Upon Turning 40: What I Really Wanted For My Birthday
A chocolate cake with white, confectioner's icing
A steak, medium-rare
A tall glass of water or wine or whiskey
The clamor of close friends at ease with one another
The silence to find my own thoughts
Two hours to buy new boots and a jacket
The pinch of her jewelry as I squeeze my wife's hand
An extra hour each day to hear my children giggles
More failth and patience and passion
Less trepidation
Greater understanding and wisdom
Enough money to make life easier but not so much I forget who I am

Flightplan - a poem
Take my life and make it thine.
Fuel the stars, on me to shine.
Take these all, I beg of Thee.
Open my eyes, Thy will to see.
Guide me down the narrow path.
Praise you for salvation's bath.
I trust in Thee, O Lord Most High
And on Hope's wings again will fly.
