May we resolve as this new year begins…
to be an ambassador for peace…
a love and kindness envoy
and try everyday to be responsible
for someone else’s joy.
Climate Change Envoy
Haiku: Tom’s opinion
10/31/2021
Eighty five Limos;
reduced emissions meeting;
bunch of Hypocrites!
E-nvoy extraordinary
D-oes what's best for the nation;
U-nder the Lord God's guidance,
A-id is brought to fruition.
R-epresentative of the country,
D-ealings are made with another;
O-verseas Filipino workers will truly be in proper order.
M-inister plenipotentiary
A-ccredited to alien government
N-aturally ranks between
A-mbassador and minister resident.
L-egate is sent as messenger to meet the task of an emissary;
O-fficial agent to accomplish the job of envoy extraordinary.
For bi-partisan gift to Hillary,
Trump might name her envoy to Tripoli.
If she flubbed for heavens sake,
"What difference would it make!"
Except some more well-deserved pillory!
Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired
A faithful envoy brings healing
his word
perfect medicine
his gesture
reassures
his face
draws a conclusion
Chance did not cause this bird to land
so boldly in this holy place.
No, he was led there by God’s hand,
a well planned picture of true grace
for those interred in this small space.
Even most casual passerby
will slow his pace and feel a thrill
or wipe a tear from out his eye,
amazed by noble bird so still,
intent on mission to fulfill.
