This is a poem that my Father wrote for my Mother . . . long ago (Now you see whereof I get my talent[?]):

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When me is with thee,
The time it does flee.
When me is alone,
The time it does groan.

To live is to wonder.
To wonder is to live.

Where I Am

I dip my toes,
In the serene pool of surrender.
Standing on the shore,
Waiting to make sure it's safe.
Watching shadows grow taller,
Feeling the darkness grow smaller.
The sun now at my back,
And the road rises to greet me.
The Way to go is forward,
Treading now with no feet.
