A Good Meal
I like to drink green tea and black tea,
Medical opinion thinks it is good for me,
Now an egg a day is again good for you,
Believe it or not a cup of coffee is too,
The rules of the game change all the time,
Even eating a steak is no longer a crime,
A tall glass of red wine is good for the heart,
Help yourself to a good meal “A La Carte”,
Just make sure that at the end of the day,
What goes in, eventually out finds its way,

Family Albums
I like to flip through the old family albums,
(Of which I do have plenty of volumes),
Pictures of my children at play and rest,
Many a time falling asleep right on my chest,
Walking the walk riding up on my shoulder,
In the cold of winter or the heat of summer,
Many pictures were taken over the years,
So that later we can look at and regress,
I see myself as I really was a naïve youngster,
Idealistic, looking to what lays ahead, a believer,
Yet now many decades later my kids are adults,
With families, responsibilities their own albums,
If I were to put them on my shoulder today,
Put me six feet under and begin to pray,
