Blessings

I will leave this earth as I came,
taking nothing.
But I leave some of myself.

My children,grandchildren and
 all the smiles I gave,
Even to strangers I met and
 didn't know.

The good words I gave when they
were needed,
Blessed not only me but the receiver.

 Your path is preordained, your
steps are set.
Make sure you can say, you left your
footprints on this earth.

Then you will have truly been a 
blessing to family and friends.

Earthbound Angels

I was at a place I didn't want to be,
and was privileged to see angels 
working around me.

The angels in heaven were praising 
and singing, as the night angel
here on earth quietly was 
comforting a lady here on this plane.


With a soothing voice ,the night
angel talked to reassure and
with a touch of a hand  let her 
know someone was there.

There also was a day angel ,as 
busy as she was took time to
cool a hot brow, talk to this
sweet lady suffering her last 
days, like she heard every word.

So give praise to God's angels
here on earth ,they do not look
like angels but angels they are.

So bless them do, 
Nurses they are ,all around you.

Greatness Through Generations

On a stool she sat at Greatfather's
 feet,
 He feeding her ice cream as a
 birthday treat.

 Two years old sitting up straight,
 to catch each yummy spoonful, 
 Mouths open both of them.,
 as the ice cream goes in.

 Sun shining brightly in the bay 
 window, leaving both in a cool-
 shaded silhouette .

 A random picture taken,
turns a sweet gesture into
a loving memory for the two 
of them.

Immortalized now forever in time,
 in a large frame,
on a table beside the big green
 chair ,
Only he sits in.

This is a real picture my
grandson took ,shaded out the color,
framed it and gave to my husband. 
A family treasure  forever.

Heavenly Message

Arriving upon the heavenly shores,
  Eyes wide, new sights everywhere.

  Long ago family and friends warmly
  greeting him.

  Tears flow like a river,happy to be here,
  Sad to leave loved ones down there.

  Send an angel with a message,
  say I will be  here when your turn comes.
  Remember you are only far from my touch,
  Never far from my heart.

 When your twilight comes, I'll be be waiting
 to greet you my love.

Sisters

With memories lodged in our hearts
                                                         and minds,
                                      We laugh and remember all the silly things
                                            that  happened and cherish the
                                                       childhood years.

                                     The bond formed long ago,  sharing
                                     parents, clothes, makeup and even shoes.
                                             Sisters we are are but friends
                                                         we've become.

                                      Now grown, with famlies of our own.
                                    The bond of everlasting love and friendship
                                        is a special treasure that only sisters
                                                  will keep into eternity.

Best Mother In Law

she lived far away 
the phone to communicate
first question asked


always check weather
then how are you doing now
a happy response


want her back again
two weeks for pleasure visit
wished for us again

Spring Burst

Spring has burst forth with buds of all kinds,
With the promise of majestic leaves to blow in
 the wind and shade this garden of mine.

Branches reaching up to the heavens, for solar
power of the suns rays.
Daffodils, crocus bursting up from their winter 
bed to take the spotlight of spring time.

The rest of the garden waiting  for April rains to
 wash through the sweet earth with the fragrance 
of flowers.
Butterflies to light on the pedals  of marvellous colors
for nectar so sweet,
To fluter around and enjoy mother earth.

It happens every year , each time it's new and inspiring
to observe.
Sit back , enjoy the pleasures of rebirth,
Life is renewed in our gardens ,
Just as life is renewed within us.

A Great Lady

A Great Lady

                             She made every summer happy and free,
                              with sleepovers out in the country.
                             
                             She made sticky buns and lemon tea,
                              on her old wood stove just for me.

                             She had good words for one and all,
                             and a ear to listen to everyone woes.

                             She was warm, loving with a heart of gold,
                             A great lady, my Grandma.

Lonely Nights

Lonely Nights
  
                                         A picture to say good night my honey,
                                                    no more sweet kisses.
                                
                                         A picture to hold, all I have left of you,
                                                     kept by my bedside.
 
                                        No sweet embrace, left are memories
                                              of my nights, shared with you.
