Got to thinking today of
My inspirations in life
People, places and things
Morning, noon and night
Men like Yastrzemski
Armstrong, Kennedy and Lightfoot
Men who took the world by storm
Gone down in history with high note
Women like Earhart
Guthrie, Whitford and Ride
Brave, competitive and monumental
Be it in race cars or planes sky high
Places like Scituate, Massachusetts
Grand Canyon and Lawson Tower
Spaces deep inside of me
Colorful as radiant flower
Animals of character
Whales, Blue Jays, Dogs and Cats
What they teach us humans
What I wouldn’t give just to chat
Memories of days gone by
Lost in rear-view mirrors
Childhood haunts
Heart’s flowing rivers
