Memories
Scattered pictures
Overshadowed
By fast changing times
Out of my control
Out of my hands
But, my heart still beats
My soul still smiles,
As a new life begins
With open arms.
Forever There

We lost a friend to mental illness, they say
There was nothing we could do
It just happened that way.
Into an institution and then out again
In again and out again
Somewhat like pestering rain
In pain or insane, insane or in pain?
Confusion, confusion everywhere
Unable to guess the face she would wear
Often giving us such a huge scare
Ready to pull out every last hair.
Whispering people wherever we looked
Finding her hidden in a dark nook
Or staring intently into a book
The littlest worry is all it took.
Lost in a psychosis all on her own
Struggling madly, yelling into the phone
There she was so very much alone
Lost in a world filled with unknowns.
The power of mental illness took her away
Forever lost there and there she will stay.
Forever found there, day after day.

Bright and Strong
We can’t go wrong
Hard work and discipline
Have made our future bright;
Hard work and discipline
Have made us see the light.
Let’s keep the progress going
Let’s strive to do even more
Let’s focus on our future
With the economy at the core.
Let’s think about our seniors,
Job seekers and our youth;
Trades, tech and training
And celebrate the truth.
BC Liberals have succeeded
For many productive years;
They have so much more to offer
With a plan that's void of fears.
Hard work and discipline
Have made our future bright;
Let’s keep the progress going,
To keep things going right.

Dancing on Sunshine

For quite some time now, I have been dancing on sunshine
But, I can’t tell you why.
Something incredible, wild and wonderful has happened to me
But, I can’t tell you what.
It’s not about my job, my finances, my friends or my family
But, I can tell you it’s all about me.
Me, the little me from the Hamlet called North Bend
From sitting on our porch and looking up yonder
to the cars speeding along the Trans-Canada Highway,
to the now bigger me’s life spanning far beyond
that highway to somewhere else, and across continents,
Yes ME.
My two feet are still not on the ground, just yet
My ego is spinning them from salsa to tango
and the cha cha cha
But, when I get them re-grounded
I will open that door, and I will tell you.

Who is this man we praise tonight?
A man who’s gentle, brave and bright.
He gave himself to public life,
To help BC see the light.
We all worked hard to win the fight;
We’d work all day and sometimes night.
The ground was rough, the mood was spite;
The cabinet shuffles gave us quite a fright.
Yet upstream we’d flow to reach the height,
that this man saw, beyond our sight.
He did all he could to make things right,
For which we praise him here tonight.
This poem was dedicated to Senator Jack Austin on the eve of an appreciation dinner
held in his honour, September 22, 1984, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver.
