The Grandfather clockThe grandfather clock
A grandfather clock sat in pride of place in my childhood home
I would sit at its base and watch the magical movements of the pendulum
I would talk to the clock as if were a close friend
As I grew older our friendship continued
One evening I tossed and turned in bed, sleep eluded tonight
laying there...

Tribute to my favourite summer beerBartender, bring me a Pink Fuzz
in a tall frosted glass
It's going down velvety smooth
so cold refreshing and citrusy
love its grapefruit aftertaste
that lingers on the tongue
It makes my head feel light
it's magical and so delightful
brewed to perfection
achiveing mild intoxication
Pink Fuzz a celebration in a glass
cheers ~ summer is finally here !!...

Why does the sun sympathizeWhy does the sun sympathize with the man in the black shirt who is delirious with success?
That looking at the window is the door to all happiness
For him, an effective way to achieve this is with a pair of shoes
And put the gold in his shirt pocket
The sun was at my toes as...

Whispers Beneath the CemeteryWhispers Beneath the Cemetery
Is love undead?
Is love fate?
Is love just holding on—
a ghost that won’t abate?
Does death mean I must give up on us,
let go of what was?
I stare at your grave—
hours slipping by—
Will you resurrect?
Will you rise or die?
A strange peace lingers—
a burden I can’t lay down,
The silence, the stillness—
haunting and profound.
I feel you...

MY HAIR HONORS GOD
If my hair could talk to God above miraculously
It would express praises and thanks to Him joyfully
For His grace, mercy and love shown constantly
Flowing along His provisions’ banks abundantly!
Yes, my hair would delight in God for cleansing water
Reminding His Word’s sanctifying power
Along His forgiveness that’s ready to deliver
Repentant souls seeking it through their confession-prayer!
Indeed,...

A letter to the futureGood morning there
Here I come..
With nothing in hand
But promise of the better you
I lament no more…
The torment of the past
Remain in the past
Here I pass my greetings.
I wax thinking my yesterday was the worst
Until I heard you are the best
Then I got perplexed by your possibilities
I got possessed by your peace
Here...

For meFor me
I know what I can do,
So, I shouldn’t doubt myself, but I do
I like to think that I’m the best
But sometimes I finish behind all the rest
Belief is one thing that’s hard for me
So, I need to open my eyes and see
That I am the best is what I say
And carry that thought through...

My Children God Talks Through His WordWhen problems come, I have nothing to fear.
Because I know my God is always near.
I seek comfort from Him through my prayer.
Because the Bible tells me that He cares.
I refuse to surrender to the voices in my mind.
That say God will not help you this time.
Instead, I choose to think and say "I BELIEVE!"
In my...

Both in heart and body
Whosoever meets or knows her
Always experience genuine love
Her tenderness is so contagious.
Wherever she enters
She always lights up the room
You can never kill her vibes
Because she never forced vibes
She doesn't need the hype
She's not...

Self-Lovebe
gentle
with yourself
like fragile glass.
you're only human,
imperfectly perfect,
we're all a little broken.
it's no use dwelling in the past;
abandon regrets and mistakes there.
whenever you fall down, you'll rise back up.
no matter how i n f i n i t e s i m a l,
anything troubling will come to pass,...
