
Stretched lips
a warm welcome
Happiness at her core
Spreads
Tears
Watery eyes
a heavy heart
Scarred soul that shatters
Everything
…….
7. An act of terror
Gunshots
loud scary
killing civilians blindly
an act of terror
chaos
Aftermath
bruised, injured
dead, murdered coldly
people of all religions
silence

8. Husband and Wife
Husband
And wife
mostly very kind
Had a messy fight
today
Husband
And wife
loved each other
went to point of
” no-return”

9. I said nothing
Yesterday
Timid scared
I said nothing
Because I was too
Small
Today
I saw
and said nothing
Because I was too
Uninvolved
………..
10. Doubt and Trust
Doubt
slow poison
that destroys everything
love and relationships included
Beware
Trust
life’s blood
Inspires to improve
essential ingredient of all
love
…………
11. Shoe
Shoe
I see
on the highway
makes me think “Why?”
“How?”
Accident
maybe, certainly
a foot lost
in best case scenario
life-altered
