… I knew a man

I knew a man who made a difference.
He wasn’t famous. He wasn’t rich.
He didn’t run into a burning building .
He paid attention.
When a child spoke, he listened
and that made all the difference in her life.

Contradictions

Oh world of contradictions
what a perfect match we are
and what irony that I don’t know it

Grandpa

Grandpa told me stories, whenever I was blue

about his great adventures (and some of them were true).
