This page is dedicated to my two wonderful kids > Devin, age 6, and Sean, age 3.
Your presence in my life gives me the strength to face each day with a smile.

But I Say

life's not about the valiant stride
of love they say
not about the sun brightening
in our hands
or in rivers running yes
and they say
that we can grow
amid the unloved ugly little pieces
that set our grinding teeth
against the boiling need
and if we lose
an arm a leg
in lonely battles
then what was wholeness anyway
but I say
season into season
is how we'll grow
and toward a caring place
I know is there
where we can watch the golden overflow
being smiled on small brown faces
that look like us
