Definite Dinah does not Change Her Mind
Definite Dinah definitely doesn’t change her mind
Ferociously feeling firm in all ideas, she will find
Kids maneuver around her; she is not awfully kind
When she bargains and barters, it is legally bind
We saw Dinah debating where we usually dined
Warning the waiter she almost never will change her mind
He appreciates the heads up; said we were kind.

A Recent Change Of Mind
That stiff-neckedness; that boulder-like stoneness
The so-called track-travel; that perfection-proneness
The 'looking-down-upon' others as backboneless
That sharp surety of sheer, shadowless shallowness
All came to a standstill like a train on a halt.
I felt something stopping my voluntary vault.
'Take it easy'—I heard the inner self prompting.
'There's a need for reciprocating and bonding.
Perfectionism has high streams of expectations.
Thoughtlessness fills and

A Recent Change of Mind
I once thought of winter as the grave,
Of all the seasons, it wouldn’t behave.
Always bitter, never would it save,
Grimacing and weeping, though quite brave.
Musings of hearths and blazing fires,
Held my thoughts, my heart’s desires.
Warming my bones from Winter’s satires,
Birds chirping from frosty nests despite kindly lairs.
I always felt the chill of the season’s snows,
All the

A Dog
I claimed ---and passionately---
that I'd never have a small dog,
much less one with "poo" in its name.
Not for me yappy Yorkies, shivering Chihuahuas,
shaky Shih Tzus, or terrible terriers.
Give me a wolfhound, a Dane, a mastiff,
a dog with paws like saucers,
a bark like thunder, and a tail like a whip,
(Christmas tree be damned!)
I

Change of Mind
Despite walking through darkness
There’s a light at the end of this
Despite these thoughts
I know things can get better
Always wishing I could be dead
When I need more sleep
Asking for a bullet to the head
When I need more time to think
To think about who I’ll hurt
If I end

Spring Ahead
When time springs ahead, that's when I fall behind.
I can't catch up with that hour; it has messed up my mind!
I'll always be late, that you can count on.
I'm just counting the days till I hear Winter's song.
No, I don't like early dark, but I want my hour back.
There are things I could have done

A Change of Mind
I've been a Christian for sixty years now,
introvert, I longed for Jesus to return
More often my prayers went something like this:
come
come, Lord
come quickly
come fill our thirst
come, spotless Bridegroom
come, take your bride away
come, conclude your covenant
come, set up your earthly kingdom
come, show your pow’r over death and sin
even so,
Lord Jesus, come
More recently, making the Lord's

To Change a Mind
A quiet voice can be your choice
Why yell or shout -- He'll hear you out
To change a mind requires no noise
But seeds of doubt to think about...
To plant them firm, first pave the way
Make soft the ground, with love all 'round
Massage his mind for sev'ral days
With message sweet, alluring sound
Then start to probe, so subtle,

I Change My Mind
Some say I’m picky.
I’m say I’m not.
I won’t eat raw noodles out of the pot,
But watch me scarf them down when they’re piping hot.
Wait a second.
I change my mind.
Today I don’t like noodles.
Some say I’m crazy.
I say that’s true.
I do not care if any of my clothes match, or my shoes.
I don’t even care if

not all of a sudden
we are lost,

Addiction
He didn't read the letters she sent;
That fact was quite evident;
The candles burned and sorrow churned;
Once again she had been burned;
Missing him days and nights;
She writes and writes and writes her plight;
Hope and pray there will come a day;
When he will no longer stray away;
She can't compete with endorphins rush;
He

Pathway to joy

Resolute and true

Our pathway to joy

A life passionate,yet pure
A promise so sure
On pathway to joy
paved gold not alloy
Creating compassion
learning His lesson
Our pathway to joy
paved gold not alloy
