Are You???


 When a blessing comes
it is tremendous joy -
So grateful for the love
His glow touches my brow -
like a halo!

A Day of Joy





Rainbow touched the sleepy valley below
Yellow streams within cast its glow
Bringing love to all who live there
Share their lives with someone who cares

Planting tulips with ruby red tips
As if the flower was touched by ones lips
Colorful blooms for all to enjoy
Brings happiness to every girl and boy

Evening comes slow but sure
Ends the day with love that is pure
As lovers wish upon a shooting star
Dreams of happiness will take them far

A Solitary Smile




How does one capture true love from
another heart that carries a frown that
hides their emotions from the world?

Or, how does one escape true love
and move within their own world not
concerned with the love of another?

Is life complete as one remains a single
shade on the painter’s pallet that drips as
paint does from the end of the brush?


Simple conclusion - it is acceptable for one
to remain alone, content with life’s path
and teachings of the world and her rules

as the heart accepts today...
with a solitary smile!

A Glorious Pause





Rhythm comes as the breath
releases thoughts of contentment -
a rhythm that brings joy to the heart
filling it with delightful pleasures

Silently the breath is consumed
again, life is digested deep within -
a pale glow come to light as the
breath’s strength nourishes

Serenity now becomes one with
a glorious pause at this moment -
whispers of prayer and then a
spoken word gives thanks

Protected and lead to walk
His path with guidance and shelter -
a soul is prepared with a touch of
His grace, from His forever home

Tears


Tears
 tears leave watermarks
souls displaying sad sorrow
the world’s eyes are wet

What Is...


What Is…

What is around the corner for me?
I don’t know, I just have to wait and see -
Is it a special moment that I will tuck away
with sweet dreams of change to come my way?
I don’t know at this moment in time but,
until then I will continue to write my rhyme…

Gim'me Chocolate

Gim’me Chocolate

Well, my entry is kind of bland,
cause I’m on a weight loss diet,
dessert is not good for this hungry hand

But, when I do have something sweet
it’s instant pudding, chocolate and yummy,
a creation that is quite a fulfilling treat

Open the Jello-O Pudding brand,
mix lovingly with one and half cups sweet milk,
fold in a half tub of cool whip with the other hand

Pour this mousse mixture into half cup dishes
chill just 5 minutes in your faithful refrig,
top with cool whip to fill your sweet wishes

Soothing my sweet tooth’s craving til
tomorrow when my tummy cries again -

Gim’me Chocolate!

Drift



 Your heavy desire
only allow you to see
what you are looking for -
Travel the road with questions
look high and low along the way
seek your answers; do not soar

Confusion causes doubt
clear the mind step by step
take a stroll to the truth -
Grow within the lost heart
harsh lessons are now learned
go back to trustful youth

 Sing to the heart with love
answers will reveal doubt
from the wings of a dove -
Drift to places of peace
calm the minds doubtful side
joy will come; pain will cease
