Not sure arithmetic not yet gained
All I know it had been...

It's OkayFor far too long
You just went on your way
Skipping to their song
Down the road, you went
Smiling and giving love
Later discovering nearly all your gas was spent
Nobody chipping in on gas
But they're still looking for a...

Fire below burning, ashes we stoke.
Stoke the embers, free the flames,
Watch the glow from whence they came.

Sweet smell of Pine, Beech & Oak.
Left to dry, cured and...

Our FatherWe carry Dad in this huge box,
four of us bearing the weight,
that of him, that of the box, this very box,
this weighty combination, a veritable sarcophagus,
or so it seems to us,
three brothers and a sister...

Family only relatedThe people who you call family,
Are only people who you are related too.
There opposed to be the ones you can trust
When someone hurts you.
But they might be the ones
Who hurt you instead.
And can't trust.
They...

Father is always speaking
Who is listening

Within a drop of rain
Graceful sky

Our love is fed
Through the tenderness of our bread
Spiritually closer to God

My Gramma s CouchWon’t you please take me back
To the brown couch at my Gramma’s house
With the big gold-framed antique mirror over it
And hand me Grampa’s old transistor radio
Covered in leather with glorious knobs
That brought me the...

The Treasure Map of our FamilyFamilies, Legacies and History,
Things are known,
Rumors told,
And secrets hidden.
Yet hundreds of years pass in time.
The legend passes thru,
The lips and ears of the descendants.
The stories that are passed down,
From generation to generation,
Are given new light...

ON BEING TOTALLY HEALED
Thanking God, His most graciousness, I am all healed.
Totally at peace, my grateful body now feels.
Crushed knee, thigh broken in two pieces.
I howled uncontrollably,with no ceases.
Trauma center,six hour surgery.
Hospital, heaven on earth!
Food for royalty.
Kindness...

The day my children were born, I was so overcome.
With laughter and joy in a unique way.
It was a new beginning of many good days.
It makes...
