Just because you are traveling to a place you live only means you are on the way home. The biggest part of you has stayed behind, only your body has left. You are split and torn since you are in two places at once. The only way to heal is to get both your mind and your body in the same place. Until that happens you're not home, you just visit from time to time but never stay. You always end up where ever your mind is.

Green Egg Rolls for My Ham
I have a feeling I’m going to be in trouble when Eric starts school. I offer, for your consideration, the following exchange that took place last night.
I was attempting to get Eric to try something new at the dinner table: an egg roll. His response was, “I don't like egg rolls.”
Thinking a little Dr. Seuss might persuade him, I quoted from Green Eggs and Ham :
“You do not like them, so you say. Try them, try them, and you may! Try them and you may, I…

Celebrating Sound, A Poem
In the silent sun of Friday afternoon in Albuquerque,
A doctor’s paper shoe -boots shuffled into my room.
He placed my fingers around the tiniest creature.
Noisy in this quiet was Jennifer Dawn.
In the miniature baby-box, surrounded by monster machines,
she moved like a sixties rock-and-roll dancer.
Miniature mittens halted her hands from removing tubes.
She longed to make her extraordinary noise in the… Continue

Before You Go
What right do I have
to ask for one more kiss
You are tired and in need of much rest
Please one more hug before you go
Let me hear you call my name
Whisper you love me
as no one else can
Please just one more kiss before you go
If you choose to yell I won't hide
Let me see that twinkle in your eyes
Please smile....
Just one more kiss Daddy
before you die

*** The Snowman ***
I've lived my life
Now I must go
With me I shall take the snow
Clean and fresh
So white and pure
I gave you all my love
Of that you can be sure
Perhaps you felt
You needed more hugs
But my love was shone
By the warmth of your gloves
And me being home
Conversation wasn't much needed
For straight to the point I'd lead us
Perhaps if you… Continue

"The Children's Prayer" -- Diabetes Style
As I lay me down this night
Into Moebus' realms of flight
I pray no hypo, mild or deep
Disturb or slay me in my sleep.

Culture in Poetry
Dylan Thomas
(I love this poem...it is so relevant to diabetes)
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age (or young) should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night
Good men, the last wave by, crying how… Continue
