EXTRAMUNDANE

my intent
to focus completely
on the savior
with 12 days of "CHRIST"MAS
but the TRUE LOVES
came
night after night
miracle after miracle
to not acknowledge
these miraculous gifts
not only would appear
ungrateful
but would also
deny what
CHRIST
represents
love
hope
charity
service
miracles
*EXTRAMUNDANE
|ˌekstrəmənˈdān|*adjective rareoutside or beyond the physical world.

ADIEU

hello, good bye

two words that come

with great humility

hello sister moon

hello debbie

"the snow...alone in my car
i prayed
a knock at my window
it was my dad!"

hello diane

"i am most like my dad...i drive
the speed limit
chapstick by day
mentholatum before
i go to bed"

hello denise

"no more dancing
in the living room
you'll wear out
the carpet"

hello dawn

"his love for big band music
first swept up in his arms
later on his feet
we would dance"

hello adele

"how we appreciate
the close friendship,
influence in my
family's life
an added blessing for
also being our neighbor
he came to jordan's
baseball games"

hello brother moon

we've cried you a river
tears of joy

for a life well lived

tears of sadness
you will be missed
tears of comfort
in the legacy you have left

for eternal life that awaits
so
good-bye sir

good-bye friend

 good-bye grandpa

and great-grandpa too

good-bye dad

yes, we've cried you

a river...

a moon river
at that"

good-bye dear
and

good night ira gale moon
*ADIEU
*good-bye

a profound 
moment for me
was the babe in arms
presumably a
 great 
granddaughter
as family members
kissed brother moon
good-bye
with an outstretched hand
she waved
and spoke what she knew
"ABC, ABC, ABC"
just what someone might say
(with a limited vocabulary)
maybe she knew his
powerful influence
as an educator, teacher,
honorable man
