Married to an Ironman

I am married
to an Ironman

all the time and
training span

has come and gone
but I know

this race won't be
his last show

is it today?

play
the day
full away
and don't say
anything like "nay"
keep it happy and fey
til we can one day stray
from this world; is it today?

another broken heart

what have you done
how can it be
that all that I've taught
has escaped between you and me

I don't know how to act
or even what to say
when I see you next
will I still feel this way

it blows my mind
and tears up my heart
to know all I've worked for
seems to be torn apart

even if that is not true
it's what I think and feel
I don't know if I will overcome it
or if time truly will heal

a full heart

it does my heart good
when you do as you should
I always knew you could
and so glad that you would

when I hear that you learn
what we have only to yearn
to help you discern
as this life you sojourn

my heart is so full
in my eyes tears pool
while I play the fool
since you are off at school

drought relief

the rain started early
and is still going late
it's rained all day
and it's been great

the ground needs it so bad
the plants and animals too
will it bring relief?
for now it will do

it's been so long since
we had a good hard rain
and I am sure this is not enough
we'll need it soon again

time and time again

time and time
again

over and over
refrain

repeat and repeat
then

seems to never end
when

one day it does

hook and lure

gotta get it
figured out
how to navigate
the new design

it seems that
once you learn
the first one
a new style becomes mine

gotta get the
labels in
that's for sure

so important
in this game
of hook and lure
