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
