HEROISM
You have taught me well that
Heroism is not the prerogative
Of those who break away from routine
Take up dangerous work
Leave their tree lined, well paved thoroughfare
For rocky mountains, or steamy jungles,
There is heroism, too in carrying on
With less glory or non at all
And when all the odds are against you
You will find the jewel in adversity
Of which Shakespeare spoke
And the courage
Which in the end, finds
The good in everything that happens
And the hero in us all....

MAKING GOOD
It's a glorious morning in June
I watch the pink flush of dawn
And hear the birds
The whole city is still a sleep
And cling to fading dreams
What have they to get up for anyway
Only the usual rituals of the day
But for me none of that
My dream was only beginning
Except it was not a dream
It's real
The one bright fragment
In the dreary pattern of everyday life
Only a few hours to be with My Knight
To make him smile and even laugh
But I'm only making good the empty hours
When I can give him nothing
Other than my thoughts...
Witch!
