    I’ve written poems about my wife, and about my dogs, but I don’t think I’ve ever written one about my daughter. This one is for her. A Father’s Wish I wish you joy to temper pain, Some sun your clouds to chase. I wish you love to lift you up, To gently touch your face.…

    I love to sing. I think, and most people would agree, I’m not very good at it. In fact, very not good might be more accurate. I am very fortunate indeed then that the one person who most often hears it actually enjoys it! Against all probability, Lynn likes when I sing. What are the…
