Capture Kindness
Being Kind today
And photo away
Be kind
And not blind
to others
Brothers sister, fathers, mothers
Show everyone kindness
Whether you want to or not
They would be glad, whether you thought
That you were making a difference (which you are)
Be the person that will go that far
To show others appreciation and love
Who will put themselves, behind, not above
Be the person who will spread kindness
Show the world you love, not your blindness

Birdhouses
Dedicated to: Kathleen Mangum
It hung under the eaves
Beautiful like all of the leaves
There were all sorts of shapes and colors
Like the one she made with me and my brother
One shaped like a sunflower, one plain and wooden
With one side that opened
To clean out the nest
Of the birds who had just left
I remember the fresh wood smell
And the neighbor's house as well
Even though she isn’t here
The birdhouses remind us that she is near
Grandma, thank you
For all that you do
You bring us joy and comfort too
We will never forget you
