Meet My Dad

My little boys are growing up, Normal, healthy, not too bad— And confidentially I suspect, No worse than Grandpa was, or Dad. Though true at times they irritate me, At times they make my heart feel glad, When friends so proudly they introduce— "I want you to meet and know my Dad." No epitaph could grace my tomb, No greater homage could be had, Than for my sons to say to friends— "I wish that you had known my Dad."

Poise

I was awaked from troubled sleep Of dreams most disconcerting; My mood was mean and querulous, And thoughts were controverting. Through latent dream-thought came a song, With gayness effervescing; I could but wonder how bird sang When all was so depressing, For rain had fallen through the night, And the leaden dawn was chill; Though poorly housed, he shook himself, Continuing joyous trill. He, exposed to the elements, And I, warmly housed and dry; For shame on me to let a lark, Show a greater poise than I.
