From the Heart
Give thanks for
Who you are,
What you have
From the Heart
Give help to
Hungry, poor
Tired, ill
From the heart
Share time with
Loved ones, friends
Volunteer
From the heart
Spread kindness
Smiles, respect
Empathy
From the Heart
Connected we
Woven threads
Joy and peace
From my heart
Through the Veil
Messages from those beyond
Shunned in disbelief
Man rejects unseen attempts
Comprehend cannot
Spirits made of energy
Not of solid mass
Subtle twinges unexplained
Love from nearby realm
Feathers, pennies, dragonflies
Birds, the love they bring
Open heart and mind receive
Songs through veil they sing
Crossing Bridges
Gentle spirits hover close
Giving guidance
Feathers, pennies, butterflies
Signs from loved ones
Comprehending, understand
Catch the meaning?
Foggy, fuzzy, message be
Earthly limits
Gifted wonder, medium
Communicates
Souls who crossed behind the veil
Sharing wisdom
Love eternal, never dies
Crossing bridges
Living life with clarity
Thank you, helpers
He Is There
Dad provides the worldly needs
Sits silently aside
Stalwart in his outward pose
Fights demons of his own
Leader of the family
Advisor, loving man
Mentor, coach, defender waits
To mend a broken heart
Wiping tears, encouraging
His child’s growth support
Proud of the accomplishments
Arms out to catch the falls
Father in the sense that’s true
Means more than DNA
Dance recitals, soccer games
Wherever, he is there!
I Am You
Why does man divisive be
When all are God’s creations?
Image, likeness shared by all
Wrapped, unique, a gift to give.
Colors of a rainbow mixed
Each displaying human form
Like a field of flowers wild
Purpose, beauty, journey owned.
Ego drives the wedge between
Fear replaces love and trust
Drop the walls, extend a hand
Diversity enriches.
Hate destroys, devours man
Choose the path to harmony
Live in peace with fellowman
Source descended, I am you.
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.”
Star Upon The Tree
I set the star upon the tree
A special place on top
Reminder of past Christmases
I spent with my life’s love
Did I appreciate those days
While running to and fro
Or did I miss the best of times
Wrapped up in Christmas rush?
The baking, cooking, trim the tree,
Will all of it be done
Before the family arrives
For dinner Christmas eve
We’d stay up late to build the toys
Exhausted, went to bed
Excited boys would wake by five
To see what Santa left
I cannot travel back in time
To capture what was lost
My photos of past holidays
Forever warm my heart
That special star upon the tree
Burns brighter from above
His spirit lives forever more
In everlasting love
Surviving Loss
Stand tall to do it all
Accepting help with grace
The sense of loss will fade
The healing’s not a race
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Reach out to those in need
Give all that you can spare
Your heart will fill with love
While showing that you care
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Be good to you! Sing! Dance!
In time the joy returns
Your world will right itself
As everyone learns
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Enjoy each day with thanks
A gift is what it’s called
From up above it comes
Stand tall to do it all
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ten Fingers, Ten Toes
Ten little fingers, ten tiny toes
Delicate lashes, two eyelids closed
Bundle wrapped tightly, snuggled to Mom
God’s gift, a wonder, miracle born
A soul enters Earth, parents to guide
Journey, learning, a lifetime of growth
Mother obsessing, teaching with love
Babe grabs her heart, never to part
Adulthood arrives, a man departs
With roots and wings gifted from home
Fly away, son, and make your own way
You know that I love you forever
Ten little fingers, ten tiny toes
Delicate lashes, two eyelids closed
Bundle wrapped tightly, snuggled to me
Thanks for two gifts, for I am called MOM
