All about ME

 Is it all about YOU?

or is it All about HIM?

Are you glorifying SELF ?

or Glorifying HIMSELF ?


Hopes

 I've come to give you Hope

I've come to give you Life

I've come to give you Freedom

   OH

       BUT

Do you want it

   Do you want my Gifts

   Why do you run away

     Where will you go ?

I've Come

   I've Come

      I've waited

         and waited

To Give

   Give

      and Give

But you run away

   From ME

   The Life- Giver



Wishes

 I'll give you three wishes, the Genie said

Three wishes for you, oh don't be afraid


Bid me, oh bid me, to do what you ask

love to give wishes, For this is my task


Do you want fame and fortune, Do you want bread and wine

Do you want to have Beauty, With Princes to dine


Do you want to have pleasure, Do you want to have Love

Do you want to have friendship, Some Gifts from Above


Bid me, Oh bid me. I patiently wait

I'll wait here forever, for that is my Fate



Smiles

 A thousand Smiles

   came running

Or so it seemed

A thousand feet

   upon the grass

    or so it seemed

They're here

At last they've come

   At last

A thousand kisses

   Given then

A thousand hugs

   And more

Now...they are gone

A thousand hugs 

  Before they left

A thousand kisses

   Quick Goodbyes

But they will come 

   Again

Now ? Frowns...But

  then

A thousand Smiles



Sadness : Dedicated to Our Brother Ken who went to be with Jesus December 5, 2023

 

Today you went away
my dear Brother
You went where I cannot go...Yet !
You're not here, but
You are somewhere .. somewhere I cannot touch...yet!
Somewhere I cannot see...yet !
Today, I am sad
But, tomorrow or yet again, tomorrow
I will be glad
My dear Brother
When I see you !!!

A Storm

 A Storm started

No, it wasn't outside

it was inside

The Storm started

in Me

Oh why

can't I stay calm

when winds begin

to blow

When change of situation

When change of plans turn up ?

The Storm has started

once again

Perhaps this time

I'll learn

To let the Storm

stay Outside

To let Peace

Dwell within



A Tree

 The rustle in the Poplar

reminds me of my home

Especially when the Wind

Blows strongly like a Poem


It reminds me of my Childhood

Where love and laughter reigned

And Mom was ever present

With happiness unfeigned


Security was there , yes

a feeling of Contentment

No't would ever be remiss

Peace was always Present


The Poplar e're reminds me

of all the happy days

Living in Mom's Household

I'm thankful for that faze

Spring

 POP

    pop pop

       pop pop pop

We're out

   See us ?

       We're out

Everywhere

    You can see us

We're small

   and shiny

      and Green

BUT

  Soon

We'll be vibrant

   And Orange

and Red

   and Pink

And green

    And White

Ahhhh

SPRING



Clouds

 Mom

Look 

See those Clouds

Mom, Look

Cummulus

Cirris

Mom, Mom

Look

Look

Yes

I see

I'm Looking

At You

I'm seeing

seeing You

too. 

Seeing

How Awesome

How very awesome

YOU ARE !!



The Ocean

 Crashing  

       Raging 

           Roaring

Waves

      Higher and

          Higher

Colors

     Dark Blue

         Light Blue

            White

               Green

Winds

     Stronger and

        Stronger

           Twirling

The Ocean

     Cast

        Cast upon land

Cast

    Out of its bounds

        Destroying

            Destruction

Then:

     Calm
