Truth and Trust


Honesty is either there or not
some just can't find it within their hearts
stories are told to please only them
lies get bigger from the very start

Why aren't people more honest today
lips move from one lie to another
how does a heart grow in purity
when filth in one's mind gets no better

Believing in truth among strangers
and honesty with love ones prevails
as truth is lost so is one's respect
truth hides deep inside walls as one wails...

 then love dies slow death in wall's plaster

God So Loved His Animals...


Quiet is the day
kitties take their snooze
filled hungry tummies
happy and content

What a life they have
mommy does it all
they're happy and well
blessed and safe at home

God loves animals
whether big or small
He calls to humans
care and love also

Mommy's feelings big
lots of love to share
born with gentle heart
for God's creations...

wherever they roam

Rain Rain...


Rain rain you come again
all grass appears deep green
moisture wash dust away
clean start tomorrow's day

Rain rain blessed us again
brings life to flowers sleep
roots churn deep in the ground
can't wait to show their crown

Rain rain God's tears touch all
His way to renew earth
its a blessing to us
thank you it is a must...

grateful from those who love
beautiful earthly home

Easter Joy


Easter a quiet day for some
sun shines so its not too glum
families go and do their thing
some to church as their bells ring

Singular day the time goes by
family far away I don't see why
but all live the way that they do
why question about them or you

Another holiday goes its own way
Happy Easter that's what some say
spread a bit of joy here and there
let others know someone does care

Be kind to one and all today
spread joy the sociable way
time goes by so very fast
today could be one of our last... 

as we remember HE has risen

- Happy Easter from,
Rhoda, Gracie and Sissy

Nature's Glory


Rain on windowsill
washes the panes down
breeze does quickly dry
prepares for next round

Daily weather surprise
temperatures try to grow
still too soon still cool
slow warmth it is so

Been long wet winter
gentle summer will come
wait will be soon over
will long for cold yes some 

Weather is a surprise
each day different story
still happy with it all
nature brings her glory

Waiting for Love...


Disappointment comes in all sizes
small one day a bit bigger the next
confidence learned from experience
as one deals with this and with that

Situations can't be taken as fact
example love isn't always there
sometimes it can drift quickly away
for it wasn't kept strong and alive

Love as with everything else in life
has to be worked on every day
keep the spark alive and glowing
for if not the glow quickly fades

Today with the fast past of the world
love isn't always around the corner
for one to find the other takes time
grasp the moment know you are blessed...

for many moment hasn't come yet

Out to Lunch...

Dedicated to the Young Family
I Said 'Hello' to at Wendy's...rg

Went to lunch today with friend
saw a family with young tots
of course had to say 'hello'
smiled with beautiful family lots

Little baby has shy sister
Daddy looked a bit shy too
didn't want to speak just ate
Mommy and I spoke they chewed

They all brought me such joy
lovely family that they are
kind of sad as my family
lives away so very far...

no Burgers at Wendy's for us!

Sissy Girl

Sissy at the Windowsill ~ 2 Years Old

Sissy sits on the windowsill
sun shines on her bright
she sees all the squirrels
sit quiet not to fright

Special spot she loves
goes there all day long
sees the leaves that fly
but in house she belongs

If she does go out
she must stay by me
such a good girl she is
happy on the grass is she

Sissy is a bit rebellious
but does what she is told
I control her inside life
be good so you'll grow old...

Takes Care of Me!




Chores always come around
just when one wants to rest
vac dust clean up the sink
everyday is a test

Easy done when one's young
energy at a high
chores zipped through easily
all done no question why

Today lazy no dust
but laundry must be done
load car another chore
up to me I'm the one...

who takes care of me!

Meet Randy Pace...

Dedicated to: Randy Pace
New Leader of Knox GOP ~ Knoxville, TN

Spoke to a sweet family member
he answered the phone today
he is my Son-in-Law who is special
young, handsome bright as a sun ray 

He makes my day so happy
with his uplifted spirit and tone
sounds like he is always smil'in
when I talk to him on the phone

He lives far away from me
long two day travel by car
wish to visit Daughter and him 
but the visit is way to far

Daughter is truly blessed
she found this wonderful man
I saw the happiness in their eyes
when he asked her for her hand

Blessed am I to say the least
to have a family member so fine
a loving and caring young man
joined our family at the right time...

my Son-in-Law Randy

Old Examples...

Yeah for Old People!

Age doesn't always become us
moods change as posture changes too
attitudes become more vivid
to those around them who listen

See this in a community
where mostly are now of the aged
they see no more life before them
prefer to sit and be waited on

Some don't feel this downward stale life

they walk talk and play cards with friends
attitudes up and pleasurable
happy smiles they share with other

These are the people to be with

most uplifting and supportive
polite and happy in themselves
brings joy to those who cross their path...

they're old examples to learn from

Life


Personalities change
from one thing to another
wonder why one thinks
the way they do

Everything seems to be Ok
no matter what it is
because freedom allows
whatever one desires

Heck with the neighbor
and the person walking
on the street or in a store
as people do their own thing

Being from the old school
this isn't a life I have chosen
kindness to others does matter
being polite is a virtue even though...

life around me has changed

Beauty is the Day


I'se happy...

Blossoms come to full bloom
fragrant fills the stale air
honeybees start to swoon
delight without a care

Squirrels jumping up and down
they run here and then there
look for food just born found
nuts from trees everywhere

Happy view from window
small creatures dance around
chase others as they go
natures chatter the sound

Glorious is today
joy comes to winters heart
trees come alive their way
happiness from the start...

of a beautiful day

It's Spring...


To talk with someone you like is great
you smile laugh and feel very special
its all secret because they don't know
you have a huge lovey crush on them

As time goes by feelings and crush grows
daily one longs to come upon them
hope for a simple conversation
their sweet smile brightens up the daylight

Love and infatuation is great
ones lifts to unbelievable heights
the world no longer spinning around
one focuses on whats before them...

its spring - love is truly in the air

Remember...

Jesus Protects  His Little Children

Wishing upon a star was fun as a kid
dreams were believable and simple
visions of beautiful sky with rainbows
overtook us with excitement and joy

Innocents was plentiful years ago
not too many worries nor fears in us
let us run down the sidewalks and we'd play
loud laughter and giggles were heard by all

Those days seem to have vanished from our lives
wonders of what is around the corner
what will jump out from the dark path ahead
scenes once only in nightmares now appear

A whole new world out there for one to learn
caution taught very young age for safety
don't speak to strangers the new daily rule 
stay in a group to feel safe in the sun...

remember...Jesus always is watching

Reassured

Our minds are full of stuff!!!

The mind is a deep and serious thing
with questions thoughts and confusing ideas
a walk into the darkness can shatter
peaceful times can consume the emotions

Happiness within brings all joy and love
to maintain this environment takes time
for the rush and discomfort does surround
hidden in four walls will contain most thoughts

Caring and love with the family remains
distance between souls removes time that binds
as each moves in their own pattern of life
love remains but companionship is lost

Bright dreams appear within the darkened night
warmth overcomes moments one spends alone
morning sun wakes to new glorious day
move on with motion and positive thoughts...

one is reassured of self completion
