Caregiving Poems

Learn to do right;
Seek peace and don’t fight;
In every avenue that you choose;
Choose peace, choose life;
Choose love be in the light;
Seek justice
You are so blessed
Please encourage the oppressed
Pray for them,
Help to set them free
Isaiah One seventeen says
Learn to love

Impending doom, if warning comes before destruction;
When is it the last warning toll?
Darkness leads the night
Impending doom, if warning comes before destruction;
When your texting and walking
Watch out for the curb and stop light

You envision the spoon in the pot;
On the...Read More

I got you the moon
Next I’ll get you 
Every star above

Whatever you need
Whatever you want
To make you well again

Of nighttime glitter
I know there’s a cure
In the sprinkles of moondust

The stars above hold powers
Sacred of white magic
Revealing...Read More

Hot water crisis

Suddenly no hot water
We didn’t have hot water in my childhood
We had to boil water on a kettle
Pour it into a bowl, add cold water and wash
The vital parts.
It was when it was a communal bath, I discovered
Hot...Read More

Perhaps a way to turn
from failed
and often violent
retributive justice
to grab healthy hold
of restorative justice

Would ask,
What is this deep difference
between discerning judgment
and moralistic judgment?

To discern,
and not to condemn,
is mutually empowering
and not autonomously powering over another,
against all Others potentially suspicious,
falling short of...Read More

Worth waiting for within my right
Alas awaken Christian Soldier

and won’t let you
go thru this alone
we’ll stand by

we’re right here
by your side
together
we’ll get
thru this

When rivers flowed down my wet eyes,
And my pillow was drenched in tears,
You were the one who heard my cries,
And helped me to chase off my fears.
I heard their sermon, of the Sears,
Even after a million tries,
I won't bring you...Read More

?As if a child should understand an  adult’s muddle,
putrid oil slick puddle,
the dreadful pain we foist on wide-eyed offspring.
Robotic elders crush with rigid slabs of Portland censure whatever spark remains in t iny rosebud coloured cheeks before their prime.
Those...Read More

In a fetid little harbor,
A great grey fleet, at anchor, floats.
Its once booming guns are voiceless
About battles of long ago.

Their once fresh paint is peeling off
From oozing rust sores on their hulls.
Mothballed battleships and cruisers
Will weigh anchor for the scrap...Read More

they come thru
one by one
for their treatment
putting on airs
of courage and
determination

they file thru
one by one
the nurses dedicated
bringing cheer
with compassion
sensitive and caring

their smile
like a breath
of fresh air

She woke up to the song of the rising sun
Dealt with the domestic chores in one quick run
When it's time to set to the duty outdoors,
she locked those grotty wooden doors.

She joined her friends at the site
And majestically wore a...Read More

The good ones look like their eyes
aren't meant for them
When others light their very souls
and make ammends come hem

That all their love is in a wait
for others to come in
When all their faith's inside each other
for waits denied their sin

That...Read More

Tolerance by itself not a virtue
Nor is acceptance,
As they generally come with poor eyesight,
No insight,
Are hard of hearing,
And tend to be motivated by fear.

The good news is that,
We still have patience and understanding,
To turn to.

There are abilities that we can...Read More

God says be strong and courageous! 
God says just do it, do it, do it
You are blessed and not curse
Just think it could be worse…

This is my command the Lord says do not be afraid or discouraged....Read More

Oh, Lord
When I go through deep,
When I go through deep waters, 
You said, you said you will be with me.
Whither a pond, a lake river or sea;
You will be with me, (be with me)
If I keep my eyes, keep my...Read More
