A Father’s Hope by Thomas Valles I hope when you come home, and the church bells start ringing,You’ll remember the years and the days you had here.That this house will engulf you, with lavender breezeswhen the Lilacs have bloomed and their essence appeases.I hope when you come home, and the church bells start ringing,that comfort surrounds you like a mother’s embrace.That this house was a home and a…
My Father and My Heart
I remember every moment, dadYou stopped to be with me.Imparting often what you knew,To guide what I would be.The memories are permanent,They’re engraved upon my heart.Never fading, never dullThey’re like ornaments of art.Ever hung upon my life,They’re with me every day.The memories I cherishCast the words I also say.From lessons taught of businessTo how to pitch a ball,These memories are preciousAnd I savor one and all.It reminds that the greatest giftA dad can give his son,Is time engraving memories;Time spent…

A Letter to Mom
A letter to a mom for Mothers Day Dear Mom, Thanks for the note. Your timing is impeccable. While driving to work this morning I wept over the state of our nation and our world.

I have written some poetry and I’ve done a few other things but is that all He…
A Mother’s Love
~ A Mother’s Love— a poem for Mother’s Day ~ A mother’s love is a cherished treasure, One with value no one can measure.Unlike others, hers is a love that will last,A sincere love–demonstrated and steadfast.Before she ever cradles her child in her welcoming arms,She’s already determined to shield that one from all alarms.No sacrifice too great, no night too dark, and no road too longTo ever keep her from the child to whom her heart does belong.For the rest…

On the Shoulders of Mothers
So much of our future rests on the shoulders of Mothers. The choices they make today will impact a life forever They have one of the most important jobs on the planet. They are shaping and building foundations that our future will stand on. Sometimes our society takes this position forgranted by trivializing and mocking it. The stereotypical woman adorned in curlers, slippers, bathrobe with a bowl of bonbons nearby while she watches her soaps…..is not the norm. More like the woman on…
