A Single Pink Rose

A single pink rose came to love my heart

Given with promise forever shall be

Bonding between two from the very start

A single pink rose became love from thee  

Given with promise forever shall be

Words spoken from one heart to another

A single pink rose became love from thee

Happiness fulfilled came from the other

Words spoken from one heart to another

Gentle moment’s love that was newly found

Happiness fulfilled came from the other

As two come together forever bound

Gentle moment’s love that was newly found

Bonding between two from the very start

As two come together forever bound

A single pink rose came to love my heart

I'm Mr. Max...

My name is Mr. Max

I am a Maine Coon Cat,

I’m almost 17 years

Let me bring you all cheers

Life has been good to me

I am happy full of glee,

Mom Oh, you know who I mean

cares for me this entire scene

  

When I was a tiny Kit

at the shelter, she came to get,

well actually, she adopted my Sis

came back for me she couldn’t dismiss

So, off we went to Mommy’s home

we were adopted never to roam,

that was 17 long years ago

my Sis has left me that is my woe

I use to be a big boy of 23 pounds

I am old and weight comes off in bounds,

my Mom she worries, I say, ‘Don’t fret’

I’m not ready to go just yet

So, this is my story I am loved a lot

I thank God Mom came for me she sought,

every Kitty should be so blessed

being adopted is the very, very best

Hope...

Hope is a word we use to

get where we want to be

but, sometimes people

use the word too freely -

forgetting to put a search

within the word - to find

what they are hoping for...

A Sea's Score

Evening mist touches one’s lips with a soft kiss

Beams of moonlight gleam with a heavenly touch

Cast a hollow glow in the salted sea mist

Sea breezes stir the salted air in one’s hutch

Grasp violence the sea blankets with its wrap

Captures in her finger’s with a tightened clutch

Waves crash the shoreline with her foamy white caps

Sea takes again white sand with her stormy wrath

Captures sea creatures pushed to shore in her traps

Shore is wildly blown from the wind in sea’s path

Violent rages as she claims again her shore

Drowns all - she commands nature its final bath

Those in her salty wake feel her declared war

As the sea casts her spell to even her score

Anjana to Their Rescue...





 When hurricane Hannah separated two white tigers from their

mother, Anjana came to the Rescue. Anjana, a chimp at TIGERS

in South Carolina became surrogate mom and playmate to the

cubs, even helping with bottle feeding, according to The Sun.
But, here's the truly amazing part - This is something

Anjana does all the time, having helped raised

leopard and lion cubs on several occasions.
