Eye of the Beholder

Eye of the Beholder
"There is beauty all around us ...just waiting to be seen"
"She's at it again"... the words of my children as they see me approaching with my lens cap off and my tripod tucked beneath my arm. "Mom.... no more pictures ... pleeeeaaase!" and I say to my children.... "One day you will be grown, I will be old and this world will have changed in a million different ways, and the only thing I will have to remember the seasons of your youth and the wonder of these times are my photos... so I will close one eye and try to keep focus and you will smile and say cheese!"

Yesterday’s Child


To yesterday’s child I say “take heed”,
You are not alone against the world.
You are motivator,
And instigator;
A force to recon
with, and for.
You are leader
And liberator,
Standing tall against
the cold of walled refrain.
You can hold onto
Your youthful smile
And still grow up strong,
As long as you remain
True to you.
Believe in others
But believe in yourself.
Know that the world
Does not make you into
Something that you are
Not already willing to be
So be brave
And be brilliant
And know that
Tomorrow’s leader
Begins with today’s dreamer;
Grown of yesterday’s child.
