Surround the Lonely Heart



Diamonds created from an uncut stone
buried within the earth’s surface, 
once found they are cut and shaped
with facets of purity

Rare is the diamond that sparkles
with a magnitude of brilliance, 
catches a sad eye for clarity
with hues that glow - blinding

Diamonds fill the heart - the purest
of love is given as the soul surrounds
its glow with depth, to bring a moment
of silence to the heart that feels

Rare is the substance that one takes
for granted, purity and love may be
shared as the diamond opens the heart
to the facets of life as gifts of love -

surround the lonely heart

Me!


Gently felt His touch this day
as I busily go on my way
grocery errands quickly to run
outside I feel His warm strong sun


Brightness filling a noonday rhyme
taking one along quickly in time
shopping needs to be swiftly done
caring for oneself - being one

Happiness fills this single heart
He guides my life from the start
need not to worry, fret or frown
never going to let life get down -
on me!

Simplicity




suddenly, a touch brought
the frown to a smile
without warning the
stranger turned it around
epidemic now shall spread

Let Us Remember

Remembering My Children
 with Picture I Found Online

Remember family and its past
brings joy that fills the heart
Memories appear within the trees
stories that created colorful art

Feisty children and their pranks
they grew up so fast it seems
They played and ran everywhere
such joy they bring in dreams

One longs return to peaceful times
family laughed and enjoyed the fun
But, time moves on in different ways
remember ~ when we were joined as one

One Who Seeks...


Movement all around consumes
realizing a moment is not still
bring thoughts of structure
to the area at hand

Building a safe haven
a magnificent glory to all
for the shelter to ones soul
protects til heaven is reached

Sounds of nature consoles
confusion of a rushed world
to bring peace and comfort
to bring an ideal moment

A mind that wanders adds joy
gentle thoughts carry the body
through torn structures at hand
one who seeks peace is awakened

Solitary Life Complete


A kiss makes the heart young
again and wipe out the years
Moments of passion and love
will dry away the tears

Without love within the heart
one struggles with loneliness
Longing for one to come to thee
willing to hold and caress

Dreams forever remain in ones heart
for as long as the mind shall roam
Strength becomes lonely solitude
brings peace to ones single home

Without strength to withstand it all
one would fly in circles of defeat
They try to understand their world
to make their solitary life complete

Rejuvenation


Upon a journey my feet do troll
through mysterious paths of dreams
longing to regain a long lost soul
happiness found quickly it seems

Visual memories past through the mind
from many years lost long ago
emotions search the strength to be kind
peace returns although seems very slow

Flutters become a waiting heart
as thoughts consume days past
reality brightens the mind to start
one hears words of joy at last

Without past memories that do delight
they bring hope when days are grey
happiness stirs the heart just right
gives rejuvenation to all so they say
