I'd keep your beauty timeless.
like a flower pressed in a book, yes
I wouldn't let it fad...
RICHARD L. RATLIFF I've sent you roses many times.
I've held your hand in mine
RICHARD L. RATLIFF When you build a house
You nail down memories
Paint and stain the fabric of time
RICHARD L. RATLIFF I love wearing a well tailored suit.
Strutting in my sartorial repute.
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Daffodils are yellow trumpets of spring
RICHARD L. RATLIFF God is my superman
I tug on his cape:
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Had I known how sweet they were
I would have saved more of these memories
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Time is passing : not leaden stepping
But sprinting on winged feet,
Quick silver slipping ...
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Hugged my son today
I'm not used to hugging up
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Your laughter : the drug
That cures my emotional infection
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Seems hats have been on top
Of all the stages comings and goings
Helping us remember heroe...
RICHARD L. RATLIFF I'm the cover of a book,
Whose pages are still being written
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Snow is both sides of the same page
It covers the grave and the tulip
RICHARD L. RATLIFF She is a smile in the dark
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Do your thoughts continue and repeat a cycle
Seed, growth, bloom, and seed again
RICHARD L. RATLIFF As I think therefore I am
Am I more if I think more?
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Balanced at the top of the hill
Do I explore the other side
RICHARD L. RATLIFF As the sun sinks
It casts that silver bridge
Across the lake
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Just that sons and fathers
Are like mirrors and daughters are soft
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Let's travel our own interstate highway
Don't let yesterday's ghosts destroy your day
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Mind of engaging empathetic intellect
A woman of complex and lasting beauty
RICHARD L. RATLIFF A trim and tan bikini clad Aphrodite
RICHARD L. RATLIFF May is green and pink and red
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Always enjoyed a smile with dimples
But time adds wrinkles to the smile
RICHARD L. RATLIFF There is nothing to fear
From your reflection
RICHARD L. RATLIFF We learn and grow
Always building on what we know
RICHARD L. RATLIFF You read my words and instantly we are both connected
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Your dreams give me a safety net
Your smile the light that leads me on
RICHARD L. RATLIFF If you build it well, a satisfaction comes
An honor to say I built that with fidelity,
Pur...
RICHARD L. RATLIFF Snow
While falling it hides your passage
When finished it documents your path
RICHARD L. RATLIFF I tend the flowers of my mind
Watering our memories as they bloom

To be the reluctant guardian of your memories
There was light in thos...
