Deep Thoughts...


 Memories come back
from time to time
thoughts from years ago
happiness sublime

Where did it go
why did marriage leave
all was taken for granted
because it was believed
 
Going day by day
all becomes a style
no thought of tomorrow
all seems to be worthwhile
 
But then something changes
life is in shock for it fell apart
  life can't return to it's start...
 
 silently it now walks
 a non chosen path
 
- Rhoda Galgiani
Author's Note:
I was married to a wonderful man for 25 years - but, then it fell apart. Why? Who knows! I blame myself for I became stagnate and unappealing and completely sweep into being a housewife - not a wife! But, I am happy to say my relationship with my X is very good, for as I stated he is a wonderful man as well as a great X husband....rg

Gracie & Ginger ~ We are Blessed!


 
 
Kitties lay on the bed while Mommy does her things
 sleepy eyes on their heads dreams fly with golden wings
Peace is all around comfort touches us all
totally quiet is the sound nothing dares to fall
Three of us in our home we take one day at a time
none of us want to roam our love is so sublime
Blessings come to us thankful yes we are
sins fall with His touch - faith is greatest by far...

Thoughts of Long Ago...

 
Herefords Feeding...
 
Hooves pounded the ground
a daily occurrence with the cattle
as they saw the truck they'd
come a running in a herd

They'd wait for the alfalfa
as Dad unloads for them
tails whipped and heads sway
in the wind upon the ranch

Days are gone but memories remain
young years were a blessing
all is within my heart forever for
now I remain in an ordinary life...

Author's Note:
My Dad was a Cattle Rancher north of
Sacramento, CA.We raised Herefords
(white face cattle). As I grew up I rode
the fences with him, saw the cattle branded
with our Bar X Brand and fed them alfalfa too!
I am so grateful for my 14 yrs with my Dad
and all his teachings - He was a huge animal
lover, learning it all from him so am I...rg

Nature's Gift...


Flutter of the wings
brings a slight breeze
around the bird feeder
 
One at a time turns are taken
but if one crowds they are left out
manners among nature does prevail
 
Daily my eyes see them feeding
joy fills my heart as they eat
I know nature is surely heaven sent...
 
take a moment to view the
beautiful nature around you also
