I think I'm heartbroken"Mummy says now that my heart is broken, nothing will ever hurt me as much again" The Poet.
______________________________________________________________
Fir trees along the road, showing the way.
There's a log cabin, for us to stay.
Daddy built our house by a big fir tree.
A loving place for he, mummy and me.
Mountain country, cozy fires to keep warm,
Wild flowers,...

Prayer's Power
When heart breaks and bleeds under the sharp knife,
Cut and crushed feelings blame the storm of life.
When mind forgets the joy of the daybreak,
forlorn eyes spend the night in tears and ache.
But firm faith fights the hardest blows of pain,
to triumph over the arrows of rain....

Shall I Compare Thee To an Elephant?Shall I compare thee to an elephant?
Thou art a thousand times more relevant.
Not from a floppy ear doth ardor rise,
Nor yet doth sinuous trunk knot love’s sweet ties;
And if thou can’t stampede across the plains,
Nor deftly roll in mud when monsoon rains,
I find my heart shall hold here little lack,
As pachyderm thou aren’t in love’s...

Sailors and LocalsSixteen sailors strode into a pub,
Then a group of them left to get some grub.
Those who remained got into a fight,
With some locals who drank there every night.
Although the sailors did outnumber,
The locals (who were also dumber)
Two sailors shy of a ratio of two-to-one,
They (the sailors) had lost and the locals had won.
But then exactly...

Sense My LoveSee my love in the waves of the seas.
Hear my love in rustling leaves in the breeze.
Feel my love in my soft caressing touch.
Share with me a gentle light kiss, not too much.
Like the love shown by a cooing dove,
Through these fleeting moments, sense my love.

Your LoveYour love is like a rainbow that arches through the skies,
It gives my life a purpose and answers to my why’s.
Like God’s promise throughout eternity, it’s your promise just to me.
That with God’s help there’s no limits, and with your love I can be free.
Stick with me my rainbow, and just you wait and see.

Removing the weeds when the rain's pouring down
Baling the hay in the heat and humidity
Breathe the dust of the chicken coop, abject...

Border surveillance female scouts
their warnings unheeded about
an attack, imminent, from Gazan Hamasniks
IDF superiors pooh-poohed the risks

ONCE AGAINONCE AGAIN
Once again, we cry;
Again, a nation apart.
Our togetherness has run dry,
Whitered like a broken heart.
Division kisses oneness goodbye,
And once more and again, we cry.
Greatness is in being together;
Together, no matter the weather:-
Once again, we must sow onement;
Reaping a oneness that is God sent.

A perilous time to be an Israeli

ControlI finally found the source to re-gain control in my life
Control against addictions or afflictions even the ethereal
It directly correlatives to the rheostat of my faith
Not just gripping my faith keeping it safely central
Decades of trial and error have come to bear fruit
A new chapter in my life but with an actual binder
Ability to embrace...

OH WATERMELONjust for fun....
OH! WATERMELON!
Oh watermelon, you’re a sweet, juicy summertime delight
inviting us all to take a refreshing bite.
Your juice drips down, a sugary, sticky stream.
You’re the taste of summer, delightful but not clean.
Your rind cracks with a satisfying sound.
Your dark...
