My Father and Me And more poems and prose
My audiobook of poetry “My Father and Me and more poems and prose” features a CD and book of poems about my relationship with my father who I admired for his ability to see the heart of people and nature. I also coupled with humorous and thought-provoking poems and simple things that sometimes resonate with wonder to the amazing world at large, and again highlighted by my lasting relationship with my father that changed my life and how I viewed my universal place in the world. And my wonderful mother with her never ending wisdom and giving spirit! Over the years my work has aired on Garrison Keillor's “Prairie Home Companion” and “The Writer’s Almanac”. My poetry has also been featured in the weekly “The West County News Journal”. I reside in Girard, PA where I write songs and play my guitar and take walks along the beautiful north coast of Pennsylvania.

My Father and Me
My Father and Me
Where do I start?
My dad made an art
of finding the heart
of what mattered.
I still can’t explain
how he reached
through the rain
and brought me to tears
with an answer.
When he knew
my dreams
had come apart
at the seams,
Somehow he knew
how to save it.
He took it in stride
And he stood
by my side,
and told me
I already made it.
Sometimes I can see
my father in me,
walking like I know
where I’m going.
Like I was a king
believing in dreams,
and bringing my soul
into being.

I Took An Uber All The Way To Vancouver
I took an Uber
all the way to Vancouver
Just to see mountains of snow.
When I asked the driver
he said he was surprised
how far his Ford Escort could go.
Now I had no idea
it would take so long
It was a heck of a trip.
And when I got there
And I saw my fare
I could not even
give him a tip.
So if you take an Uber
all the way to Vancouver
Just to see mountains of snow
Make sure you have credit
or you can forget it
Because they don’t
want to hear it you know!
If What Your Waiting For Is Christmas
If what you’re waiting for is Christmas
You don’t need me to tell you so.
If you’ve been looking for somebody
You might not have that far to go.
See how the candle dances
With all the shadows on the wall.
If what your waiting for is Christmas
It might be coming after all.
Sometimes I feel so tired
And sometimes I feel so blue.
I’m just going through the motions
Of almost anything I do.
But I guess I’m getting better
Even I’m a bit surprised
When I see my own reflection
In a dark-haired angel’s eyes.
Maybe all that really matters
Try and feel the mystery
Found in people left abandoned
Burning blooming poetry.
If for miracles you hunger
You might see a few come true.
If what your waiting for is Christmas
It might be waiting there for you.
