The children shouted and jumped with glee
dashed to town so they could see
A boy who said, "I live in a shoe
With my dog Tiger, I'm four foot two."
He amused young and old for free.
Now at the age of eighty-two
His life of fantasy seems so true
This tiny man with spirit so strong,
Re-lives the memories of years long gone.
Long life? How? Love is the clue.

Twenty-five Brownies sleeping in a tent
A skunk spied an opening, in he went
The screams they echoed far and wide
The morning dawned, with none inside.

The tall pine tree points to the sky
Its branches landing platforms for birds who pass by
The towering giants collect a due
From our feathered friends as they pass through
A droplet here a droplet there
That tumbles down through the spike like hair
To the soil below, that feeds the roots
More trees grow starting as green shoots
Sounds real good in a scientific way
Trees provide nests for birds that will stay
Nests in the hair? Little dogs beneath me?
If there's reincarnation, I don't want to be a tree

Just a line to say I'm living
That I'm not among the dead
Tho I'm getting more forgetful
and mixed up in the head.
For sometimes I can't remember
When I stand at the foot of the stairs
If I must go up for something
or I have just come down from there
And before the refrigerator so often
My poor mind is filled with doubt
Have I just put food away?
or have I come to take it out?
And there's times when it's dark outside
With my night cap on my head
I don't know if I'm retiring
or just getting out of bed.
So if it's my turn to write you
There is no need in getting sore
I may think that I have written
and don't want to be a bore.
So remember --- I do love you
and I wish that you were here
But now it's nearly mail time
And I must say goodbye dear.
Here I stand beside the mailbox
with a face so very red
Instead of mailing you my letter
I have opened it instead.

The silver movement of
the fish with gentle swooping
genstures.
It skims and turns
with
Tides of softness or fits of anger.
Then it settles down when the
moon sets in again.

Spring is gone with all its gladness,
And the world is wreathed in sadness.
Where are the tiny birds just unfolding?
And the light dewy showers always falling?
Where is the robin and the meadowlark
That sing when yet the earth is dark?
Their defiant musical notes pouring
From the trees or the hilltops towering?
Where are the tiny creatures that fly
When the sunshine's on the rye?
And the butterflies that form a band
That fly along just out of reach of hand
The ones who are weak but join the chase
Alas, they can't keep up the race.
Where are they now, that spring is gone
And summer has been chased along?
A messenger of royal winter came,
and now, nature isn't the same.
No creature of spring is seen, no not one!
Alas, how sad that spring is gone!
And we mortals have to live and strive
Until spring-time greets us all alive
With the pep and joy!

I touched the sky with my fingertips today
It was with no help from a bird, or a being,
But from the honesty of a friend.
I'm filled again with loneliness.
This time not for being a stranger,
but from the cold dark stares
That burn through my head and steal my
Only sight of sunshine.
I danced on a rainbow this evening and
Saw the smiles of dreams I once had
And will forever keep, and I was filled
With the same refreshing feeling of diving
Into a cold, crisp lake, waiting for the
Chance to open my heart to the happiness
Of those around me, yet too broken.
I heard the sound of an old friend today,
And listened to the soft melody of this
Dear person and wept for what I had,
And imagined what I may have.
I opened up a new chapter in an old
Familiar book again and began to read
the golden letters of my life.
By wierdgrace
I watched a sea gull clowning
Over a misty bay,
And I learned a profound
Lesson
Seeing it at play.
Though life is filled with struggle
In contests to succeed,
One may still be playful
In fulfilling daily needs.

Judge not the future by one fretful day
Weak grows the will that every mood can sway.
Courage has strangely always found a way!
The gallant leaf that winters through,
captivates the gaze that scans the view;
Not those a wind sweeps down an avenue.
What most the heart admires in valiant things,
Those dauntless virtues well might serve as wings,
To soar above a sad day's happenings!
| Author Notes | One fretful day, PixelArtisan thank you |

The Light cometh out from the Clouds
He does well,
who does good
to those of
his own brotherhood.
He does better
who does bless
the stranger
in his wretchedness.
Yet, best, oh best
of all does he
who helps
a fallen enemy."

Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and Grace;
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind.
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks;
Love is the language
That every heart speaks
Love can't be bought;
It is priceless and free -
Love like pure magic,
Is a sweet mystery.
He does better
who does bless
The stranger
in his wretchedness.
Yet, best, Oh best
of all does he
Who helps
a fallen enemy."

A great day is ahead for you.
A call from far above.
An Angel speaks
the voice you hear, awake, or asleep
this holy presence is near,
to help and to guide and keep away fear.
It shall comfort you in times
of trouble and lift you up to greater heights
than you have ever known.
As a breath of Heaven
it comes to lead the way
always marching on ahead,
lighting the way.
A way beyond the sands of time,
holds the greatest secret of all mankind.
We can't express our
happiness to be on hand when they command.
To show our face to every race.
To love them each and everyone.
To do our bit whenever we can,
we will then be triumphant over all the land.
See the best in everything,
you will find that to be elevating
and forever a protection to yourself
and others creating that good influence
that will circulate around you
and help others on that upward trend.

Asleep or awake, guardian angels watch over thee.
Ascending and descending,
bringing peace and joy,
and filling hearts with gladness,
and minds with goodness.
Opening the road of progression,
to everyone that will harken to the truth and believe.

What a joy to watch the unfolding of the bud of a lily,
day by day,
until it opens up,
filled with Radiance,
and life springing forth,
which gladdens the eyes of those that can see deep into the heart of the lily,
sending forth its pure rays,
which brighten up the world
and softens the hearts of humanity.

Helplessly, drifting along with the tide.
Multitudes of souls as dark as the night.
Shifting along they know not where
Awaiting a leader to show them the way
And open the door to the kingdom of truth and knowledge.
Oh! Throw out the nets and gather them in,
To safety and warmth,
And save them from sin.
Oh! Thou sons of light and love
Erase hatred and selfishness
From the fact of the earth.
Success will come even
As the drops of rain.
We know not the hour,
But the end will be victorious.

With - in this quiet room we find
A healing thought for all mankind.
An atmosphere of truth and love
With-in, without, beneath, above.
Surrounded by this mighty power,
We consecrate this quiet hour.
To God's divine eternal plan,
O peace on earth, good will to men.

As we journey through life
we go groping along
with sadness and gloom
amid sunshine and song.
At times we are troubled,
with problems and cares,
we seem to be stumbling
and getting no where's.
But don't get discouraged
or faint of heart,
because life is just beginning
and this is your start.
It all seems a puzzle,
when you don't understand.
Take life as it comes,
with chin high up in the air
and you will be gladdened
and free from all care.

Love is soft like summer rain
Filled with laughter, touched by pain
Silent as an autumn breeze
Powerful as redwood trees
Immortal as an ocean's flow
Whimsy as a flake of snow
Certain as the sky above
Peaceful as a cooing dove
Stronger than a hinged locked door
Love, this and yet much more.
By wierdgrace
Our spirit is like a diamond in the rough.
It is there, hidden, for a while,
waiting to come forth and shine and
send forth its brilliant light.
This is home ties.

If you could go back to your childhood days, for just one hour and live again in that fairyland of mysterious imaginations and see things through a child's eyes, the enchantment of it all, how alluring and inspiring it would all seem.
Our world of yesterday is but a dream.
"Go back again," see that childish heart, with its great love and sympathy.
Tis the soul which is alive, it speaks, it sings, it cries out to all earthly things.
Protect that spark, don't let it flicker and die down, but nourish it by love and encouragement.
Let its light shine forth unto the entire world.
| Author Notes | Hope you enjoy |

Love is an endless chain,
it cannot be destroyed.
Just love one another.

Little House
There in the middle
Of nowhere
But grasses.
Stillness of
A little house,
Nothing but quietness
And peacefulness.
All alone
Like a cactus in a desert.
