Ethel
Norwegian you know
Blue eyes always shining
Always dressed with a smile
She was smart as a whip
Strong willed and strong bones
She was one of five beauties
Some say she was a runt
It is true she was small but her spirit was tall
Duane was smitten the first time he saw her
He knew she was the one
A smart guy that one
She was honest and loyal to those she loved
Her word was her creed
Once you met Ethel a friend you would always be
Ethel was moxie she always dressed to a tee
What a great friend she was to me
True friends never really leave
They are forever tucked away in our hearts
Ethel was part of our story
She was a ray of sunshine a treasure to each one of us
Ethel’s memory will walk with us each day

Leaves of God Fall 2009
My seasons have flown by so fast
I can hardly remember the details of my budding
I bloomed far too early forced by natures call
The flower of my youth stolen
My spring lost
I could not hold my bloom
As fruit required all my time
That season of summer went so fast
Consumed by my fruit youth slipped away
Never to swing freely in the warm summers breeze
I held fast lest my fruit should fall
Hot summer days turn to chilly nights
My fruit now ripe hear falls call
They release to face their own unknown
I watch as they fall free
My branches lift from their weight
I stand-alone the crisp air begins to blow
Indian summer comes with new love
I bask in the crisp sun light
My beauty is seen and shared
With the bloom of crimson leaves
My golden years begin
Too soon, I see my skin begin to shrivel
Youths golden beauty slips into grey
My hold on the tree of life seems futile
The frost of winter comes so fast
I hold tight lest I fall
So many leaves are falling
I watch as they let go one by one
My winter is here my time has come
The cold ground awaits my fall
The snows of winter cover my memory
Yet the family tree still stands
Spring will come
New leaves will unfold
The seasons of life begins again
