Goodbye November...

Last day of November

the seasons pass so fast

Christmas around the corner

holidays don't seem to last

Looking forward to Spring

love beautiful flowers

along ways off it seems

can't wait will count the hours

Peace can be a joy for some

calm overtakes the mind

seasons complete one's life

His blessings always sublime

- Rhoda Galgiani

It Seems Today!!!

To All Young Men...Thank You

Manners are rare today
oh, maybe between two
but not much otherwise

People seem to busy

can't find a kind moment

to speak to another

Simple words of 'thank you'
just isn't heard much
manners seem to be lost

But, I have now noticed
being an old senior
young men have held the door...

their Mother's raised them right!!!

Maggie...

Dedicated to: Maggie

Met a young lady

at McDonald's yesterday

she was working on

computer did it her way

Nice conversation

told her of 'Expressions' site

she seemed all excited

supportive made me feel right

So nice to speak to her

but, she had broke her toe

now taking it easy

resting is her way to go...

a young lady named Maggie

Time can mend a broken heart

but our memories never die

years go by the sun still shines

my lonely dreams question why

Years of our happy moments

dreams never to be broken

one day the end clearly seen

tears came love never spoken

Love for you was forever

you told me the same truth

never questioned our moments

for our time was blessed from youth

Time can mend a broken heart

this may be true for some

our love still remains in my soul

forever you are with me...

 for we are one

- Rhoda Galgiani

Our Lord...

Beauty comes to those who see

beyond light that's before thee

take time to pause here and now

for time passes quickly for thou

Every vision in thy view

planted there for me and you

brightens up a lost stale mind

blessings are ever so kind

Don't be afraid ask of Him

favors will come you will win

love is there for all to see

thank you comes from you and me

Being humble is your gift

grants us joy and gives a lift

for He was there then and now

caring never takes a bow...

our Lord Jesus Christ

Beautiful Nature...

With His Hand a Creation Began

Staring out at the horizon

one sees the outline of the sea

waves churn up a bit

white caps leap in bounds

Seashore is clean and soft

with sand beneath the feet

one walk with delicate steps

hopes of a forever footprint

Such calm and happiness

this moment brings to one

quiet breeze touches the face

lift ones structure up high

Surely time will be remembered

as years quickly pass by

pleasant memories tucked away

comes to one in quiet moments...

His creation again
captures the human heart

- Rhoda Galgiani

The Way it Should Be...

Happy Thoughts for You and Me!

Quiet is the day

as leaves go their way

when birds in the sky

never question as to why

Take moments with peace

clear mind with release

enjoy ones own thought

happiness now brought

Really don't need anyone

He's my partner He's the Son

Guides along His path

saves all from harsh wrath

Today is calm start

joy within ones heart

mind sees happy view

the way it should be...

yes, for me and you

- Rhoda Galgiani

Turning...

Her eyes turned to the golden sky 

as a vision came upon her image 

shadows behind takes shape 

that brings life to a full circle 

Thoughts within the being 

are shuffled and twisted 

new beginnings seem evident 

at this moment in time 

Calm overtakes one 

brings peace to the heart 

daily life can and does change 

one wakes and wonders 

Accept what is and what will be 

for now life seems to turn 

one step at a time with calm 

on a path with new beginnings 

- Rhoda Galgiani

Speak and He Will Listen...

 

He comes to us silently

when we all least expect it

blesses the moment at hand

grants us peace and harmony

Sometime we don't think about

the blessings that are received

we just take them for granted

think all will be well later

The truth is He is there

always taking care of us

when we least expect it

peace returns to our moment

Let's not take life for granted

be grateful is important

for His love is real and strong

when we speak to Him our words...

are always heard

- Rhoda Galgiani

Take Note...

Learn to Take a Slower Pace

Calmness to the mind

brings one clear vision

set aside woes of today

light seen from above

Take time for slow walk

is direction to take

guidance there for all

seek and acknowledge

Busy time is necessary

must learn to be calm

when moment is before you

'discipline' is word to capture

Time will pass us quickly

each individual must learn

how to calm the pace

how to gain the peace...

take note

He shows up daily

- Rhoda Galgiani

The Seashore...

The sea is roaring

this November day

a wind blows white caps

waves go their own way

Beautiful ocean

is blessing for all

lots of sea creatures

come they hear our call

Beauty along coast

harmony for us

He created shores

our visit a must

So take a moment

enjoy the warm sand

we won't be here long

we're blessed by His hand

- Rhoda Galgiani

Lunch...

Today is a day

of pure enjoyment 

friends get together

lunch for fun we say

Eat at Red Lobster

our favorite place

lots of good sea food

birthday lunch for her...

Happy Birthday

Can't Be Bothered...

Suggestion of thought

comes with help in mind

one's independence

pushes voice away

To many don't think

can't bother with life

prefer waited on

no join in or thought

Some people with life

like what surround them

gains new fun knowledge

bits about world too

For those who don't care

sad for them each day

so much enjoyment

for those who take part...

with what will touch them

- Rhoda Galgiani
