Leukemia struck
Infusion chair for hours
But I made it through.
| |
Try to prolong life
Question is how do we live?
Do not waste more time.
|
I am growing old
How does one prolong a life?
Live oh so fully.

California's
State grass, the newest symbol
Took four years to pass.
|
Pallid Bat just found
Pollinates efficiently
Head into flower.
| |
Rhinos cruelly poached
Radio chip into horn
Source can now be traced.
|
I came through the Picts
The tattooed painted Britons
Waged war with small shields.
| |
Childhood dream to fly
Much later took my lessons
Mastered the airfoil.
|
Loving Mom and Dad
Allowed me to find my way
Look where I am now!
| |
I learned to carve stones
Many petroglyphs galore
Now loved by others.
|
Wanted a fish farm
Learned to construct many ponds
Shared all the protein.
| |
Planted bulbs to sell
Much delight from the bouquets
Joy passed to others.
|
Nora was my mate
Helped me in body and soul
No better could be.
| |
Always fished with nets
Seines were dragged / cast nets were thrown
A delayed result.
|
Learned my Cal flora
Passed the official State grass
Good legislation.
| |
Scottish Highland steer
Mirrored my Scottish background
Proud to wear the kilt.
|
I have lived through three
Major wars. But followed peace
Let all others live.
| |
Grandsons shared my farm
Each grew up knowing my cows
Gentle giant beasts.
|
Teaching gives me joy
Eyes open with new knowledge
Trying to keep up!
| |
I learned to carve stones
First lesson just ten minutes
Scant time, much to learn.
