Hole In One
by Jackie Bullen
The child calls home excited,
Almost breathless with delight.
"Mom! Guess what the news is?"
Emotions soaring, hearts go tight.
There couldn't be more anticipation,
In the voices of mother and son.
"Is it a baby?" says the mother.
"No Mom! I made a hole in one!!!"

LOVE
by Jackie Bullen
I've prayed that you find peace and love,
as you've been so torn apart.
While still in school, you're first love left,
now that was just the start.
I prayed you'd find a stronger love,
and that soon came to be.
Then slowly, like a fading star,
there was no love left to see.
Another love then crossed your path,
and gave you so much more.
These sparks of love are always yours,
as yet you close that door.
Now as you gather once again,
there's one that's made you glow.
I pray that she will always shine,
as I watch you learn and grow.
Don't think there's no one for you.
Sometimes love seems so far away.
When finally the right one comes along,
they will be there come what may.
