LAST LEAF
Do you ever feel like that last leaf
Afraid to let go the familiar
Worried you will free fall
With no net or parachute . . .
Something, anything to catch you
To put your fears to rest
And help you see this change
In spite of any bumps and pain
Is setting your life on course
To be right where you belong

TWILIGHT
As twilight slips across the land
An ease comes over me
Day is done, what will be has been
I can only move forward from here
Dump regrets, set aside complaints
Focus on the grace that’s been given me
Tomorrow will soon dawn
Bringing new challenges, new vistas
I will not fret about them now
So come twilight . . .
With your fading light, your cricket symphony
Lull me into the peace of slumber
