Julie Ann
October comes again, our rendezvous A path of golden aspens lines my way To that place within my heart where you still dwell Your infancy now nineteen years away. You life within me, miracle complete The "knowing" it was all that was to be Not understanding yet accepting, unafraid To touch your life, my love, as you touched me.

Prayer of Thanks
For The frolic of my baby lambs Innocent and sweet, Healthy, bright-eyed newborn calves Unsteady on their feet. You've flung the silent heavens Full of stars above my head.
