I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

My country lost a true statesman this week.
Brian Mulroney served as Canada’s 18th Prime Minister from 1984 to 1993.
Canadian politics have changed drastically since the Mulroney era, and over my lifetime. Certainly the Conservative Party Mulroney once led has eroded to the point where my father’s type of conservatism no longer exists.
Depending on which side of the political spectrum you reside, opinions of the man’s legacy will differ. His accomplishments, however, on the global, social, and environmental scale are all worthy of note.
Mulroney cared about Canada.
Our country is better off from his presence.
Rest in peace.
Brian Mulroney
1939 – 2024

Not spring, not yet,
not the type of cold you can’t forget.
Wake and wonder how we slept,
what has been done, what is still left?
Plans will change, uncertainty,
the plans you made unknowingly.
Emotions always come into play,
when rain soaks down,
we feel the grey.
The time between night or day;
a further chance, another way.
