Poems to Lenette

I do my poetry mostly when in bed. 

No writing because it takes place in my head.

I think I will remember each word and line. 

But I do not remember, and that’s fine.

This keeps my desire to create fresh and true. 

And it often brings a picture of you.

I like that best having you on my mind.

To me it is simply that you are one of a kind.

And I will love you till the end of time.

–oo0oo–

I do not claim to know what is beyond.

I do not claim to know what will be found. 

Life itself is full of things we cannot know.

Until they happen, until they show.

And then we know what is false and what is true.

I so want to believe you are in a place where I will be with you.

That, without a doubt, you wait for me, and it will be.

A fact that I will join you one day, 

And we will hug and kiss and laugh and play.

–oo0oo–

You watch over me. I feel your love.

Not physical, but something beyond and above.

When I am in bed, I often reach for you.

But you are not there, and I know this is true.

Still, I reach, wondering where you are.

I feel you all around, and from me, not very far.

I know you are not in pain, and for this I am glad.

And it’s normal that I often feel so sad.

That I miss you is truth, and not bad.

–oo0oo–

I do not claim to know what is beyond.

I do not claim to know what will be found. 

Life itself is full of things we cannot know.

Until they happen, until they show.

And then we know what is false and what is true.

I so want to believe you are in a place where I will be with you.

That, without a doubt, you wait for me, and it will be.

A fact that I will join you one day, I hope to see.

Is my love for you the key?   

I wonder at all those things. I wonder at what my passing will bring.

Sy leased and operated a summer day camp in LA. He and his wife then purchased virgin wilderness land in Northern CA, where they built and operated a coed summer camp. They moved to Las Vegas, NV, and purchased, built and operated a community children’s program for families staying in a major resort casino in Las Vegas. They have created programs for children nationwide that employed many people and in the process developed successful training programs for personnel. This led Sy to lecture on how to train staff and the creating of community within the workplace. Sy was then invited to speak at professional conferences on how best to hire and train employees, which led to his becoming a consultant in the art of improving relationships in a work environment and eventually to his epiphany that “Leaders are the primary problem and the answer to the personnel issues that arise in the workplace.” Sy has written numerous papers on the subject of interpersonal relationships, leadership and power. He has lectured throughout the United States, has been interviewed by the media and has appeared on many radio and TV talk shows
