HOW A GUY CAN BECOME A HERO IN THE KITCHEN – HOW TO OPEN A STUCK JAR LID

By Charles Robert Lindholm

You Can Always Tell
When A Hero Is Needed
In The Kitchen
When You Hear
Your Sweetie
Scream

Invincible

When I was young, you were invincible.
You were like Superman, but better
Because I had never seen evidence
Of a Kryptonite that might harm you.

You seemed to effortlessly
hold back the dangerous flood,
And fearlessly protected me
From ever encroaching reality.

HAIKU: IT TAKES REAL COURAGE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

 

It takes real courage

Life from the armchair

I’ve sat here for what seems forever

The chair carries an imprint of me

Of rainy days and cups of tea

Of breezy sunny days and a pile of  books on my lap

Oh the places I went, the scents I breathed

The friends I made, the men I have loved

All in the palm of these two trembling hands

If I Could

 

If I could, I’d hold you tight and whisper in your ear,

“You are safe, you are loved, I care, and I’m here.”

If I could, I’d help you find greater inner peace

From all your grief and torment I’d help you find release
