Tidbits of wisdom from People of experience
What can I say - I really, really love lightning bugs and I have a fanciful imagination! :)
The Last Thing Jesus Said Before Ascending Into Heaven: “Remember ! I Am With You Always, Even Unto The End Of The World.” Amen. Matthew 28: 20
Exodus 16 4 Then the LORD said unto Moses: 'Behold, I will cause to rain bread from heaven for you; ... 31 And the house of Israel called the name Manna; and it was like coriander seed, white ; and the taste of it was like wafers made ??with honey. 35 And the children of Israel did eat the Manna forty years, ...
What a phoqued up world and way too many just sit back and say nothing. Then point fingers.
Deep in the mines where the ale flows free Our tankards raised, let the revelry be Dwarven drinking songs and cheers all round For we're the finest miners in the underground Our work is rough, but our spirits high For we're the ore extractors
An evil man stands before me, with eyes dark as midnight sky A life of pain and sorrow, soul so lost, it made me cry But there's a glimmer of hope, deep within his ashen dreams A chance at his redemption, or so to me it seems His world cr
In a land of magic and wonder, There lived a child with pure innocence, She roamed the fields with laughter and splendor, Blissfully unaware of the world's malevolence. But one day a darkness descended, The air grew cold, and the sky turned gr
Just some random I believe, inspired by Blue Collar TV with Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy, and Bill Engvall.
I posted my first piece here on CS Poetry Corner in June 2013. There was a great camaraderie among the poets then and the subsequent years. It was a wonderful feeling that inspired other poets and myself in our writing. I have written this piece in honour of those days. It was inspired and motivated by the song: “Those Were The Days” by Mary Hopkins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3KEhWTnWvE

I spent a good portion of my life believing what I was told to believe. Someone help me find the truth? I will believe in the God who speaks with me. I will not hold court with riddles and history. If I am to believe in a God, it will be the Living God. It will be one concerned with my existence. It will not be an ancient sovereign who is beyond my reach. It will be He who Cares and Touches my Soul, Not the cold and isolated, distant Father of the sinful Church. I AM WORTH KNOWING- SHARE YOURSELF WITH ME.

Simple lines
Listen to the wind as it blows A gentle breeze soft and slow The stars are out taking on a magnificent glow Waves pounding rhythmically in a row How easy it is to become one with the sea Slowing your life down the way it should be Enjoying

Concluded writing this song 7-3 2023. This is another abstract - but is it? I had another name or two for this that I liked better in mind, yet allow me to ask you what title would be best, and perhaps why? lol Until then

the poem serves as a motivational reminder to awaken one's dormant potential, to seek strength from within, and to embrace the process of self-improvement. It encourages individuals to break free from limitations, harness their inner capabilities, and allow their true selves to flourish.
We are so busy with work and life. We just need to be Us sometimes. Having a Me Day. XXX
Recently a poem of mine was deleted without explanation Not only is poetry a form art and self expression but historical documents giving reference to thought and feeling a particular moment in time. Lots of writers and artists have faced this situation The poem had comments and views. So I wrote the poem opening whoever decided to delete this work of art?might find the courage to explain why
"Ode to the Heart of a Soldier" is a powerful and emotionally resonant poem that explores the interior life of a soldier. Through its eight stanzas, the poem delves into the profound dedication, courage, and sense of purpose that fuels a soldier's journey. It honors the sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering commitment to the protection of their homeland. The poem doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of war, instead, it emphasizes the soldier's bravery and determination even in the face of adversity. The soldier's love for their country, their willingness to fight for freedom and peace, and their unyielding spirit are all highlighted as key themes. The poem's title aptly encapsulates the spirit of the work, which is a tribute to the soldier's heart - the courage, the dedication, and the love that drives them. It serves as an homage to all soldiers, their resilience, their sacrifices, and their undying commitment to their cause. In its essence, "Ode to the Heart of a Soldier" is an exploration of the human spirit under extreme circumstances, illustrating the strength and resilience that defines a soldier.
I listen to many songs related to the Fourth of July, Voices That Care from the 91 Iraq and Kuwait War, and God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood, American Pie by Don McLean is another good one.
When white tiles isn't enough lets go more :)
When I am with you,the only place I want to be is closer … Where are you my love? I need the star shine of your heavenly eyes,after the day's great sun Where are you my love? Snow has fallen,and the ground has disappeared & I feel your nowhere ne
Opportunity knocks, embrace its call, Unleash your dreams, stand tall. With courage as your guiding light, Embrace the chance, seize the fight. A door opens wide, opportunity's gate, Embrace the challenge, don't hesitate. For within its grasp
Time goes by so quickly Here I sit with a glass of wine And the memory of you Memories of the past Can soothe the soul But memories of regret Can make you numb All possibilities are left Only in your mind
When we were young we were not hung upon anything We could be young and discover The goodness of life as a song to sing And then one day the world gave us a pill And we became ill with so many broken dreams Instead of today we went in the way
Love this movie.
This happened to a cousin of mine who married a dark haired beauty from South America - she wanted to come to America and live like a Queen. Took all his money and went back to South America and now living like a Queen with her boyfriend and their baby. True story. Beware! American women may not be all honey and pie - but at least some of us are honest.
Update: A dear friend of mine was just told last week that she only has 6-8 months left to live because she has Lung Cancer. She never smoked a day in her life!! I originally wrote when entering period of time when my Mom passed away. Towards the end she sat in her chair staring at the wall and remembering memories. I thought it was my memories coming to me - however, possibly it was meant for my friend instead. Kathy
My last song I listened to is If I Can't Have You by Yvonne Elliman from 1977 on the Bee Gees Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
How easily we forget those days when we are now surrounded by so much technology our kids think a phone is fun.
This is from a story of mine involving a Spartan who interacts with the world outside New Sparta, and though he realized that he is more than what he seems, he still keeps to what he always was.
I wrote this 6-22-2023. I suppose in this write that you've done about everything (and gone everywhere), and now what? I'd say improvise, adapt, overcome, and write a madcap song like this! lol Until then
