A Plan and Goal


Bright and sunny the day begins
young leaves twinkle in the light
Perfect day all will enjoy and win
comfort becomes the mood just right

Tomorrow predicts overcast with gloom
weather just can’t give us a break
Day will reminds us of a darkened doom
almost like going to the weathers wake

Let’s smile and feel happiness today
for it is what it is that touches our soul
He shares his rainbow for that’s His way
for He’s the one with a plan and a goal

My Beach Fantasy



 S untaned, brown, oiled and steamy
U nderwire tan lines giving sculpture and beauty
N ever ending longing for the salt and the sea
T ainted evil thoughts on a beach just for me
A lways ready to swim and not tell
N o ones business my love making is swell

A Morning Ritual


Happy Birthday Gracie ~ Now 9 Years Old

You wake my senses with love and charm
as you caress my sleeping form
that brings me from a deep slumber 
you wake me to light of an early morn

Sleepy eyed I look at you
excitement stirs in your heart
knowing I am now awake
brightens your  kitty play to start

Each morning you come to me
paw touches my closed eye or cheek
some days you lean against my side
you find your own safe place to sleep

And, some morns I wake up on my own
I wonder if you forgot me that day
how silly am I for there you come
you hear me stir as I get up on my way -

my Gracie

Hoping for a Win-Win


Thoughts come in sort of a weary way
day gloomy but, summer will come someday
Tree limbs gliding with a windy breeze
refresh so sweetly all the young trees

Quite thought as mind moves along
emotional memories come in a song
Alone is thy self as life made her plan
pretend to draw dreams in long lost sand

Watch the movement of the daily grind
emotions come and go within the mind
Another day of peace and quiet again
this is life hoping for a blessed win-win

Awsome ~ Amazon Store Card Customer Rep


Speaking to a young lady today
as I tried to get an account number
straightened out - the moment
was inspiring just to listen to her

Completely knowledgeable
about the conversation that was
at hand she completed the
task with up most speed

Her manners were impeccable
her voice calm and comforting
as you can guess I didn’t have a
clue as to how to correct my issue

The young lady is Alexis from
FL state far from where I roam
I would love to meet her in person to
give her an old white lady 'fist hug’

Just to show you -
manners and common courtesy
 I am happy to say is not totally lost
to the general public after all...

Here Comes Summer...

I’s Ready...

Today the sun was bright
all well for the mind and body
it has been a long time coming as
one waited for the warmth to arrive

One can function in the cold with
bundles of garments that surrounded them
but, as the months pass one is ready to shed
ready to expose their outer shell to the sky

Today it came big, bright and fuller than the moon
whew we said, driving in our car to nowhere
as we remembered not of the months past but,
longing for the warmth to overtake our souls

Being human is hard for we jump here
and there as we search for our comfort
at first glance - the snowy cold is glorious
at first touch - the sun is what we longed for

that is until the temp goes to 95 degrees...
Ready? Here Comes Summer!

His Mysterious Ways...


One waits to be
included as they silently
move along -

Not a moment too soon
another calls to include
the one left behind -

God works in mysterious 
ways to take care of His own
doesn't He -

Confusion Rushes


Dark fear of an unknown place
crowds the shadows of her mind
deep confusion rushes through
mind channels going nowhere

Through a dreary damp night
her soul was called away
to a new place to complete
visions of her lost nightmares

Longing for the tide to turn
brings a calm to her mind of
insanity as thoughts drive her
to deep depths of darkness...

she weeps

Childhood


Sound penetrate ones ears
as the mind quivers with
vibrations of echos that weave
 in and out from lost voices that
revive young child thoughts

Sound from long ago buried in
shallow graves that yearn to rise
to be heard again, to bring joy
and a sense of security to ones
misunderstood puzzled dots

Sound in the deep soul remain but,
reach to be retrieved and heard for
all that was hidden is not there to
bring harm or discouragement only to
bring comfort to childhood plots...

while one plays in wonderland

Forever Home of Glory


Thoughts come about with passion
that consumes the gentle being of me
Visions of yesteryear darting, dancing
within the mind that brings me glee

Maybe it is the season of rebirth
that touches me with grace and love
Or, maybe it is the realization of oneself
that now comes forever more from above

Grateful am I for this turn in my life
a turn of rebirth, a turn that makes me whole
my path with guidance, a journey of faith
that prepares me with joy and peace in my soul

Age come to me but, with a new understanding
thoughts bring me wisdom to complete my task
I am to join Him when He says it is my time in His
forever home of glory that does not wear a mask

Continually Searching For!



Thoughts throughout time
overwhelm the mind
but, as time evolves
the inner being succumbs

One finds the pleasure are
so sublime that if one takes
a moment to indulge pleasant
thoughts of the past peace comes

If one has a vision of uncertainty
a moment of focus clears the clutter
the mind calms and comes to rest
with pleasures of forgotten memories

Thus, a calm mind is enduring
a calm mind brings one to focus
a calm mind brings peace within
a calm mind is what one is...

continually searching for!
