About this ebook
The poetry is about life, love and family. Growing up in the sixties. My first love, and is he my last forever love? Did war separate us forever? Is he my forevermore? It's poetry about nature, in the woods. Flowers and springtime.

Blood Red
Pumping
through my veins and into my soul
inching it away
My soul awaits
my spirit is ageless
my fingers reach out to alert my soul
but it’s only a whisper in the wind and nothing more
My toes touch the floor,
the earth below rises up to meet my soul
my spirit
but it’s unwelcome
The blood red crackles outside my heart and into the abyss
feathering and fondling what grows inside
because my lady love will
soon join me.
My life has past
I am in the Eternity.
Grandpa
The six-foot, blue eyed Swede
stood next to his locomotive,
holding a small hand
The brown-eyed, blonde little girl
with a pony tail,
wrapped her arms around her grandpa’s neck
He looked at his pocket watch,
then nodded to the conductor
and switchman
He handed the little girl to his son,
before kissing the top of
granddaughter’s head
Goodbye.
Friends Forever
Friends forever
Friends for life
Friends to skip rope with
Friends to hang out
and watch the boys go by with
Friends to believe in
Friends to find hope with
Friends to grow up
and become adults with
Friends to grow old with and
Friends to die with.
Drinking Friends
Onward and upward
We go
Over the land
And out the
