One Foot

One Foot

One foot in the future, one foot in the past

We think about the present, never knowing it won't last

We daydream about the past, and what the future will be

Changes come along, that we just couldn't see

We end up in places, we never thought we'd be

In a time we traveled, to fulfill our destiny

“How did this happen?” is what you say

With the Universe, it always finds a way

What a journey, that life brings us through

Never knowing, just where we're going to

You get on at the start, with hopes of what you'll find

Ending up somewhere else, it just blows your mind

Sometimes you kind of know, where you're going to

Yet, you never know, what you will go through

In time, it's all about the journey you make

And all the chances, that you're going to take

I was caught in a place, time held me there

Then it set me free, and I went everywhere

We think about the present, never knowing it won't last

With one foot in the future, and one foot in the past

Life is amazing when time is involved. Our lives take on a

completely different meaning than what we ever thought it

would be from the beginning. We see things differently. We

become totally different people. We can't see the future, and

when it gets here, it's not always what we expected. And yet,

there are many wonderful surprises along the way.

When The Easter Bunny Came

When The Easter Bunny Came

When the Easter Bunny came to our house

He was so very quiet, just like a mouse

He'd hide Easter Baskets all over the place

When we were kids, that was always the case

In the Pantry bin, one of us kids found one there

The others were still looking, they thought it unfair

Another was found in the oven, the stove wasn't heated

The other kid looked for his, he didn't feel defeated

In the Living room, right behind the rocking chair

That's where he found it, just sitting there

It was always fun, to find what was brought

The Easter Bunny made it fun, is what I thought

Years later, when Easter came around

From the front door, there came a knocking sound

There in the hallway, an Easter basket was found

Just the Easter basket, nobody else was around

My Sister, moments later, was coming in the back door

She smiled when seeing the Easter basket, what was that for

We suspected it was her, she always had a good heart

She wanted to make Easter, a very special part

She brought back Easter, to our family home

A good memory, that was worth writing about in this poem

Thank you Nancy, my sister, for all the kindness you have given. We

truly know what a wonderful heart you have. For you have shown it

time and time again.

Gather around, there's fun for you

You'll be happy, you did it too

Cards and Dice, a fast paced game

Having fun, is our aim

I'm the host, I'll guide you

Time will fly, and we'll be through

You may not remember everyone

When you see me, you'll think of fun

There's a smile, upon your face

Where you sit, is the perfect place

Don't worry if your memory lacks

I'll fill it in, all those cracks

The company is great, time really flies

I'll help you out, just watch my eyes

Just throw the dice, and play a card

You see now, it wasn't so hard

It's not too complicated, and you can see

I make it easy, when you play with me

It's almost supper time, so we'll stop here

I must await my ride, I don't live near

Being a Senior Companion is fun.

Lately I've been gathering a crowd of people

who are enjoying the game Polish Poker. It's

an easy game to play, and we have a lot of fun

with it. Time goes really fast, and before I know

it, it's time for me to watch for my ride.
