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.
