Like A Cat

A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu
May I craft my life As a Heavenly Island, In the archipelago Of kindly souls. Where gentle waves Of compassion lap At the sandy shores
of love.
Sometimes Big waves thunder An earthquake Under my feet. But breezes whisper wisdom And the air Is fresh and sweet

In this tranquil haven Love will be the sun, Warming hearts and giving strength for the work that must be done. Cloudia Charters

Don't explain
your philosophy.
Embody it.

15 Cents was before my time
but the orange juice,
and the breakfast
were a real treat
after a night of work in
my father's janitorial business.

  8. Thanks dear friends! I so love reading your comments and it is gratifying indeed that you are enjoying the poetry. I'm still visiting my husband everyday and care as he declines physically and with his dementia. It's overwhelming and I so appreciate the world we have created where we gather like this and share. Just wanted to let you know why I'm not able to visit as often as I'd like, but I appreciate you more than you know. Aloha to each and every one of you
