Rural Thoughts
Shadows deep
Hold secrets swarming
Within an untold mind
Reach for aspens
Painted on portraits
Viewed by the
Leaping
sun

Snow Kitty...
Snow
Pure white
Shinning so
bright
Frozen ice
from the sky
Snowflakes are born from the cold snow
Sparkles
shine each piece carries a glow
Frozen ice
from the sky
Cold snow ice
angels are silently spun
Frisky are
kitties playing as they run
Frozen ice
from the sky
Love warms heart
Winter pens

A Winter's Moon
A winter’s moon touches
the clouded sky
never giving thought as
to how and why
brings eerie filtered light
to darkened trees
creates wandering paths
with gentle breeze
Lines of a face
seemingly tired and old
moons imprint reveal
tales it can be told
years of moonlight
shines down on earth
captures history that hide
a tales worth
Streaming yarns of
decades and their glories
the man in the moon
records their stories
never forgets who
created it all
forming a structure so no
one would fall
the cold winter's moon
sits high in the sky
never giving thought as
to how and why

The Face of My Father
I saw His face when I was young
not knowing
who or where he was from
for His
glorious name was not said to me
somehow
faith escaped my family
oh, not
because of disrespect to Him but,
because of lack of spiritual harmony
I saw His
face as I grew older
connected
with prayer and church
as people
spoke of Him and said His
name
sometimes in a praying whisper
oh, not
because of hidden shame but,
because of faithful love for His name
I saw His
face one day as He
came my way
showing me His
love as
I started to pray coming
to my
heart telling me He would stay
oh, not
because of my guilt or fear but,
because He loves me so very dear…
the face of
my Father

On My Way
You bring calm to me
and others with your
laid back personality
bringing an assurance
all today is well
all today is well
A smile that welcomes
a hello inviting one in
when one may feel low
your charm and likeable
smile turns things
around
as trust renews one’s
faith
One walks a little
taller
on their way for today
is a delight knowing
you
one shall return again
coming to hear your say
-
how are you today?
and we say just fine!

Moments in Time
Long ago,
there stood a moment in time
that we
shall all remember knowing
a moment
shall come around again
Moments of
laughter, of joyous times
with one
another as the children played
we all came
together - as one
Younger
days, growing and longing as
we dreamed
of life that shall be laid out
before us -
our destiny - our fate
Memories of
friends sharing thoughts of
our new homes
around us, the planting of
seeds that grew
and nurtured our families
Knowing deep
in our hearts, we shall
come around
again as we passed
through our
own moments of time -
we remember
those along the way

Me! and Maxine...
Gently felt His touch this day
as I busily go on my way
grocery errands quickly to run
outside I feel His warm strong sun
Brightness filling a noonday rhyme
taking one along quickly in time
shopping needs to be swiftly done
caring for oneself - being one
Happiness fills this single heart
He guides my life from the start
need not to worry, fret or frown
never going to let life get down -
on me!

Dr. Shapiro Smiles...
Illusions
Dedicated
to Dr. David Shapiro
Dreams within
the darkened night
Brings
illusions to the mind
Black
figure comes into flight
Confuse and
silently blind
Peaceful
sleep converts to fear
As one dreams
are suddenly woke
Sees an
illusion that isn’t clear
Image appears,
but has not spoke
‘Who are you?’ one calls with a frightful plea
A whisk of
the hand vision disappears
Quick as image
came it suddenly does flee
Mind becomes
clear wipes away sleepy tears
Awhile now images
have abruptly appeared
But, the
terror they cause tend to decrease
For the
illusion is a vision no longer feared
Writing
about them, gives one found peace

This poem is dedicated to my Chiropractor -
I was telling him how I was having illusions, I
believe from my diabetic meds and he said
'that would be a great subject to write about'
so I did! I presented him with a dedicated framed
copy on Monday at his office. See picture!!! rg

Cute little nose a

A Winter's Sleep
Chill
within the night air brings frost
Beauty in
sight withers and dies
Winter came
again all is lost
Whispering
Pines say their goodbyes
Snow crystals
form on frozen ground
Protects
the seeds as they sleep sound
Blankets foliage buried below
Blankets foliage buried below
From
winter’s wonderland of snow

My Son John...
Today is a day that
touches my heart
I remember a birth
as you came to
me
Although you are gone
from your Mother’s
touch
your spirit is always near for
My Son, I do know your
heart
I still shed my saddened tears
because you're not here in body
but, these are my own private
moments of
grief for a Mother
never accepts in her heart
never accepts in her heart
any reason why her child
has left her side…
I love you, Johnny
Happy Birthday from Mom

A Special Blessing from NC...
A Requiem Blessing for Cheri Rae Christenson
A Daughter, Sister, Mother, Aunt, Grandmother and Friend....
Tie Cheri's favorite
colors of ribbons in a tree…
Let the winds carry your thoughts to her
Let the winds carry your thoughts to her
A Blessing for Cheri
If any time be sacred, it is Now.
If any place be Holy, it is this Place.
If any place be Holy, it is this Place.
Cheri had a purpose and she accomplished much…
She pushed the limits and fought for her right
to see new life brought forth.
May we remember her as the vibrant woman she
is
When we look at her children and Grandbaby
May we show her our hearts…and she...is in
ours...
Never farther than a thought…
Cheri, you came and touched so many hearts
In so many different ways.
You gave so much, and asked very little in return.
There is an emptiness as if a part of us is missing,
But we are sure with time you will show us how to be whole again.
We know you are safe now, and nothing can harm you.
Remember, although we're apart,
We will always be together…
In so many different ways.
You gave so much, and asked very little in return.
There is an emptiness as if a part of us is missing,
But we are sure with time you will show us how to be whole again.
We know you are safe now, and nothing can harm you.
Remember, although we're apart,
We will always be together…
BÃodh sé amhlaidh! Pronounced:
BEE-O-shay-Am-lee (Welsh)
A Blessing for the Family
May you know that you are all thought
of...dearly.
May all you do…reflect the joy of light…
That Cheri gave to each of you.
Know that she is closer than a whisper on a
soft breeze…
And the laughter of a babbling brook…
And the caress of the winds.
As long as Cheri is in your hearts…
She will always be...remembered…
And loved…
Brightest Blessings to you and yours…
BÃodh sé amhlaidh! Pronounced: BEE-O-shay-Am-lee (Welsh)
Our Deepest Sympathy...
~ Dena and Peter
My heart and family thank you both for these blessings...rg
