If love could be counted Like a measure of time Perhaps we could learn it Like a verse of a rhyme But love is like sunshine It comes and then goes Blossoming forth As a dew laden rose For love and sunshine In life are combined Both are wonderful jewels Whose worth is never defined.Continue reading “Love and sunshine”

The Man in the Moon Came Down Too Soon
by J. R. R. Tolkien There is an inn, a merry old innbeneath an old grey hill,And there they brew a beer so brownThat the Man in the Moon himself came downone night to drink his fill.

Spirit of the Wolf
Spirit of the wolf You who wanders the wild lands You who stalks in silent shadows You who runs and leaps Between the moss-covered trees Lend me your primal strength and the wisdom of your glowing eyes Teach me to stand in defense of those I love Show me the hidden paths and the moonlitContinue reading “Spirit of the Wolf”

Courage in fact bag packed,Continue reading “Around and Round About“
