I want to extend a warm welcome to this poem home.
Enjoy your visit and I hope this will be a source of inspiration and encouragement.
Some of my roles include that of mother, grandmother and kindergarten educator (ret.).
Having composed songs for young children throughout my 27 years in the classroom,
I moved more into poetry following that period.
Please feel welcome to share these offerings with others as well.

Heart Homes


You visit in the home of my heart
and I in your's.

Friends sharing cups of liquid love,
plates of quiet warmth
and napkins of true knowing.

Remembrance softens and glistens
with present vibrancy,
as past and nows breathe future pathways,
woven through our friendships
with golden threads and light-strewn crystals
shining through the dark.
