Chocolate Fantasy

Chocolate morsels melting

Creamy delicate

Difficult eating a bit

Melts quickly in mouth

Making room for more

Resist not -

Gone!

A Breeze

A stir passes in a breeze
touches whom it shall please
Bringing calm to one's heart
whispers songs like a lark
Flows slowly on its way
the breeze lyrics do say -
I love you...

Your Shadow's Shadow

The evidence of a

 higher power is

all around us,

as He showers His

cherished children

with glorious visuals,

glowing with a thousand

 hues coming from a

rainbow after a storm.

May His tears of joy

that He sheds peering

over the vast masterpiece

of this wondrous world

He created for us all, gently

wash away every earthly,

distasteful, disorder that

has come to be within

your living soul.

As we take into our spiritual

being the cleansing breaths of

purity He so lovingly gives,

realizing and consuming

in thought that there is truth

and salvation that surrounds

the body as a halo when we open

our hearts to receive Him knowing…

 You are never alone as He is

always within your shadow’s shadow.

I Moved My Lips...

Now that I have got some pet peeves off my chest

I better start posting something enjoyable...

Thank you for reading my posts and maybe

you will consider passing a few

‘Thank You’s and ‘Your Welcome’s’

along to family and friends - maybe

the jester will renew some good

will toward others...

I Moved My Lips...

Now that I have spoken

the words seem to run true -

Let’s all come together

speak some words sweet from you -

Words from a special heart

speak sentiments of love
Comes simple from the start

you’ll be blessed from above...

Manners! Where Have You Gone???

I don’t know, I guess I am on a roll for whining!

My friend and I were walking to the parking lot

when we saw a painter coming towards us -

we moved over onto the grass and he passed us.

When he passed by I then said “Your Welcome”

and he turned and said, “Aaaaa, Ohhhhh” and

continued his walk to one of the apartments.

Well, this seems to be America today as I see it.

I have noticed there is no communication between

people let alone a mannerly jester between anyone.

How hard is it to say “Thank You” to a stranger?

How hard is it to say “Your Welcome” if indeed

someone does take the time to voice a mannerly

comment to you? I don’t know, I guess it’s difficult.

I truly believe we all must teach each other manners

again in our new world. Oh, I know the words are in there,

just hard to form our lips in a mannerly way, it seems! I

do believe it all starts at home - re-learning to each other

as we realize this country is deteriorating in many ways.

And, this saddens me for sure as I just don’t get it. I do

believe in voicing a sincere ‘Thank You’ if at all possible.

I have made it a point to say “Thank you” to the cashier

at the grocery store and also mentioning the great service I
have received. If there is no response I then say “Your Welcome”

 and the clerk whose mind is somewhere else comes alive. Sure

 enough they will say “Oh, sorry” or something to that effect and

 we both smile at our conversation - I then walk away happy!

Living in a Senior Community I find many old people

have lost their manners. All they want is to be served

and catered to. Well, I am not walking down that road! I

also believe very strongly that if one can ‘hold their hand out

to accept something from another, then they surly could move

their lips to say Thank You'. Now really, how hard is that?

 World War II Baby says - not that hard at all! Try it!!!

A World War II Baby Speaks!

Communication today is far from yesterday

where has the talk gone - oh, I know

into a little speaker with a listener

on the other side of the conversation

In some cases this instrument is so

important for emergencies and such

but, for everyday talk I don’t think so -

people don’t see each other anymore

As time goes on I just can’t get

with the program and use my cell

phone only going to my parking lot

that is - in case I stumble and fall

I don’t know - I guess I just liked

America from long ago when life

was just a bit simpler, pure and

honest being a delight to grow up in

I have to admit for me it is

very difficult at times being

A World War II Baby...

A Glorious Win!

Touch of His hand upon the brow

brings comfort to a empty soul

As confusion now swiftly fades

positive thinking is the goal

Life may lead one lost and alone

but, faith within does speak out loud

Rids discontent from events lost

brings one out from under a cloud

Solitude can answers one's woes

with quiet steps of a gentle walk

The mind is cleared from disarray

light shines brightly one hears His talk

Touch of His hand upon the brow

brings peace and guidance once again

Love in the heart felt all around

tells one it’s a glorious win!

- Rhoda Galgiani

Inhale

Have you ever noticed how a feeling

can come to one through the innocents of

nature’s flight that can send you reeling?

Look homeward and see His smile

as His creations fly within a silent sound

telling us He is with us all the while

A simple message seen with our eyes

that calls to all who adore, He says,

I am watching over your silent cries…

take a moment to inhale - Me

New Dawn of Reality

A thousand mile journey completes

the destiny of thy awaited fate.

Scars upon the burning soles of thy feet

reminds the traveler of the harsh toils past.

No more shall there be such a journey,

for the toll has been paid and the

goodness of the future is at hand.

Peace shall come to thy longing spirit.

The beginning of a new and uplifting

day has arisen for thy who has

waited so patiently, for it to come.

Lessons harshly learned are forgiven.

Silent no more, thy shouts with joy

at the coming of the new dawn of reality.

Happiness to start afresh is waiting thee.

Penetrating wounds have been put aside,

for thy wounds have silently healed.

Glory to thee who shall live again,

who had the strength to set forth

on the path to a new beginning,

for this wondrous world awaits you.

Your beginning has just begun to live.

Love Opens

Love opens the door to one’s heart

if one is brave enough to let it in

One doesn’t know how lonely they are

as feelings were suppressed for years on end

Afraid to open their eyes so they may see

blocked the sunlight darkening deep within

Learn how to live accept love’s gift

Taking a chance on emotions again

Ascend life to higher rainbow peak

Love can cure detained sadness within

One must be ready to take a chance

to complete a cycle determined by Him –

for love is the answer He has sent
