Best Rena Poems

Rena knew she was coming, long before I did.
She was pulling at my heart strings.
She was glinting in my eye.
She was whispering to me in my sleep.
Telling me of the love she'd keep...for me.

She was waiting to be born.
Far off in the starry sky.
Why she...

I hear it snowed at home today
while I basked in the sun.
I don't care, I cannot wait
to hold my little ones.

Edna my precious first born
with your hair of flaming red.
I miss talking things through.
The wise things you've said.

Cora with that bear hug
I love walking into.
Tight...

Elf owl,
          small Water-Bear,
          curious octopus.

At night I like to look to the sky
and remember the lost ones by whom I'm inspired
The angels Rena, Toni, Jeromiah, and David
all showed me something, how can I repay them?
My heros whos lives, troubled like mine
yet never once did they ever fail to shine

R-ising sun twenty-fourth January
O-pens the day with light; 
S-hadows have disappeared, 
E-arly morn sets things aright.

C-oal clouds and haze
A-re both nowhere in view; 
M-ist and fog fade away, 
B-lack sky becomes blue.
O-pen your life to beacon, 
N-ever hide your aura; 
G-o and start watching
G-ames at...

Growing up, I had one maternal and several paternal aunts.
There was one paternal great aunt who did not have a permanent     
residence of her own. All the aunts lived within a 50 mile radius of us,     ...

Creating in me learner’s wondrous cravings
Alluring my mind around discovery arena
Painting possibilities, vividly picturesque 
Teachers* lead toward pursuits, triumphant
Instilling in my heart values, illuminating
Vanquishing ignorance vis-à-vis great ventures  
Always captivating soul for exploration agenda…   
Taking time to check my search for truth-trekking
Imparting...

This Christmas, a memory surfaced of two aunts from my childhood.
One aunt taught me acceptance and approval; the other aunt taught me                       ...

My present thoughts take me to a distant past that reveals from my busied mind a trail of contrasts. There were three ladies, and I knew them during     my early childhood. There was a lady whose name I never knew, but...

I can honestly say,
God does send us Angels,
Angels that guide and deliver,
those certain ones He has chosen,
Angels that have had to endure so much.
Special people with a talent of understanding,
while listening, and caring.
The patience of a Saint, 
the strength of a Lion,
ready to pounce or...

Turn on the computer
Listen to it hum
Soon there are fingers typing
Click clacking across the keyboard
With a simple click I'm signed in
In a second the new comment message pops up
Watch the arrow glide across the screen
Click on the purple letters
I smile at what I see
"Hey Mommy"...
