In Memory of Max

 
Those who love you will really miss
They send up their love and a kiss
Your “Meow” was so great to hear
You are in their hearts very dear

Your new home has great love and peace
Keep their love and playtime release
Many pets are here to befriend
My own pet vibrations I send

Watch down from heaven with content
In Paradise your hours are well spent
In their dreams let your spirit soar
I do know that you they adore!

Comfort I try to bring to all
You’ll have much fun like dog with ball!
A King you are wherever you roam
Rest in peace in your lovely home

By Christina R. Jussaume

A Royal Feline -

His Name is Mr. Max

Dear Mr. Max -

For Seventeen years, you gave me

your devoted love and companionship.

You never complained or whined

or show a moment of wanting

anything else, but what you had.

Always a purr in your throat

never a howl or hiss from you

your royal beauty out stood all

other felines around you.

For you Mr. Max were the

 King of the Feline World…

Love from,

The Mother Cat

Friends...

It is said, one can count their true friends on one hand...

I have a loyal friend, her name is Karen.

She is always there for me whether

I need her or not - this is the

kind of person she is. This is

the note she sent to me today - 

because she cares. With a friend like

this, could I ask for anything more?

Lifetime of Treasures

Memories tonight tuck scenes away

As one’s mind is in slumbers rest

Thoughts hidden deeply inside

Mind’s sweet memory box

Lifetime of treasures

With bright vision

Captured scene

Preserved

Moments

Stay

Stay

Moments

Preserved

Captured scene

With bright vision

Lifetime of treasures

Mind’s sweet memory box

Thoughts hidden deeply inside

As one’s mind is in slumbers rest

Memory tonight tuck scenes away

The Light of Truth...

During a time when faith was swallowed

by forces of a dismal withdrawal from life,

a solitary mind could not expand or fight

the reality of what was before its body lost

Beaten down by confusion, by a confinement

of ones thought process, longing to be within

oneself, thy desire to dwell among a peaceful

existence that was sadly drawn away

Striving to achieve true wellness of a spirit,

the soul continues to survive a hindering

black weight put upon its body that must

carry a burden heavy to a bewildered mind

Praying to break the chain that confines a will

of the captured being of beings, the grace of

one shall over come a blackened hold that

entwined two arms that reach out to ones world -

as the light of truth shall overcome

- Rhoda Galgiani

Happy Mother's Day...

One who is the strength
the one you can lean on
who has the right answer
when questions are undone

One who gives her heart
and wipes away our tears
shares her love from the start
fixes our messes rids us of fears

One who taught us from day one
all that our lives shall come to be
taking pride in daughter and son
our Mother, God watches over thee

Happy Mother’s Day

- Rhoda Galgiani

My Owner is Welcome, Too!

Dogs Welcome

A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest

town he planned to visit on his vacation. 

He wrote: I would very much like to bring my dog with me.
He is well-groomed and very well behaved. Would you be

willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?"

An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who wrote: 

SIR: "I've been operating this hotel for many years. In all that

 time, I've never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware

or pictures off the walls.  I've never had to evict a dog in

the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly.

And, I’ve never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. 

Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel.

And, if your dog will vouch for you,

 you're welcome to stay here, too."

Struggle is on going with

an up and down motion

the mind becomes tangled

with confusion of its body

Intimidation, a wall of black

divides the want and will as the

mind drives one into a depth of

despair, almost dead and defeated

Heart of strong will grasp the

situation at hand gains control,

overpowers the dark invasion of a

untimely disruption deep within

Mind and heart work in conjunction

with the soul bringing a trust of

encouragement, a union with a

conquering victorious nature -

as one wins the title again
