online today!THE OYSTER AND THE PEARL
There was an oyster laying on the shore
That everyone walked by and ignored
For years it was there in the sand
Waiting to be discovered by a human hand
A special miracle started happening inside
A secret God had placed there to hide
Away where no one could see
Grew a precious gem only made by the sea
A lustrous shimmering beautiful pearl
Whose beauty was about to be revealed
A child collecting shells opened to see
A hard beautiful object the size of a pea
God gave the gift of his son to pave our way
To Eternal Life in Heaven our own Easter Day
The beautiful white pearl innocent and white
God’s wondrous work had come to light
That everyone walked by and ignored
For years it was there in the sand
Waiting to be discovered by a human hand
A special miracle started happening inside
A secret God had placed there to hide
Away where no one could see
Grew a precious gem only made by the sea
A lustrous shimmering beautiful pearl
Whose beauty was about to be revealed
A child collecting shells opened to see
A hard beautiful object the size of a pea
God gave the gift of his son to pave our way
To Eternal Life in Heaven our own Easter Day
The beautiful white pearl innocent and white
God’s wondrous work had come to light

About this poem:
God's wondrous gifts to us. Easter is in a week celebrating the greatest gift of all.
Juggling InThe Park
Juggling
In the park
I think it was three weeks before Easter
Walking in the park
I think it was below freezing
People talking
People walking
A woman selling Mountain Dew
In a gas station
Wishing me a nice day
Can you dig it
Yes I can
I've been waiting such a long time
For Sunday
Another day in the park
I think it was March 19
Slow motion drivers
In the Hardee's drive thru
Getting sausage and biscuits
And maybe some gravy
Wait a minute
I used to pay way less than this
9 dollars
and 8 cents
Listen children
All is not lost
Just some coinage
Just some coinage
I've been waiting such a long time for the day
In the park
I think it was three weeks before Easter
Walking in the park
I think it was below freezing
People talking
People walking
A woman selling Mountain Dew
In a gas station
Wishing me a nice day
Can you dig it
Yes I can
I've been waiting such a long time
For Sunday
Another day in the park
I think it was March 19
Slow motion drivers
In the Hardee's drive thru
Getting sausage and biscuits
And maybe some gravy
Wait a minute
I used to pay way less than this
9 dollars
and 8 cents
Listen children
All is not lost
Just some coinage
Just some coinage
I've been waiting such a long time for the day

About this poem:
Parody of Saturday in the Park by Chicago, and what I did today in Dubuque, Iowa, and going to the Heritage Trail.
Finding Peace
Find calmness now
Space meeting grace
Open up somehow
In a physical place
Widening horizons
Let you’re spirit grow
Energy uprisen
An arching rainbow
Relaxation grows
No barriers abound
New dawn arose
Peace will be found
Space meeting grace
Open up somehow
In a physical place
Widening horizons
Let you’re spirit grow
Energy uprisen
An arching rainbow
Relaxation grows
No barriers abound
New dawn arose
Peace will be found

About this poem:
The focus is on mindfulness in search of peace in a contested world.Star In Our Own Show
Listen closely and you will hear
The most important message of all
A key to the dreams you hold so dear
An escape from the sweltering thrall
The subtle signs you’ve been missing
Processing your thoughts to no ends
All along what you’ve been dismissing
Living alone in a world just pretends
Before saying anything come to a stop
Explore the depths of your feelings
For in an instant an idea might pop
A new approach for healthy healings
Discover first what you need so clearly
What anyone else truly needs to know
What any of us really want so dearly
To become the star in our own show
The most important message of all
A key to the dreams you hold so dear
An escape from the sweltering thrall
The subtle signs you’ve been missing
Processing your thoughts to no ends
All along what you’ve been dismissing

Before saying anything come to a stop
Explore the depths of your feelings

Post Commentonline today!First Christmas Morn
The sky was dark with sprinkles of stars
An extra bright star shone from afar
In the silence was a loud baby’s cry
While in the Heavens there was a wonderful sigh
God had come down as a small child
Holy – so tender and mild
Wondrous Angels singing on high
As they hovered in the night sky
Shepherds witnessing the wondrous birth
3 Kings bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh
Our long awaited Savior had been born
On that first beautiful Christmas morn

online today!FAITH AS A SHIELD
What is faith? One would ask...
On what does one have to focus
Or believe to have faith? 'Cos no matter
What happens, the end will be good!
For I see the rapture of my soul
Above my neighbour or the passer by!
My God so true and loving to me
Makes me see the brighter side!
The light in the darkness, inspires me
To have the faith of salvation so true!
So no matter what, death or destruction
Boldly would I face, with the Shield of Faith!
When all the world is so unsure of life
When no one is anywhere near or dear!
When all dreams are but awash for awhile
All I have, is my faith to assure!
So, I wear my faith as a shield to protect me
From the snares of the wicked and the Devil!

About this poem:
Having received God protection, in the face of death...
Freedom of thought!
The thunder rolls above my head, some God is angry, something I said?
If lighting strikes then I am done, nowhere to hide, nowhere to run,
Did I take some name in vain? Release thy wrath? instill the pain?
God above will show his love when all obeys, what God says!
But I just don’t know what I should do, so many God’s, which one is true?
I think I will take a different view and be myself not follow you!
In this world of diversity who knows what’s right who knows what’s true,
I won’t take sides or follow blindly, I’ll be me, and I'll never deny your right to see, what’s true to you, is the way to be.

About this poem:
Inspired by d4nI314, she will know what it means!
Deity
Full moon glowing
Wind howling
Knock, knock
Four corners unlock
I realized
It's the GODS who made me
Not the Gods I made
Thank you
Mommy and Daddy!
Wind howling

Post CommentThe Game!
Someone once said ‘this game is all in the mind, and the mind is all but a game’ oh yes, twas me, we chase our tails constantly. But there is a way we can be free, don’t take the red, don’t take the blue, just open your mind to what is true.
1: You cannot be what you cannot see.
2: You have to grow to know.
3: You have to know to grow.
4: You have to see ‘this reality’
5: You come to know that you are me’
And now, you are free!
1: You cannot be what you cannot see.

3: You have to know to grow.

5: You come to know that you are me’
And now, you are free!
