I know how he feels

advertising the 4 pups. And set about nailing it to a post on the edge of
his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on
his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of little boy.
“Mister,” he [...]

that take our breath away.”

Thru a child…

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The creeks and streams were long gone back into the earth. It was a dry season that would bankrupt several farmers before it was through.
Every day, [...]

If I knew

If I knew it would be the last time
that I’d see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

Her plaintive plea near split the air:
Oh, God, please spare my boys!”
She fought [...]

Visited there doctor’s office more than the doctor did, sold sixty-two

play ground and figured out how to attach nine patches onto my child’s
scout sash with staples [...]
