A SINGLE SEED
A single seed,
Once a member of such
a large group
Now alone, sitting in the
cold dark soil.
Alone
Time passes so slowly
As the soil warms
Tiny roots begin to slowly explore
And send nutrients back to the seed
Still alone
A green tendril pushes
upward through the dirt
Seeking the sun it's never seen
With one final push,
It emerges into the light
And two tiny leaves unfold
to drink the life giving rays.
After so large an effort,
the plant pauses,
Roots delving deeper
becoming thicker and stronger
And the green stalk grows tall
to wave gently in the breeze.
A flower forms, full of seeds
Which fall to the ground
And become buried
To lay in the soil
Alone.

A GOOD MORNING
Dawns pale light
Illuminates the peaceful expression of her face
The warmth of her body curled into mine
With the soft brush of lips upon her cheek
Eyes blink sleepily at me
and a smile answers
My whisper of "Good morning, darling"
As she stretches, and I hug her close
Her body feels so good in my arms
My hands stroke the silky smoothness of her back
and her natural beauty makes my breath catch in my throat.
Her "I love you" puts a smile on my face
As I wake up in Heaven again.
She wants to run comb her hair
and put on make up for me
Never realizing that her inner beauty
shines so brightly in my eyes
the all she has to do to get pretty
Is look at me.

A SIMPLE THANK YOU
Blue eyes filling with tears, as a trembling voice whispers thank you
for something as simple as a bath and a meal
but a woman who has shown so much love
confesses this is a first time to receive it
and my heart fills with anger, brown eyes filling with hot tears,
that a queen has been so neglected.
A silent vow, to give her a life time of smiles
and make sure each and every day
she realizes how special she is to me.
