Poem for Quenby
New Years Eve 2014
Big girl panties
Carry you to greatness:
The family sees
its independent woman
and wants to be just like you when they grow up.
Big girl capes
Carry you farther than all the ancestors-
Even to the shores of Iceland!
it’s volcanos, starkness, and wool dainties
Big girl feet
Step in places ne’er discovered,
Leave illuminated prints
For cats to follow
For wild fairies to adorn
With moss and loam and musk.

Poem for Owen
New Years Eve 2014
I love the way
you loved Camden
these many years
And she has trusted you
With all the family pets
who come and go.
I love the way
you build such lovely things
to shelter and give rest:
arms of wood
Cradling with their love.
I love the way
you maintain simple
daily needs:
clean water, fresh bark,
warming fire, cozy niche
to ponder faith, patience and
marvelous belonging.

Fibonacci created the math
Jeanne created the colors
My ball is changing
through time-energy converts
human to divine!
Other cities have developed their own ball-dropping traditions.

II Corinthians 5:12-21
Christ’s love controls me.
Christ’s resurrection awaits me.
Christ’s spirit moves me.
Christ reconciles me.
Offers Himself.
I am His Ambassador.
I cannot abide sexual lust aside redemption.
Christ cleanses me.
Renews me.
I have a new identity.

Quenby, Mike, Annika
December 2009
To greet with joy the glorious morn,
Which angels welcomed long ago,
When our redeeming Lord was born,
To bring the light of Heaven below;
The Powers of Darkness to dispel,
And rescue Earth from Death and Hell.
Sir Isaac Newton said, “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
