Family Reunion
Time shared, love exchanged
Bonding moments, reminiscing
Sibling rivalry, long forgotten
Roots run deep, forever loved
Infinite Wisdom
Infinite wisdom, time and space
Concepts man cannot embrace
Spirits and guides, to you implore
Follow, trust with them explore
Faith in the vastness sight unseen
Purpose, path, what does it mean?
Miracles happen every day
Inward turn, you’ll find your way.
Lost Valentine
I walk the beach, our favored spot
Searching for my love.
Pink puffs on blue, sun bursting through
Hopes are riding high
Be this the day I see his face
Finding his way back
To hearth and home, his family
Awaiting safe return?
I see a man. He’s coming near
Bursting is my heart
The gait is wrong, the build not his
Smashed to smithereens
The gulls are screaming, “Silly girl.
Spirits walk with God.
You look for him, but cannot see.
Open up your mind.”
“A special date, a butterfly,
Feathers, pennies find
A rainbow stretched across the sky
Messages of love.”
Get, Rejoice, Contribute!
Holidays, depressed once more
Wallow in self-pity
Humankind is happier
Life for me a struggle
Ego taunts. “Poor me,” it cries.
Stifling heart and logic
Spirit softly whispers love
“Precious being, holy.”
Spirits linking infinite
Time and space forgotten
Ancestors, angelic aides
Blessings freely given
Look around for gifts abound
Sunlight, trees and flowers
Creatures made by God’s own hand
Each unique and custom
Lift your heart by giving thanks
Ego kicked to gutter
Share what’s yours with fellowman
Get, rejoice, contribute!
Do You Know a Soul?
Do you know a soul
Who sucks the life from you,
Whose selfish temperament
Drains all the strength you have?
Do you know a soul
Compassionate and strong
And generous with all
An Angel sent from God?
Do you know a soul
Whose angry eyes are dark
Who only wants to harm
All creatures in his way?
Do you know a soul
Whose heart is good but lost
Can’t find his way from dark
To see the lighted path?
Do you know a soul
Who needs your precious words?
The truth is plain to see
Each spirit needs your prayer.
Do you know a soul
Who needs your helping hand?
Give freely if you can
We all come from the One!
The Rose
Fragrant rose stands alone
Protected by her thorns
Facing winds, pests, disease
Surrounded by her peers
By herself in a group
She meets her fate head on
Knowing that all blooms fade
Her time is limited
Bud to bloom, path is set
Each petal will unfold
Sharing joy, beauty’s gift
Revealing what’s inside
We’re unique, talented
Our mission is to use
What we have, who we are
To help our fellow man
More Than Not
Gratitude that opens doors
To greater gifts abound
Open heart appreciates
With humble hands gives praise
What you have is more than not
Enough for you to share
Break the bread to pass around
For more will come your way
Care for others, rich and poor
Their crosses they must bear
Kindness, love and gratitude
Are gifts we all can give
Happiness is from within
The joy of feeling blessed
Thankful for the birds that sing
When challenged by life’s test
What you have is more than not
With humble hands give praise
Happiness is from within
The joy of feeling blessed
