A Crack

“There is

a crack

in everything.

That’s how

the light

gets in.”

light

denotes love

God’s great creation

ideas that really matter

bright

Haiku:

howling wind blows east

snow creates whiteout blizzard

life is put on hold

Poem:

.

there once was a lady from Minneapolis
her credo in life was happiness
she began each morning with a prayer to God
this wondrous universe she would applaud

a great big smile she always wore
for her being kind was never a chore
her every action showed unconditional love
sharing the graces she received from above

her daily focus was to do God’s will
never to make a mountain out of a molehill
for the sick and suffering she was patient
never took things for granted, was never complacent

for the stupid and ignorant she was tolerant
she was very very proud to be independent
for the misguided she was forgiving
content she was with her standard of living

each day ended with a prayer of gratitude
for being seen and not being viewed

Make Me Feel

“I don’t want perfect

I want something real.

Something that makes

me feel.”

those inconsiderate thugs

I want it my way

Poem:

.

hugs are for love
directions from above
kindness grows in a thankful heart
where serenity and peace have their start

open minds allow love to blossom
to share one’s self is totally awesome
at birth the soul is pure we trust
all we need to fly is some fairy dust

they say that a child will show them how
with unconditional love in the here and now
the best inherited from the family tree
love, we know, must always be free

love can never be duplicitous
faith begins with willingness
a generous heart bound with filigree
promises made with a guarantee

with an olive branch from a dove
hugs are for love
