Together We Will Survive

You know that

I love you

and the world

With light in

glorious you

Daily promise comes

to us in our heart

world now to start

Together we will

overcome in time

Virus Be Gone...

Visions of the future

glum and not too bright

for unrest has taken hold

it pushes us left and right

World as we know her

changed in a flash

time shall tell us all

will we grow and last

Going day by day

don't consider life's woes

then an uproar comes

life changes everything goes

What can be done

only practice safe guards

protect ourselves and family

stay home in our own yards...

til virus runs her course!

- Rhoda Galgiani

True Friends...

 Dedicated to my friend and neighbor
Kathy Higgins ~ LI, NY

True friends are special

for they are always there

with understanding

and compassion

True friends are a gift

as needed they do care

special happiness comes

when in their presence

True friends bring comfort

when life is hard to share

conversation is exchanged

then life continues on

True friends are a blessing

sent with love everywhere

He knows what is needed

in everyone's life...

joy shared is now twofold

- Rhoda Galgiani

A Mile...

It's a Beginning...

A mile is a short

distance unless you

times it by another
take one step at a time

Join the walk

together is a bond

that should have

been there from

its beginning

One should not have

to walk alone when

that short mile is

within another path…

- Rhoda Galgiani

Lessons Learned...

Wait for the good to come

time is now on our side

patience in life is key

all around open wide

Today is now different

must move from yesterday

life has done a quick spin

must learn life a new way

Confusion lingers hot

must take a cool step back

prayers with faith all will change

heartfelt hope we don't lack...

maybe not completely

but lessons shall be learned

- Rhoda Galgiani

Never Be Afraid...

View into ones own thoughts

takes silent concentration

it clarifies what visions mean

quiet time is well spent

Questions are answered

fog slowly is swept away

what is to be at that moment

is brought to life clearly

Take time is the true answer

moments spent quietly when searched

brings blessings to questionable thoughts

patience learned within ones solitude

Never be afraid to ask questions

true respect gains knowledge

it's the key to ones expansion
as one listens to glorious truth

Many are afraid to hear thoughts

feel shame will darken their rest

but true love within thy heart

brings truthful light thru Him

- Rhoda Galgiani

Hail NY...

Little pebbles came from the sky

white in color fast do they fly

their name is hail little white ice

bounces around real fast and nice

First time eyes see hail here

was a joy it flew by so near

weather is very strange today

as nature does it her way

Tomorrow maybe some sun

brightly glorious for everyone

Mother nature does her job

trust her she will not rob...

us!
 

- Rhoda Galgiani 

Stand Upright and Tall...

Carry a Lions Heart to be Strong

Blossoms on the trees

bring a new glow

His promise to all

healing will show

Sky a beautiful blue

with slight movement

breeze cleans up the day

nature's breath He has sent

Time will heal all

patience we must show

change is unsettling

for we can't run and go

Faith strong like a lion

remember His promise to all

that He will protect and love

as we stand upright and tall

- Rhoda Galgiani

Inhale...

Have you ever noticed how a feeling
can come to one through the innocents
of nature’s flight that can send you reeling

Look homeward and see His smile
as His creations fly within a silent sound
telling us He is with us all the while

A simple message seen with our eyes
that calls to all who adore, He says,
I am watching over your silent cries…

take a moment to inhale - Me

- Rhoda Galgiani

Peace Gained Today...

Hope is in the wind

the sun shines brightly

calm is the motion

peace in sleep nightly

Wait is very long

time moves slowly on

news to saddened ears

happiness is gone

Trust today ones heart

is all that we feel

peace is gained today

hope will become real

What else can we do

but pray for our soul

as time will cure all

rid virus our goal

- Rhoda Galgiani

Together We Will Win...

 
God's tears come today

as rain fall to the earth

washes all the sins away

see what we are worth

A chance to start anew

look at our lives again

we can do it me and you

wash away our daily sins

Take a moment in time

to view all our cares

each minute yours and mine

let's clean us up everywhere...

together we will win

- Rhoda Galgiani

Being Isolated...

 
So many are isolated

can't seem to adjust

but, if one thinks about it

you can break your routine

Go outside in the yard

or if in an apt take a walk

let the kids run around

but stay within your family

Develop your own peace

I am thankful for my pets

I am use to being on my own

but that is me, not you

It is going to take time

to end this virus that 

that has captured us

but in time it will die off...

we must protect ourselves
and keep the faith

Hugs from,
Rhoda, Gracie and Ginger

Together...

Feel the chill in the air

can't go out anywhere

now we must stay at home

it's sad I want to roam

What can we do but pray

now can't go out to play

it's one day at a time

now moments are just mine

Soon said all will be well

that's if this isn't our hell

 earth becomes one again

kill virus we will win...

together

A Personal Note...

 I got my blankie, how about U?

Being a senior

and living alone

well, not alone

with Gracie and Ginger

I am staying in

only went to the store

a couple of times

I stocked up 2+ weeks ago

I made sure I had

lots of kitty food & litter

lots of mac & cheese

and such as I didn't

want to be empty handed

So, I hope all of you

are being careful

staying away from crowds

and being good to yourselves

This virus is staggering

to all of us as we have not

experienced our country

being shut down like this 

Sending best wishes to all

with prayers from my heart

as we take care of ourselves

and our beloved pets also...

Hugs from,
 Rhoda, Gracie and Ginger

A Difficult Time...

Difficult to write at this time

writer has a heavy heart

know all will be Ok

but until then we'll struggle

Protect oneself daily

use sanitizer regular

be smart about ones health

it's important at this time

America is besides herself

but she will regain strength

as her citizens grow and 

protect each other...

best of health to all from,

 

Rhoda, Gracie and Ginger

The Key...

Emotions run true

they get out of hand

thoughts become rapid

mind is in a swirl

To slow down one learns

block with one focus

thus, thoughts go away

brain now takes control

Learn control is hard 

time dedicated

is key to success

have faith in journey...

calm mind over comes

- Rhoda Galgiani

Spring...

 
Spring is a gentle lamb

sweet and clean to the touch

with buds that start to grow

grass a little bit greener

Spring is a beautiful time

with freshness in the air

all has been renewed again

moments not harsh it seems

Spring is a fresh start

with joy to fulfill all

days are bright and longer

dreams become reality

Spring is a breath of clean air

as she sweeps earths dust

hope is restored for all
time for new growth as we...

recall our lost visions

- Rhoda Galgiani

Shadow...

Shadow about 3 yrs. old
'Gracie and Sissy look for him everyday out the window!'

Memories of him

he strolled by each day

taking his sweet time

doing it his way

A little afraid of all 

but comfort with some

came for his food

we knew he would come

Now he is gone

for the past month or two

think he was taken in

by someone he knew

We miss our guy

Shadow is his name

beautiful handsome boy

but guess he is playing...

his own kitty game

- Rhoda Galgiani

A Question is Knowledge...

Confidence in one's ability

has its special rewards

relaxed in a situation

brings peace to the mind

Questions never hurt

they help to understand

strengthening the moment

with completion that satisfies

Knowledge is the key
many just don't take the time
to ask another opinion or
maybe they just don't want...

to look stupid ~ hmmm

- Rhoda Galgiani
