Marijana's Journey

Marijana’s Journey  


She’s only twenty eight
Life threw her a challenge.
For physical she went
Everything is fine 
That what the doctor said. 


One morning as she dressed
For a moment she stopped
Too much pain
Felt in her breast.

Something comes over her mind
This can’t be happening 
I was just fine.

With one touch she found a lump
Chills were through her body and mind. 
It’s bigger than a dime.
Her life is put on hold
To get rid of that awful poison.
Her body holds.

Surgery went fine
Chemotherapy started soon 
Her hair fell out 
She was standing on the balcony
Looking at the moon. 


Her spirit is high
Thank God she is alive
In her eyes you can see the pain
What she is going through  
At her age.

Marijana is her name 
She’s beautiful 
Even without her hair.

I love her very much 
I pray to God 
To give her his touch
Hope his miracle comes upon her
And she lives long prosperous years.

Awaken Taste Buds

Awaken taste buds  



 Lovely Linda 
 Makes food tasty
 Um um good 

 Peach Chipotle BBQ Sauce 
Your taste buds won’t 
Be the same 
Chipotle is the one to blame.

Peach & Apple Salsa
Time to have a siesta 
Red Wine Antipasto 
Divine 
All you need is a glass of wine 

Olive Tapenade
Takes you over to a promenade 
Fire & Ice Wine 
When cooking it’s smelly 
That now turns into a Jelly 

Cranberry & Jalapeño Vinaigrette
One try 
 Your taste buds won’t forget 
Lemon & Dill 
Smells all the way down the hill

I have to tell you 
Go on the web 
Tasteoftheokanagan.com
Where you will find foods galore 
 The Best of the sunny Okanagan
You will ask for more.

Happy Birthday My Love

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE

Today is your birthday
I wish you are not far away
My gift to you 
A kiss upon your lips

To hold you in my arms 
Caress you until the dawn
Making love for day or two 
Wish this dream would come true


My darling 
Hope your day is happy 
I do miss you 

Love you very much
May God bless
With his mighty touch 
Watch over you 
Where ever you are

I love you 
Happy birthday 
My love

Withering Rose

Withering rose     

Garden full of life                                                                   
Sunshine coming through the magnolia tree                                           
Not to far from it is a beautiful rose 
 Trying to be,                                                                      

As the years past 
She blossomed to a beauty
She had someone to care for thee
She blossomed with the three
Who Stood by her,

Time is gone and it took a tall on her 
There was no sun coming in the sky
Her petals one by one started to fall,

The garden was looking the same
In one corner where she remains
Early that morning 
As her last petal fell
A butterfly flitted by,
   
And gentle voice asked 
The garden won’t look the same
If you let go and die
Nobody notice her as she                                 
Fades away except one little 
Passer by

A gentle voice asked 
What happened to your beauty?
And promised her
To send sunshine                                            
To warm and give light                       

With your beauty 
The garden will change
All over again

Dandy Diva

Dandy Diva 
Jewels as unique as women who wear them 

At the market she has her stand 
Goldie locks hair beautiful face   
Andrea is her name 
Gems and jewels are her fame.

Games and jewels very rare
If you don’t get them 
Some one will take them away.
Andrea shops all over the world
To bring them to you

On the neck of a little girl 
Swarovski crystal clear.
Green Jade is a lot of fun
You must get it before it’s gone.

Zebra Agate sassy 
Belongs on the neck
 Lady that’s classy
Amethyst I have two
I didn’t want belonging to you.

Tiger’s eye is like clever spy 
Jumps at you when you walk by
Sun opal sparkles on the sun
It changes color
Depending on what you have on
 
Ruby Carnelian is the one
I will get before it’s gone
Hot Pink Mother of Pearl
She was brought up from big blue sea.

Copper Swarovski Infinity 
 Must have one definitely 
African Agate looks neat
 It will knock you off your feet.

This is a small collection from the maze 
Go on DandyDiva.com 
 Do your own gaze 
 Don’t know what you are waiting for
Rush to the market and get some more
Before they are all gone
 Jewels, one of a kind.

Tears Falling

I wake up each morning 
Thinking of you 
Wandering if you are ok 
Or feeling blue

I want to be with you 
Every moment of the day
Asking myself if you’ll stay
And take my pain away
Brighten the day.

Your smile shines through 
Oh how I wish I was with you
Kiss upon your lips 
I give you day and night
You hold me in your arms 
Telling me everything is all right.

I close my eyes 
Touch of your warm arms  
You and me in different time 
Embracing each others  
You look in my eyes 
As the tears fall 

I love you very much
My love I’m hear to stay
There is no escape from my heart
Forever you will be there.

My Angel

My Angel

When I close my eyes
I see Angel
In front of me

His glowing face
I want to touch
Kiss upon the lips
To give would be a delight

He whispers gently
Into my ear
I’m here for you
I love you dear

Come lie beside me
Hold me tight 
Put your head on my chest
Sleep their all night 

I hold you in my heart
Where you always will be
My sweet Angel
Looking over me

You are my Angel 
God brought you to me
To ease my suffering 
Let me fly free

Dear God please look
After him where ever he is
Protect my Angel 
I’m in love with him

I open my eyes 
There is no Angel 
It was you lying next to me.

Beautiful Jessica

Twenty seven years 
You came to this world
Small and sweet
First time our eyes met
Connection was there 
I will never forget

Sweet smile 
Little arms  
Reaching up for a embrace 
I came to see you 
Every day 

First words you said 
In my mind always
Will be set

You are your 
Mom’s pride and joy
She wanted you
For a long time you know

Every time I phoned
I heard a cry
Your mom could not 
Leave you with anyone
I asked please let me try

You are grown up now
Blossomed to a beauty 
I wish you could believe 


You can’t 
What is happening 
To you my pretty?
 

Food became your misery 
Wasting away day by day
I pray to God to guide you his way.

To show you what you do  
Depriving your self of food
God gave and blessed 

Please don’t make your self sick
I don’t want to see you looking like death
Shine your beauty show it to the world
Let your voice sing and be heard

I do love you like you are mine
When you were little we spent 
Together allot of time
Take good care my precious girl
Your kids needs you 
We love you Jessica
