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!

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
