Isn’t it funny
how we begin our sad tales
with the phrase,
“Isn’t it funny how…”
when it isn’t funny at all…

“My Mom and her Great Granddaughter on the day of her birth”
why does my heart bleed
why does my heart bleed?
because I do not know the answer…
why does my heart bleed?
because my child is lost…
why does my heart bleed?
because I do not know how to help
why does my heart bleed?
because I am afraid
why does my heart bleed?
because I cannot bear losing another person

“Snow Moon Night”
we are all interconnected
we are all part of one another
we are called to lift each other up
we are called to BE there for the other
we are ONE
Serendipity Sunday!

Dedicated to my grandchildren: Nadia, Ayden, Colson, Cooper
a child’s heart
daffodil freshness
first opening itself to the Spring air
Soaking in the love and warmth
of the SUN …
with no pretense
no preconceptions…
delicate promise
