A Dedication ~

My Southern Friend ~
Dedicated to Oma66 ~ Chesapeake, VA

Southern friends are a heartfelt joy,
they sweet talk every girl and boy

They’re kind and certainly aware,
always showing you that they care

Southern friends take you in their heart,
you know you’re special from the start

They invite you into their home,
looking after you so you don’t roam

I have a southern friend from years ago,
she still contacts me - she’s good to know

She lives south and I on the northern side
we still communicate though our miles are wide

with news that touched -
our long ago past

Mrs. C ~

Dedicated to My Friend ~
Frances P. Castellana, New Hyde Park, NY
Her Heart -
as large as the universe would allow it to be
Her Voice -
as soft as the springtime blossoms upon the tree
Her Eyes -
as clear as the bluest sky as she looked at me
Her Soul -
as pure as God’s hand as He gently touched thee

Her Glory - touch my heart forever ~

Surround a Lonely Heart...

Dedicated to My Friend & Neighbor ~
Walter "Joe" Otto, Long Island, NY

Diamonds created from an uncut stone
buried within the earth’s surface,
once found they are cut and shaped
with facets of purity

Rare is the Diamond that sparkles
with a magnitude of brilliance,
catches a sad eye for clarity
with hues that glow - blinding

Diamonds fill the heart - the purest
of love is given as the soul surrounds
its glowing depth bringing a moment
of silence to the heart that feels

Rare is the substance that one takes
for granted, purity and love may be
shared as the Diamond opens a heart
to the facets of life as

gifts of love -
surround the lonely heart

Follow me kid, I'll show you the ropes...

She Comes Home Sassy and Bold ~

A season of white upon us
taking away the Sun's bright glow
shuffling her drifts into banks
of pure white driven snow
      Feet travel on her icy path
slipping as they glide to and fro
careful steps the foot beyond another
praying to get where they yearn to go

Inches of snowflakes grow
piling millions a top one another
forming hills of cold that pushes
Spring away altogether

Chills upon thy breast
causes deep cold within thy soul
as one kneels in prayer asking
the season that brings us such cold

to quickly pass -
for she comes home
sassy and bold

Long Island, NY   - Rhoda Galgiani

I Was Never Promised a Tomorrow...

Viewing the beauty of the world,
I choose not to see the dark mask
that covers His creations

Ears hearing the echoes around me,
footsteps from movement of those
who walk the home where I live

Grasping the guidance that my God
gave to me – I cherish it for today,
knowing within my soul

I was never promised -
a tomorrow

Happy Birthday Emma ~ 15!

“Granddaughter”

The birth of a child is
God’s blessing,
to those who have been
longing for you

Gloriously He created you,
the precious child,
showing us again,
His mystery of miracles

Giving you a loving heart,
He filled it with
sweetness and charm
Your delicate smile glows
and lights up the darkest night

God gave you love
and with that love,
you bring happiness and joy
to all you tenderly touch

You are the sparkle in life
that has been missing,
for so many of us
Your halo of innocence’s
surrounds the waiting world
showing us hope and direction
For you precious child,
are the future of us all

Mother Nature Smiles ~

Snow, she comes again
with a cold wind
wrapping a chill
around whatever, whoever
stands within her path

Flakes of crystal design
covering, hiding, burying all
is her sole desire - she is a storm
created of fury that displays a
winter wonderland

Degrees over time drop as
snowflakes lay themselves down,
covering with a blanket of white
burying the existing floor
that is our earth’s foundation

Upon passing, the glorious sun
speaks to us revealing to our
weakened weathered state,
she has come and gone again
for another day –

as Mother Nature smiles

Through You, I Survived ~

Dedicated to ~ Gracie 2 Years Old

How could your soul not love me?
My grace fulfills my name
for I came to your loving arms,
for warmth and care to ease my pain

How could your ears not clearly hear?
The love as my feline breath purrs
or feel the joy when you hold me,
close to your love that cures

How could you not feel in your heart?
Knowing He brought me safely to your home
a heart that completed my chosen fate,
with you my desire does not want to roam -

through you, I survived

Within the Fury ~

Dedicated to Rep. Gabby Giffords
and the Innocent Souls who were injured, shot and
killed during their moment of Freedom of Speech in America...

Hearts cry for a sudden useless loss
asking how and why this can happen
to the innocents of the bystander
gazing in the warmth of the sun

Minds bewildered by the sudden attack
against those who are unassuming
those who not yet caught the image
within the fury of the finger that is cocked

Numerous names shall parish in the dryness of
dust as violence cast its shadow within the
crosshairs of the evil sight taking away those
who are not aware of the forthcoming dangers

Again, the sudden violence is on our tongues
as we consume the events of the hellish day that
brought death and destruction in the heated sun
of our countries neighbor of a south western origin –

Again, we question these untimely deaths as the
world continues with its insane madness

Friday -

Snowflakes like silver dollars
fall from the sky
not asking why

They glide with ease
landing where they please
just because -

God wants them to!

Forever a Fortnight ~

A day of well, as it surely should be
for the beginning of a new year
showers sunbeams as promised
that touches the face of a day dried tear

Thoughts of yesterday filled with ‘I should’
only to be words spoken of self yearnings,
as one thinks of tomorrow with ‘I will’
that brings to life new twists and turnings

Time sped on as one lingered in life
feeling youth shall remain forever a fortnight,
young minded dreams are created for a lifetime
to fulfill a destiny that is a soul given right

Taunted with age, lines of wisdom on a brow
brings reality half of thee is buried to stay,
dreams of goals not completed today and
time for completion has gone away –

as the looking glass reveals its
long ago display of youthful dreams

Happy Birthday, Jesus~

In the silence of the night
He comes to us, bringing
us heavenly love and
warmth within His touch

As we accept His gift and
cherished love that surrounds us
we gives thanks to Him for He
brought His Son to us on this day

Our hearts receive the purity of His
light that shines upon a new born
in the hay, the light captures our
souls bringing us understanding

Remembering Baby Jesus on this
day we give thanks to you Father for
your blessings and our gift of life as
we bow our heads to Your Son Jesus –

Freedom Flight ~

Her solo flight was swift as
she climbed to the heavens height
above the shadows of the clouds
in the sunlight of her dreams

Gliding with sharp precision she
carefully pauses her movement to grasp
what is surrounding her massive wing span
savoring for just a moment the universal pleasures

This journey she must endure the elements of
a long flight ignoring the sting of the wind the
pressure that touches the tips of her power
giving her the strength to carry on

She calls to a fading light knowing
her day is to end, it is time for her weakened
body to rest for endurance is needed to continue her
sought out journey, for her choice is to capture freedom -

from a lost world of confinements

My Heart Hears Her Song...

Something touched my heart,
a new pulse I do not know -
sensations from deep within,
visions circling my head,
new challenges I must win…

Something touched my heart,
a strange feeling inside -
warmth from a familiar soul,
suddenly filling my mind,
taking me to a new goal…

Something touched my heart,
a poem within a song -
sung with emotion and grace
words penetrating deep inside
spoken from a familiar face…

my heart hears her song

Dedicated to Melissa Etheridge
(I exercise to her music - my new goal)

His Heart is That of a Fearless Lion ~

Humans hear his thunder, they hear his roar
as the paws of the King cover his territory
taking it upon him self to protect, to guard
the existence of their wilderness world

Known for his mighty majestic mane
his power as he leaps towards what
calls to him, his keen eye that searches
the prairie for what shall sustain him

For a moment his will take a pause
to regain his momentum, to renew
his strength to continue on with
the life that was given to his spirit

As he lifts his head his heart is full
knowing his domain is safe from all
that brings him harm, safe from humans,
the hunters who search for his hide –

Search they will, but he has
outsmarted them again as he moves along
the well traveled trails, as he hides in the bush
and thicket that protects himself and his cubs

his heart is that of a fearless Lion

The Santa Cruz Pier -

  Misty sea water swirls against the dock pillars
as if to say ‘wake up and hear my song",
whispering movement continuing the day
longing not to sleep amongst the pier’s wall

Memories of events for those who traveled
the shores path lingering to grasp the vision,
wondering if one shall return to this wonderment
of peace and the serenity of an ocean’s love

Feeling the moist air current around one’s soul
as scents of pureness penetrates the lining of
one’s stride, walking aimlessly to and fro hearing
the click of one’s heel against time pasted on

The Boardwalk that cradles the ocean calls to me
as memories of a long ago childhood comes to light,
smelling cotton candy, the search for discarded seashells
once buried in sand castles that return to the sea –

as I gaze at the Santa Cruz Pier   - Rhoda Galgiani

I Found Your Cat...

Z's Human Embrace...

His eyes show humility as
he searches the surroundings,
his instinct is to hide for that
is all this creature has known

Caged for six years by an inhuman
by one who does not know his warm
beating heart, his mind nor his soul –
yes, God created him with a canine soul

Discovered by one who will love him,
bringing to him freedom of exploration,
his captive visions photographed from his
cold metal encasement - he called home

Today, he is learning slowly what life is
all about as he romps and plays discovering
the love and touch - of human embrace,
from a human that saved his canine heart -

the human named him Z   - Rhoda Galgiani

I Shall Adore...

Sweetness fills the air
for those who take a moment
to breathe in its fragrance

Visions of beauty grasps
those eyes who take a moment
to see the worlds wonders

Memories are embedded
in the mind who take a moment
to savor His creations, His work

Here is my moment –
that I shall adore

Etched Glass of Symbols

Magic swirls within the view of one's eye
as delicate ribbons twist and turn elegantly,
eyes that seek truth above and beyond the filters
beyond the camouflage, beyond their hidden hues

Mysteries engulf the mind as the waves send
messages fulfilling the desires of the invader,
penetrating the private hollows of the hidden
as brilliant mental images lost - rise

Mentally saturated by images of depth
showered by the invasion of a brains space,
our electric vision overtakes their moments
creating our own etched glass of symbols

May we question, what we have seen
as we intrude upon another souls mind,
hidden secrets or shallowly hidden grief?
No I say, hidden glory of life that is to be –

as an invasive mind is silenced

Within Their Soul

The morning air glides with purity
as the sun glistens over the horizon
that brightens the morning dawn,
travels a new joy to a saddened heart
as sorrow is whisked away non to linger

Dawn brings a new beginning
just as the rain washes away
all the litter of the uncaring individual,
who walks her natural created paths
she brings love to the one who loves her

Serenity gently guides one upon their way
to a freedom and peace created for them
showing a way to golden sunlight,
to a dimension of a gentle forever
etching a memory of what shall be…

within their soul

From Heaven's Door...

Rain, water that flows from Heaven’s door -
washes all surfaces clean, renewing
visual purity for the hand that created the
substances we enjoy each and every day

Rain, water that flows from Heaven’s door -
blessed rewards to thirsty creations
who long for the nourishment, needed to complete
their circle of life, complete their growth promised

Rain, water that flows from Heaven’s door -
violent at times, combined with a light force
and heard by all as the crack of the mighty thunder
startles and makes us shutter with fear of an unknown

Rain, water that flows from Heaven’s door -
gentle at times as it mists the wildflower on the hills, fills
the river to nourish the living creatures within her banks,
baths the valley to bring drink to the wildlife it house

for mankind

Angel's Hues

One is reminded as the days pass by
of blessings that descend from the sky

As multiple colors from a solitary beam
catching your eye with its glorious gleam

Taking you within its massive glow
whispers to soften your saddened woe

As love within your starlit heart
guides your life’s path from the start

Passionately, feel love for me and all
moments before you might take a fall

Into a rainbow created just for you
cradles your heart to capture angel’s hues -

in His world of love

Just for a Moment ~ Wolf Endangered

Just for a moment the wolf pauses
escaping the hunt of the hunted,
seconds of solitary comfort
a moment to recover, to breathe
a normal breath of freedom

Whisking away the movements
of nature from his brow, taking
time to clean the paws that have
traveled miles, running from man,
running, from what might
catch him – Extinction


Hearing the sounds circling his head,
tempting him to move closer in their
direction, his mind wanders back
to the seconds he has as his body
feels the coolness from the ground

A moment longer his wolf heart cries,
just for a moments peace, not caring who
or what surrounds him, not concerned
as harm inches silently to his side,
not caring just for a moment as -

he continues to survive them,
as man aims once again

Three Little Kittens Bundled Up Going to New Foster Home -
"I was becoming attached to the Kittens. Each one had a personality and soon I could tell who was doing what. I refrained from naming them - they were just No. 1, 2, & 3.

Then, Sheena4s came to the rescue - she phoned her friend Michelle, who in turn spoke to the vet and they agreed to foster them until they could be homed. Apparently they do this all the time. The vet will inspect them tomorrow.

Sadly for me (and happily for them) Michelle and Nikki arrived with a travel container and medicine and they inspected them to see if they had any obvious health problems.

This story has a happy ending, thanks to SparkFriend Sheena4s, the Angels, Nikki and Michelle and the vet, Zoe."

"Mwah! I love you girls!"

Three Little Kittens ~ Africa

Three little
Kittens saved
by the Grace
of God as He
directed one
down the
road to their
discovery!
Bubble, Mona Lisa and Squeak

"I spotted a green VW Kombi on the side of the road, in the middle of nowhere and a young man carrying a small box into the veldt.

I passed the car and kept watching him in the rearview mirror. I said to Beloved, "That guy's dumping something living in the veldt." I kept on driving until I could turn back and returned to the spot where I saw the man. I got out and searched in the tall grass and then I found it - the box the guy carried!

Three tiny kittens just dumped like rubbish with no food or water and no means of surviving on their own. I grabbed the box, checked to see if none escaped and took the kittens about 2km down the road to FORA (a no-kill shelter).

The shelter could not take them as they had a nasty virus killing their cats and they asked me to hold on to them until we can make alternative arrangements."

Mr. Max...

A Purr-fect Moment

He held his hand out
this stranger in the night
calling to me, come little lady,
come let me hold you tight

My eyes quickly shifted away
trying not to look or stare
I acted nonchalantly
so he wouldn’t be aware

Interest grew as clock hands ticked
I knew I was drawn to him
for when he gently touched me
his tongue gave me a quick lick

This moment was destined to be ours
as he cuddled and stroked me
on a cool spring night in May
he captured my heart beneath the stars

A chill crept upon my neck
for I knew I must go
he looked into my eye
as I called to him

Come Max lets go inside
as he purrs to me
with his sweet kitty sigh
never questioning me as to why -

A Miniature Kind of Love ~

Spring you came to me
a budding miniature rose bush
with a deep red hue that holds
dewdrops between her petals

Summer days you brought to me
your natural radiant beauty
that showered me with delicate buds
bringing me happiness for days

Autumn has come and to my
surprise you came one last time
a single miniature rose bud for me
to entwine with grateful joy

Winter snows shall put you to
sleep resting safely until the
following spring and then you
will peek up through the soil -

bringing me happiness from your
miniature kind of love

Just for a Moment ~

I think of you and our days gone by
ever so often with a wandering sigh,
heavy heart I carry today within
as dreams of you come now and again

Where has the time gone, where has it been
looking in the mirror, I see deeply within,
my mind is young as I remember us when
time together seems so long ago, then

My time with you is deep in my heart
memories how I loved you from the start,
thinking our time would forever hold
not being without you as I grew old

Time is my enemy, I cry please stand still
dreaming to go back to a love that was real,
reality grabs me, shakes me to my moment now
reminds me again how I singularity take my bow

It is well and good my memories hide in my mind
as I close the door to the thoughts of that time,
but, today I remember that evening of August joy
as we came together, a young girl and boy –

just for a moment...
I am thinking of you today

A Pondering Thought ~

Photo ~ 1930 Sam Hood

Love, where has it been,
buried down inside, deep within

Slowly, it comes to feel again,
as faith surrounds life to begin

Trust, where has it been,
taken away it shall come within

Slowly, it comes to believe again,
as hope and love long to begin –

Our Animal Friends...

Loving an animal whether large or small
fills one heart whether short or tall

Without their love where would we be
no one to hold close or tenderly

When sad they give you a kiss or two
when happy they play bringing joy to you

Where would we be without their love
blessings to us from Him above…

Smitten with a Kitten ~

The watercolor of a
a small white kitten,
muted colors painted,
as if one were smitten.

Palest of colorful hues
displayed on canvas mat,
a newborn kitten preciously
delivered by its Mother cat.

Beautiful painting found
in a thrift shop alone,
please dear lady buy me,
giving me a home.

Falling in love with this
watercolor portrait so rare,
for it broke my heart as it
seemed no one did care…

about a small white kitten
who was left in despair.

Gracie’s Cradle of Love ~

Gracie - 4 Months Old

Sickness rings from your soul
as you fill with stifling staleness
lingering, pressures your breath
calling me to nurturer you as He
brings you to a home of safety

Peace comes to thee quickly
again your strength is protected,
again your will to survive as a
special feline halo casts a glow of
triumph that cast out the evil serpents

Together we shall overcome the
foggy shadows that linger within
thy breast for it was written that
you would be given all that you
deserve, for you have been chosen

And I, chosen to fulfill His desire
bringing you to a haven of wellness,
bringing you to everlasting warmth
from His loving arms to mine as
I hold you dear in your -

Black Ink ~

Scratching words on paper
as fast as the pen will glide,
capturing a visual on the page
everyone now can see inside -

Walls of a black ink quill
words hidden deep as one tries to hide,
gasps for air from a liquid death
deep within the other side -

Exposed now to fired sunlight
masked with purity words do flow,
as consumed fantasies now remain
hidden lifestyles in a world of woe -

Life goes this way from dusk to dawn
lone poet plays his words with rhythm and song,
subsiding vapors depart from the soul
crushes life from choking, that held to long -

as black ink kills the inspired poet

Janet and Me!

So many years ago I met you online,
and you became a special friend of mine

We chatted, we laughed and sometimes we cried,
becoming friends knowing we were special inside

The place where we met was a game site online,
a place called Pogo; we would meet nightly to unwind

Such fun we had getting to know one another too,
a wonderful friendship with others and yes - me and you

Years have passed and our friendship is strong,
through trust and love we have shared all along

Feelings about Kids and our little Grey Kitties,
about the games and farms, I laugh getting all gitty

Although I live in NY and you AL grown girl,
the miles don’t seem to matter as we give life a whirl

So my friend, I post your picture for all to see
what a beautiful blessed friendship we have –

you and me!
Dedicated to a dear friend - Janet Thompson, AL

A New Me ~

L ife is strange with its ups and downs
I nviting you to experience its whimsical crowns,
V enturing into water traps so deep
E nticing, capturing you ‘til you weep

L earning lessons from a school room book
A nswering with innocents and a childish look,
U rging your heart to take a chance
G uiding your spirit without a second glance,
H iding in a corner you leap from your stance

L istening to the wind song of your heart
O verly cautious, but it’s a grand start,
V oicing with glee your freedom anew
E njoy life with what is instilled in you –

a new me

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…

As I sit here penning this little ditty,
My desk is full of sprawling kitty!
This dear old inscrutable friend of mine;
I hope he has many more lives than nine!

He's just an ordinary striped ginger cat,
So fiesty, independent and fat.
His lack of noble lineage doesn't bother me;
I doubt that he's concerned about pedigree!

He has given me so much pleasure,
Even tho' he's mutilated some treasure!
What an elegant and enchanting pet.
I haven't found his contender yet!

He doesn't ask all that much of me,
Just some food and affection periodically.
I scratch his ears, stroke his fur smooth;
He in turn provides me with purring to soothe!

Maybe there are more exotic pets than a cat,
I will most certainly grant you that,
But when it comes to the bottom line,
No more noble creature did God design!

Tabby Keeping Cool Under a Doggie Umbrella!

Heat Wave

I can’t get over it
Last summer was so mild
But now the Gods are making up for it
“Suffer ye sinners!” they say

Aside from the obvious - Sweat
A slight loss of appetite
Listlessness
Reluctance to rise
A sudden genius for not-working
excuses I notice it in my cat

“My God!” I holler to my wife.
“I think Tabby is dead.”
Tabby lay on the living room floor
stretched out full-length
“She doesn’t even move
when I call her name –

Tabby! Tabby!
My God! Tabby!”

I’m wringing my hands.
Do I dare touch her?
Do I really want to
confirm my worst fear?

But I do…

I touch her. That soft hot fur
I can’t detect any breathing
Tears are starting to well

Then -

Just a faint twitch of her tail
She rises suddenly
Walks slowly off
Quite annoyed
As though to say –

“Why the hell you have to touch me man?
Why you wanta bother me?
Don’t you know that the best thing
a long-hair kitty can do
in this heat is SLEEP!”

Who Me???

NO, I HAVE NOT SEEN YOUR LIPSTICK!

Why would you even ask me that? I'm insulted!
Every time something goes missing around here,
everybody looks at me!!! For your information,
I don't even wear that shade. It doesn't flatter
my complexion and it tastes terrible!

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

My Sweet Chaise

I look in your eyes seeing love you share,
as you came to me with loving care

Your purpose was clear right from the start,
you were sent to mend my broken heart

How can I tell you how grateful I am,
did I take a moment so you could understand?

My heart cried years ago with the loss of my Son,
God brought you to me for He knew you were the one

I weep again dreaming of your face of love,
as you wait for me in His heaven above -


my sweet Chaise

Music of the Sun ~

A spiral wave descends,
notes of musical rapture
dances within the wind,
creates an unclouded
moment of peace’s solitude,
a moment of given grace

Eyes that glitter and shine,
as sparkles of sunlight
touch my inner mind,
flourishing
a musical fanfare,
that vigorously peaks

Entanglement
captures my body again,
twirling, spinning
me around with an
uplifting dance of
pure pleasure delight

Music of the Sun
enhanced my rhythm
as it contains me,
bringing a
sensation of joy
sensation of love –

from His promised world

Love Opens ~

Love opens the door to one’s heart
if one is brave enough to let it in

One doesn’t know how lonely they are as feelings were suppressed for years on end


Afraid to open their eyes so they may see
blocked the sunlight darkening deep within

Learn how to live accept love’s gift
Taking a chance on emotions again

Ascend life to higher rainbow peak
Love can cure detained sadness within

One must be ready to take a chance
to complete a cycle determined by Him –

for love is the answer He has sent

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
