Must I Move On?
On the occasion of Matthew Morgan’s 2nd death anniversary, I dedicate the poem below: I quietly grieve In silence, In darkness I found myself in tears.

The Last Rose of Summer
Fall is definitely in the air but as long as the weather stays mild, the roses will keep on blooming. I cleaned up the garden this weekend, pulling out all the bedraggled annuals and planted the rest of my spring bulbs. I saw some roses are still blooming but they are smaller than the spring…

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, America swore “Never Again!” WWI shattered empires, monarchies, kingdoms and, more importantly, countless innocent men, women and children. Its…
