Thick Skin Isn't Everything

I watched a little beetle
crawling up the wall
it suddenly lost its grip
and to the ground did fall

protected by its armour
it simply shook its head
but then the dog did eat it
and now that beetles dead.

Capsule of Emotion

As the clouds blow by
and the sun breaks through
I close my eyes
and think of you

I see you clearly
as of you where here
the wishing it were true
brings a tear

The capsule of emotion
rolls down my face
then falls to the ground
your final resting place

It goes to join the many
I have left here before
you I miss always
I know there will be more.
