A PRAYER OF THANKS-oil

A prayer of thanks
Her embrace
A distant look upon his face
What stories will he one day tell
Her sweet little boy
Just back from hell
What visions have those clear eyes seen
Magnitudes of living in-between
Left a boy
Returned a man
His innocence passed in a foreign land
Her embrace
His troubled heart
A prayer of thanks
A place to start-

 Inspiration for this painting
HOT CHOCOLATE MORNINGS
Hot chocolate mornings make me smile
for you will be three years old for such a short while
Wrapped in a blanket
and
grandpa's old clothes
With grandma's big socks
and a chocolate nose
Out on the deck
Just sitting and rocking
Heard in the forest
A woodpecker knocking
Just sitting discussing world problems
hyenas and Wiggles
Girlie girl  talk
with lots of giggles
I yawn then I sigh
As the sun starts to rise
Hot chocolate mornings
Happy tears to my eyes

I wrote this on one of Marissa' upstate visits -we would go on the deck and pretend we saw The Wiggles (A children entertainment group)hiding in the trees

THIS LAND

This land
of
ancient ruins
emerald seas
lemon groves and olive trees
modern times and history
graciously blended in harmony
This land
Where men of a most determined will
cultivate each cliff and hill
Laboring with sweat and toil
to seed every plot of soil
creating life where once lay graves
of gladiators, kings and slaves,
This land 
Where Vesuvius reigns
challenging mythical gods of age old claims
An archaeological prize this magnificent place
where the old and the new coexist with grace
Grotto's, catacombs,
forums and fountains,
rolling hills,
Moorish villages
built into mountains
Masters of art
Masters of stone.
Michelangelo's "David"
Brunelleschi's dome.
Medieval castles on a present day street,
this ancient land where centuries meet
Venice, unique
Sorrento's Rome, Sicily,
meridian blue waters
on the Isle of Capri.
Florence, Almafi,
Ischas beauty
This land
of my ancestors
ITALY
