Our Moments in Time...

Long ago, there stood a moment in time

that we shall all remember knowing

moments shall come around again

Moments of laughter, of joyous times

with one another as the children played

we all came together - as one

Younger days, we grew and longed

for a fulfilled life that was laid out

before us - our destiny - our fate

Memories of friends who shared thoughts

of new homes around us, planting of seeds

that grew and nurtured our growing families

Many know deep in our hearts, we

shall come around again as we passed

through our own moments of time -

we remember those along the way

Happy Memorial Day

Without a Second Thought

Time is an ever-flowing adventure

for it moves forward

without a second thought

As the earth revolves

the sun rises and sets according

to the time clock of the universe

When we awake in the morning

we know the sun will rise

for we have always known

Just as we know the rain

wind and clouds will be there

on a timely basis

Time may move slowly

or swish swiftly by depending

on who we are or where we may be

Sometimes it creeps ever so slowly

we wish it would speed up

to get us through our hour of woe

Suddenly it speeds by and we wish

it would slow down to give us more

time to savior moments of serenity

Learning long ago time stands

not a moment still I will use time

wisely for time shan’t wait for me

Thank You Cedric!

Thank You

My Maintenance Man Cedric

I think of you with joy in my heart

helping me to take care of myself

kind soul you most certainly are

a heart carried on a loyal shelf

So, I thank you my friend here today

Not All Are Aimless...

Blessings come to those with an open heart

one with faith and love towards all others

many are blessed and don’t even realize

truth til a tragedy occurs in them

Grateful should we be from dawn til the dusk

but, many don’t take time to realize

good around them or the blessing that comes

the world move too fast for the aimless mind

Most of life is now taken for granted

some think blessings are deserved just because

we have earned it; ah, I don’t its think so

they come because He sees goodwill in us

Grateful for blessings - I wish for others

to take a moment to expand their faith

to see the light beyond the dark tunnel

not all are aimless...as we give Him thanks

With Love

Moments come with a thrill in the heart

unexpectedly a movement from afar arrives,

quickly turning towards the glow, we shiver

for our moment in time has arrived with love

Joy fulfills us with warmth of completion

visions overtake us giving new perspectives,

the world seems to turn around to a good place

as our lost empty spot is consumes with love

How has my heart wandered so long alone

from day to day with unfulfilled feelings,

all seemed Ok and normal to you and me
then it came and hit us squarely with love

One says where did this love come from

how did it arrive so quickly on this day,

the mystery has been all around us to

prepare us for a touch felt with love...

from His glorious heaven

Confusion

'Hmmmm'

Fear of an unknown place

crowds visions of the mind

Confusion rushes through channels

continues its twist to nowhere

Calm restores the bewilderment

a promise of peace to one’s soul ...

- Rhoda Galgiani

Smiles

One with a sense of humor

will laugh throughout the day

taking with them joy and love

the way it should be, they say

Laugh with me for it is right

as the silly in us brings a special glow

laughing together, we spread bright light

shared smiles, the world will now know
happiness!

My Words - from a Fortune Cookie!

I Get's Rattled, but I Do's Make It!!!

It is now and in this world

that we must live -

through the convictions of

one's own mind and the

courage and strength one

conceives we shall survive

The world’s daily dark

shadow hinders on life

but, through continued

endurance the human body

becomes able to strengthen

warding off the evil spirits

In the end all shall come together

with love in our hearts and

joy in our souls for He is

going to show us the way

with passion and completeness

as it should be - from the beginning...
