Waves of Change

Changes in life descriptionalized
In comparison to waves of the ocean
Our bodies are made mostly of water
A body of water with flowing emotions

Now an ocean will flow peacefully
Until there is a bit of turbulence
Disrupting from a smooth flow
With the up and down currents

As we...

Dedication:  Thanks to all of my dear family and friends who share the joy of life with me!

The Enjoyment of Life

To find the enjoyment of life
For the moments we live
It matters not what we do
It is who we do it with

As we should find...

EXAMPLE

We are on this Earth to learn
With a sample of description
A visual account of the relevant
Or a biblical parable illustration

That is what is called the example 
The right way we should be taught
First is the beginning of the word
Exam, a test that must be caught

Then...

This poem was originally written in 2012 and now I have a special couple to dedicate it to: George & Dolores Reyna.  They are the perfect retired couple who brightens their own path, no matter what gloom may be around. They are following the...

Zora Neal saw that Their Eyes Were Watching God, when
Toni Morrison heard The Song of Solomon, and
James Baldwin Told It on the Mountain, while
W.E.B. DuBois embraced The Souls of Black Folks
Richard Wright was a Black Boy, that’s why
Dr. Maya Angelo Knew Why the Caged Bird...

The Beauty Within

When a heart is kind
Goodness seeps into your mind

Peacefulness flows all about
As the inner beauty turns inside out

When the kindness of the heart is given
Energy flows with life worth living

All living life comes from the Lord
His inner beauty keeps us in accord

That glorious...

This poem is dedicated to a special far away friend - Brandden Blackwell.  We became so close before we actually met.  So close, yet so far away - never around, yet always there - It's kind of like describing a metaphoric friend. Thanks,...

Although the right path in life is very narrow and difficult, I'm glad to be on that right path.....

Matthew 7:13-14

As we skip along
Going our merry way
In the journeys of life
Living day by day

Smelling sweet flowers
Or seeing a rainbow
To give us a big smile
So no one...

DREAM BIG
I feel lucky to have dreams
Not the dreams in your sleep
The dreams of things hoped for
Those happy wishes we all keep

Dreams can make you happy
And fill your heart with delight
In hopes they will all come true
Who knows maybe they might

There are some folks who...

Easter Joy

The joy of Easter
Is found within
It started way back
When Christ had risen

Now each individual
Is born with the joy
That we are all given
To self employ

The joy is from
The Lord above
The Great I Am
To share His Love

He sent His Son
In human form
To shine His light
For us...

Young and sprouting like a twig,
Branches to come to observe when big.

From roots of parent trees long ago,
The families begin to grow.

Siblings blossom from the branch I'm on,
With cousin branches a-blooming along.

Memorable times with them together
Seem to end as life changes like the weather.

Branches separate...

 JUST BEING NICE

It is not that you were lying
Something I do realize now
That you were simply trying
To just be nice, some ole how

Let me point out here what I see
I mistook your words of promise
As something that might actually be
Not a pile of dreams...

Each soul is gifted,
With an individual body at birth,
To travel through the lessons of life,
That we learn on this earth.

Every body is unique,
With their own special style,
Creating lasting memories,
With family, friends and smiles.

As it is only knowledge,
One can take with them,
When their time on earth,
Has...

My Baby Sister

My baby sister, Karrean
Went home to eternity
Her soul is with our Lord
To share His full serenity

For siblings we were all close
Our childhood was the best
I’ll never forget the fun we had
Our entire family felt so blessed

She always showed love
To everyone she knew
We all...
