The One About Our Trip To NYC

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Did I mention to you that we just took a vacation?

We had so much fun traveling across our great nation.

 

We dropped the boys at their Grandma’s and then we flew off.

And spent four nights and five days in a New York City loft.

 

We visited my brother, David’s brother, and my dad was there too.

We saw a musical, went shopping, and I lost my breath viewing a statue.

 

We then hopped on a bus that showed us the city’s sites.

Including a tall building that made me afraid of heights.

 

We went to Little Italy, China Town, and visited Times Square.

We took cabs, rode the subway, and had the best time, I swear.

 

Now that we’re home, I feel refreshed and brand new.

So sit back, relax, I’d like to share a few photos with you.

If You Knew It Was the Last Time

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

If you knew it was the last time, when it was the last time,

 what would you say?

He didn’t know, my dad.

He didn’t get to say, what he always meant to say,

to his big brother.

He only said

goodbye.

And hung up the phone.

And it was,

goodbye.

My dad’s brother has passed.

And I wonder, if my dad knew

it would be the last time, when it was the last time,

would he have said, what he should have said

every time

for the first time.
