Do Not Disturb

Suzi's sleeping now. Do not disturb her please

or you may trigger a response from those two boney knees.

She's rather like a spiny oyster or starfish if you get too close.

She's snoring ever so lightly and she's as warm as toast

but don't attempt to snuggle or borrow a little heat.

Her response will be robotic and may land you in the street.

She's on a heavenly vacation if her face is any indication.

for her wrinkles disappear at night. 

She seems to glow with soft angelic light.

So, I try to keep my certain distance

and be content within the lower realms

besides, I can't afford the bruising which disturbing her entails.

Married To An Angel

I've been married to an angel for more than forty years

and I've learned some things about them

despite my ignorance and fears.

They're always on duty night and day.

Their voices have a softness

which could bend a bar of iron

their skin is softer than a babe's.

They can speak to anyone without the slightest fear.

Their gentle touch can heal.

They are eternal optimists and carry their own light.

They have the willpower of lions

and are always right,

a trait that makes them very difficult to live with

for those of us with only ordinary sight.

SUZI

Susan is no ordinary Susan, nor is she a sue.

Suzi is a special sunny sort of name that only really fits a few.

If you're the kid of person that is filled with inner light,

the kind that never forgets a thing,

because you know what's right,

maybe you're a Suzi too!

If you can hike a mountain trail for days

and never loose your smile

or change a hundred thousand diapers

or watch your child's face being stitched

or lead a thousand tourss

or nurse a dozen pets.

Then you too are a Suzi, I would bet!

Angels At Work

You can sometimes see angels 

at work upon the earth.

They are sweet and filled with reason,

their voices soft yet strong.

They are fearless in the face of danger

and will never go along

with the decision of a group

who are doing something wrong.

If only we mortals had the courage 

to listen to their songs.

Play Tryout?

It wasn't what she said that day

but the sound of her souls voice

that went through my heart and head.

I couldn't help but fall in love

no matter what she said!

Something carried in that sound

awoke in me a recognition, 

a frequency of life

and right then and there

I knew she had to be my wife.

You've got the part, I said.

She thought I meant the play, 

but what I really meant, 

I'm still explaining to this day!
