Morning Sunlight

Spring sunlight streamed through the window to greet me.

"Hello young girl," the light spoke to me.
"Why good morning, fair light!  How do you be?"
The light seemed to think and pause but then said,
"I'm glad to be back in winter's stead."

When a Vegan Eats Cheese

My sister made my lunch today,
at school I sat and ate away
at the macaroni and sauce on my plate-
but wait!  What's this!  Cheese have I here!
I will still eat it lest hunger be clear.
As I moved from class to class, 
my bowels churned - and, alas,
an awkwardness settled about me.  
In earnest and humble plea, 
those around me left my company
to flee to whence their noses could live free.  
"Burning rubber" said one of the smell.  
"Nay," said another, "but I can tell 
an egg has rotten on this very spot." 
But the first nor the second, it was not.  
You see, cheese in the stomach of a vegan does not end well at all.  
For today many died, yes, many did fall.  
No more will they be,
because I, a vegan, was served cheese.

Leah

Leah is a song I wrote after my neice was stillborn on my twelfth birthday.  I recorded it on my brother's album and I would like to share this link with you.

Feel the trickle of the rain,
hear the wind go by.
Know the feeling of the pain,
watch your love fly away again!

And all of our hopes
and all of our dreams,
carried away,
down the stream
And all of our thoughts
and all of our cares,
taken afar,
in the sun's glare!

Never a smile from your face,
never a laugh.
Pointing to all our fates,
is the design from the past!

And all of our hopes
and all of our dreams,
carried away,
down the stream
And all of our thoughts
and all of our cares,
taken afar,
in the sun's glare!
