Given a choice
Between now and later
Often the now is
The one to which we cater
We should really wait
It’s the lesson we need
To delay gratification
And the ego we feed
But be honest, now – . . .

is seconded,
by a lover who . . .

I am my fathers’ daughter
I can be alone just fine.
I am my mothers’ daughter
Her tears and laughter are mine.
I am my grandma’s joy

my Irish Setter led me
to a quiet creek I would never have known

who tarry at the altar
Stark tarts
Starry-eyed starlets . . .

Avowed suitor of mine so dear
Hath overpowered my father’s sneer
Now allowed to court my hand
Each days’ flower is more grand
On Monday a bellflower he did send
A cupflower next . . .

on my cheeks and hair
coming down so very soft
can I stay outside; do I dare?
Fireplace beckoning with fiery heat
warming me through to my toes . . .

With young cap rice

About her album, a very large tome
This album of her heart I could be jealous of
Because it tells so much of her, and so much love
My own heart album I’ll gladly . . .

A heartfelt, endearing yearning

Pearls from your lips
Heartwarming hearsay

Edited my memories
Delivering me from anguish.
My mind would like to recreate
Emergency room visits and . . .
