Forgive me for having the impudence to include a personal pages on this
site. These are just a few of the numerous poems I have written at various times while thinking about people who have enriched my life. |
This verse was written at Christmas some time ago for a young English lady. Donna, her guide dog Griff, and her chinchillas Banjo and Lawson are very much a part of our life. My family exchanges emails with her every day. She has a computer program named "Jaws" that is used to read my poetry to her but I now send her a recorded MP3 each time I write a new poem. We have grown to love her so much that we think of her as a genuine and much cherished member of our family. |
Donna's guide dog Griff
Far across the foaming waters From a land the other side Sweet Donna opened up our hearts And gently crept inside With her gift of sensitivity And an insight that's so rare She creates a world of sunshine Full of kindness, love and care We admire her wondrous talent for her gift sets her apart She can see this world more clearly For she views it with her heart And while we read her letters Though the miles are far and wide We can feel her presence with us She is sitting at our side Christmas time is even brighter Because to add to all the cheer We have Donna, Griff and Lawson And Banjo will be here They'll be here for Christmas morning And for Christmas dinner too They're a special part within our heart In everything we do They'll be standing here beside us Around our Christmas tree They'll be in our mind each moment To increase our Christmas glee Many miles may separate us And keep us far apart But we think of you as 'family' So you'll be here in our heart K.D.
