Paled
And poor
Dreams fading
Into the night
He clings to the hope
That his fingers will find
A new sound upon the strings
That will refresh his weary soul
To arise from the blue funk of woe
And dance to the music of his heart

Welcome!
My name is Mat
I meet and greet you daily
I put myself out there for you
Just smile
Acknowlege that I am sincere
My heart’s very fragile
Not a Door Mat
I’m real

A Greeter is a person who greets people entering a store, church service, or other public place. When I wrote this poem I was thinking of Dennis who is a greeter at our local Walmart store. He is always friendly and outgoing no matter the day or time. He always greets with a smile, handshake, fist bump and good word. So many people appreciate his sincere friendly attitude. The world can surely use more people like this!

I am at crossroads
Today I have to make a choice
Which road shall I take
One marked Fear or Faith
Mind reels toward Fear
Heart wants to step out on Faith
Truth tells me to trust
And boldly take the step
To walk on Faith’s road today
Choka
In the course of life
Checking my moral compass
Choosing the high road

There once was a brown squirrel
Who upon a bird feeder did swirl
He tried to get a treat
But trouble he did meet
When he got dizzy from the twirl
Limerick
Written in honor of National Limerick Day-May 12
Day becomes night so soon
No sooner than the sun rises
Then there comes the moon
Day becomes night so soon
Quickly morning turns to afternoon
Time never apologizes
Day becomes night so soon
No sooner than the sun rises

No sock left behind
Remember those lost socks
That served you well
Whether white, red, grey, black
Honor them on this day in May
