Collections

In a little purse she carried
She called “her so many things,”
When her Mama had to tarry,
She’d play with her so many “blings.”

There was a ten cent plastic dolly,
A handkerchief for her nose;
A rock of a pinkish color,
In the general shape of a rose.

Her little purse...

It must be in our genes to collect things.
Our bounty paraded along tables and mantles. 
Eventually life shifts gears and priorities change.
The critics seep in, our collections are thinned.
Just a batch of clutter too soon to be forgotten.
Marbles and shells boxed into attics and closets.
Cabbage...

"Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
Look full in His wonderful face.
And the things of earth will
Grow strangely dim in the
light of His glory and grace."***

OH! When your eyes are turned upon
Jesus! You won't be looking towards
Earthly things. Your heart will indeed
Rejoice and your spirit will sing!***

"Isn't...

I see before me in all array
collections of a bygone day
classic chairs and dated books
clothing and a complete attire
of chairs where I have never sat
and books that I have never read
the clothing that I never wore

Trappings if you will, to seal the span of time
that...

Poor wisp of life, upon the billows whisper
A love assailed by storms of uncertainty and defeat.
Across what cruel seas of hope we flee,
My heart and yours alone to steer the course!

My pen is dull, my sword of little force
Our dreams lie open to the winds...

Bevy of swans in a sea-fowl cloud,
starling mumuration,whispering aloud.
Wray of quail,where teal spring,
tiding of magpie,as larks nesting, cling.

Nightingale watch a hover of crows,
herd of wrens,hosting sparrows.
Flight of doves,lapwing deceit,
charm of finches,swallows sweet.

Kindle of kittens,knot of toads,
a yoke of oxen shed their load.
Den of snakes,skulk with...

An Evening Date

Once, we lay beneath a starlit sky
And the sheaves of wheat seemed to bow
before the grandeur of our sighs.
I opened my heart to yours that day
Wishing to stay, for eternity, as we lay.

When we were spirits free from mortal mesh
And love unbound in...

A bluebird came upon my path with spirit light
I watched as he tarried along the way
He fluttered in a fury then into a flight
I awaiting to hear what he might say.
His spirit soared, he chirped a rhyme
I listened close, forgetting the time.
And he bespake unto...

A Love Departed

I dreamt once as I lay awake in your arms
That I may greet a day
Beneath the wondrous stars
And sunlit rays
With you, only you, once again.

You were daring, chivalric, and make of valor
And I-I was an innocent girl
A best friend and impetous scholar.
For nights,...

OH! Unto us a child is born!
OH! Unto us a Son is given!
Unto the people of the earth,
The virgin Mary gave birth,
To her newborn Son!

In a Bethlehem manger!
The Christ child was born!
Jesus Christ was born! A-Men!

Eight days after Jesus was born,
He was christened and circumcised.
Two...

That we ought to be doing business!
And thus be accounted to be worthy
servants of our beloved master,

OH! It true that we should following
in His footsteps! And walk the same
paths that He has walked. And to

Oh unto to us a child is born!
Unto to us a child was given!
This special child came from
God the Father in heaven's
lofty heights above. All because
of God's redeeming love. *

unto to us today! Hallelujah! 
Christ was born for man and
woman...

Not my father, not my brother but it's me O Lord standing
in the need of prayer!"  (2X)
