These foolish things
Remind me of you
Where are you
Now that you’ve gone
 
I knew you went away
That you had to leave us
The dreaded disease
Was just too much
These things do catch up
 
My broken heart lies here
Waiting, wishing and whimpering
My longing remains as I look about
I see your things
My heart goes tug, tug and tug
 
Your picture; your rings
All these things near
And you so far
Away from me
Forever for now
 
I can only hope
That this is all a dream
And believe you’ll be back
I have learned
That when I wake up
Reality will speak
You are gone for good
 
These crazy thoughts
How foolish
I’m foolish
And alone

Memory from a trip I took

Today after the sunshine
We had some rain
And the sky turned
To a lovely medium gray
 
Before too long
The sun broke through
Giving us a complete rainbow
 
It began
 
As I looked out my motel window
I saw it above the parking lot of a McDonald's
It curved upward very high and then down
Bending toward the ground
 
It was
 
About a football field away
Where it slanted
Into the gasoline pumps
At a Standard Gas Station
 
Unfortunately
 
There were no pots of gold
The vision itself
Was the treasure
 
But
 
It vanished
Within five minutes
Just left a wonderful memory
