America's Loss...

Kobe and Gianna Bryant

 January 26, 2020

The world is in shock

over the sudden death of

Kobe Bryant 41 and

his Daughter Gianna 13

An American Athletic Icon

loved by all because of his

glowing personality and abilities

Global prayers for the family

I pray you both rest in peace

- Rhoda Galgiani

A Steady Pace...

 A chill in the air

is comforted by the

warmth of a hearts glow

with thoughts of grandeur

Control of the mind

remains the goal of one

pure thoughts clarifies all

as decisions become focused

Sometimes this takes practice

for the world moves so fast

all is a buzz around us

to pace ourselves remains...

our moment of truth

- Rhoda Galgiani

Thoughts...

Thoughts come in and out

deep some want to shout

memories from long ago

stir the mind ready set go

Happiness runs deep inside

other thoughts want to hide

life for all is up and down

sometimes we laugh like a clown

Take each day one at a time

we don't know which will rhyme

open eyes a morning bless

memories come during our rest 

Clear vision from long ago

love in the heart feel and know

happy soul within me still

continue there is my will

- Rhoda Galgiani

I Long to Say...

I long to say what is within a word,
a word that says what I show
with loyalty, with light
always a part of His glow

I long to say what is within a book,
a book that says what I was
with faith, with spirit
always a part of His world

I long to say what is within a song,
a song that sings a story
with harps, with joy
always a part of His word –

that is a lyric waiting

- Rhoda Galgiani

Widen Eyes...

Peace and quiet claims the day

content now within oneself

it is the only safe way

Take care brings one inner peace

walk the path with some guidance

one's soul receives a release

Day by day have a clear mind

also carry solid hand

life will come steady and kind

New year opens doors to all

widen eyes see life today

a fresh start be strong don't fall

- Rhoda Galgiani

Happy New Year 2020

Happy

New Year 2020

Sending warm wishes

for health and happiness

in the new year for

you and your family

from...

Rhoda, Gracie and Sissy
