Cross to Bear
What cross is that you bear,
The one you chose at incarnation
To grow, to learn, to raise
Your place in heaven’s realm?
I know not what that is
Eternity awaits completion
Persist, sustain, excel
At Home rewards are yours.
I am Me
“Make good choices,”
Wise man said.
“What you do is
On your head.”
Blame not others
For your act
Own decisions
Write a pact
“Who I am, I
Choose to be
Good or bad, I
Must be me.”
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.
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.”
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
Human Condition
Struggle through the birth canal
The baby fights for life
Tiny lungs that gasp for air
A slap across the butt
Pattern set for human life
It’s cruel and cold sometimes
Fraught with tests and challenges
To teach life’s lessons best
Question not when things are good
Enjoy the respite time
Love will keep your spirit whole
Resilient, strong, inspired
Time to leave will come with death
For most another fight
Struggle through the veil to light
Cross over, job well done!
Inner Voice
Twisted moments, fleeting dreams
Confusion, fractured thinking
Make a change or stay the course
Decisions weighing heavy
Seeking wisdom I must have
To excavate God’s message
Light one step before I fall
Or give me wings for flying
Life’s a crap shoot, nothing’s sure
Endure on Faith all blindly
Listen to the inner voice
Within the answer’s hiding
