His Open Door...

Within one's eye

light will be seen

with visions of cure

pain only in between

Long time to come
the world is at woe
people still are hurt
with no where to go

Faith in one's heart

has to remain

for without it one 

will not be the same

Will say prayers

and speak to Him for

trust is the only way

to His open door

- Rhoda Galgiani

Messed Up Kitty Food Order!

Help comes along the way

when questions being asked

about order not complete

all's settled with me at last

Automation is great

moves one along real fast

one, two, three order is placed

all one has to do is ask

Mistakes are made

fingers hit wrong key

little patience is all it takes

to satisfy one with glee

So kitty food is ordered

mistake now correct

order will come tomorrow

Walmart is super...

glad I had them on select!

- Rhoda Galgiani

Summer Rain...

Thunder roared 

above thy head

lightening strikes

fear has spread

Bits of rain

comes now and then

drops quickly roll

when will it end

Grass is greener

rain covers all

freshness glows

does not want fall

Trees drink with thirst

raindrops refresh

wonderful summer

now cares for the rest

- Rhoda Galgiani

New Beginnings II...

Many a word has come to rest

from a place of sleep upon the breast

lying dormant words longed to rise

wipe away doubt from ones confused eyes

A gentle spirit touched ones lips

as if to say, the heart will now slip

onto a woven path, that guides one true

time has come life changes are now due

One step at a time to learn a new role

gain a new friend is a reaching goal

for life has come around once again

take it slow stop wondering when...

for new beginnings will rise

- Rhoda Galgiani

The Wind ~ haiku

moment of glory

trust within worrisome mind 

breath natures pure gift

His Love...

God touched me

as He touched you

His love is graceful

you feel it too

Blessings are there

daily they come

open our hearts

feel every one

Happy our thoughts

heightens our love

blessings we carry

He sent from above

Don't turn away
come learn His ways
carry them with you
throughout your days

- Rhoda Galgiani

Change...

As the world changes

I will change too

As unknown comes

I will learn new ways

As day carries frowns

I will always smile

Change is difficult

living disrupted

Change is strange

living thoughts rearranged

Change is uncertain

living safe is now gone

Reality is now here

must go with the flow

Reality changes all

must walk a new path

Reality is rough

must hope for calm...

in a world of uncertainty

- Rhoda Galgiani

Nature - haiku

sun brightens new day

hope is in the rays of life

nature cleans her air

Become Whole Again...

Peaceful meadow filled with buds of beauty

dance in the wind that spreads colorful waves

to all who fill their hearts with gentle love

smiles wipe the frowns as serenity comes

Twisted minds are calmed just for a moment

allows destined light to a despoil path

peaceful calm listened to one’s lonely heart

light upon one’s eyes show pathway ahead

Footsteps in one’s stride directly broadened

one’s path become visual and ready

new direction, new thoughts, new horizon

rejects fear continues directed walk

Minds confusion calmed as the light prevailed

faith overtakes the weakened structures state

trust gained as stable foot carries the body

confidence takes shaken will of despair -

as one becomes whole again in their heart

- Rhoda Galgiani

Patience is the Key...

Time moves on

across the land its the same

daily chores remain

movement slowly drifts

Life has changed

nothing is the same

we all took it for granted

now realize life is short

Patience will help us through

as visions come to sight

life goes in different directions

peacefulness now in uproar

What will happen

when will it all change

we must have patience

we all must learn...

how to live again

- Rhoda Galgiani

Together in Prayer...

Together We Will Survive

You know that

I love you

and the world

loves you too

With light in

your eyes

we see only

glorious you

Daily promise comes

to us in our heart

gives me hope for the

world now to start

Together we will

overcome in time

with you and me
it takes a rhyme...

together
we will shall win

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!

Happy Mother's Day

Hugs from,

Rhoda, Gracie and Sissy

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
