A Bag Full of CourageAlways carry a bag full of courage

A Word of comfort Just before the break of day, I heard a child cry.
Always Have HopeSome hopes of mine through lifr
ConvocationAfter years of study, hard work
Fame and Failure.If I climb a mountain to make it mine to claim
His Dream.for years and years he had a dream
Hold the Torch HighThe torch you have with it's flame burning bright
Little Things Mean a LotYou feel so ggod when you can put a smile
Never Too Late To ChangeThere's an old saying
Pollyanna PillsSometimes we need to pop a positive Pollyanna pill
Teaching Two LessonsSitting by the river watching it flow gently by
The MountainWe looked up at the mountain
The Start of a New DayWhen you wake to a brand new day
To Be A Precious StoneWhen an oyster gets a bit of grit inside it's shell
Unaccomplished GoalsWhat are the things that may get in the way

AGEING
Gnarled HandsHe looked down at his hands all gnarled
Half My LifeI must have been five when I started
Make UpWhen you hide a few wrinkles that cover the face
Walking HomeCome along the steps of my childhood

SICKNESS
BereavedI closed all the shutters tight
Contemplation on being IllYou get out of bed and sit by the fire
DespondencyWhen you are feeling down

SUFFERING AND PAIN
A Painting on the WallIn our art gallery a painting on the wall
A PurposeGrief and pain have a purpose
A Marker by the RoadOn travelling along a quite road
All She HadAll she had was a pencil in her hand
Betty
Don't Turn Your HeadSome of you turn your head away
Homeless and ColdWhipping winter winds, blinding snow
Aching HeartSometimes our burdens seem heavy
An Old Fashioned ReaperOut in the fields with a hoe or a rake
Feelin' YuckiI realy did'nt sleep well
Free From Despair
Free From PainWhen through this life we tread
Ill At EaseHave you ever felt restless
InfirmitiesListen! Is that the sound of laughter?

TALENTS
The DancersSome times you see a couple just glide across the floor
Gaining Knowledge
Measuring UpDo we expect too much from ourselves
My Writer WithinSometimes she lies resting on some feather bed
Never StopWe should never stop learning
Poetry ReadingSometimes the words flow like pure water
TalentsDay by day times passes
The Art of Positive ThinkingHowever bad the day, try and think of a positive thought
bUse of TalentsHow much more would Mozart have written

TRIALS
A Thought for OthersSome people live wrapped up in a cocoon
A CureWhen life seems to get you down
AdversityWhen the trials of life
Almost Made It. The day was hot, the path was long
Comforting ArmsWhen things in life seem to go wrong
Different StoryA Picture of a maiden standing by a stream
Fear (written before the events of the day)Is fear of any value
Fear of TimeWhen you get a little older
Horse and PloughEarly on spring mornings
I Told You SoIf the words "I told you so"
I'll Do ItIt's hard to forge ahead when things you have to do
In Her Hour of NeedYes it is finished, what would you do?
It could Be WorseWhen the day seems lonley and long
Let GoDo we hang on to the things that are bad
Life Has Its Ups and DownsShow me a fellow who has not known trouble and strife
Lifes ThornsSometimes we have a few trials along lifes busy way
On Seeing a Struggling Birch TreeThe silver birchleaned far over the rivers bed
Refiners FireGold and silver are dull, look nothing at all
Sonnet: Endure to the End
The Trials of WinterWe scrape car windows and shovel the snow
Times are Getting HardThe times are getting hard folks,
Trials and TribulationsTrials and tribulations are stepping stones to heaven

WRITING
Deep Within My HeartVerse flows like a spring from deep within my heart
WordsWords are such wonderful things

Canada Day Thoughts Break out the steaks, bring out the drinks
Dear Child
Heart of a ChildBeneath this aging frame lies the heart of a child
I Love to SingI wish I had the voice of an angel
In ControlDo we fret feverishly over little things each day
InspirationAs the last glorious rays of sun kiss the land
Is Life FairSome of us live this life with the wind on our back
Is That someone KnockingIs that someone knocking on my old door?
Knowledge and WisdomFrom lofty towersof universities very old
Like A Kite
Loose ChangeA couple of times a week
MisunderstoodO Lord, give an understanding heart
Peace WithinWhatever turmoil may come to your life
Please Call me PeterI hope you will love me when I come into our home
QualitiesCome for a while to my side and listen
Ripples on the LakeAs I stood at the beginning of a new year
It does not take much effort
Safety Of The HarbourHuddles in the harbour, like a flock of frightened sheep
Sonnet: Silver LiningTo have a silver lining there has to be dark black clouds
The Healing Power of MusicFrom days gone by, right up to now
The Path. One day when I still quiet young
The Sinking of the KurskMany heart of the world were saddened.
The Wonder of a ChildThe child sat very still watching the butterfly
The Spring. The spring shot forth from the base of the rock
Thoughts from a PictureThe painting was of a ship being wrecked
Touched by an Angel
We Never Know. We never know from day to day
What Will Be Said of me?What do I ask that would be said of me?
Which Way. In the far off distance stood the mountain
Winter Storm WarningThe sky looked dull
Work of Art. Deep in the corner of every heart
