Premium MemberA Mother For Life

A person one loves

Mom of one and all that strives
O'er and under the bed who searches for you
The one that lits the candle 
   and sleeps with you
Honor thy Mother for life
Even without lost pictures 
  or unknown origin of life that bow
Remember who you are

From her, you survived and lived
  what you are and how
On and off the roads you hop and grow 
Reels of trials and challenges you blow

Life lived with or without a mother
In your heart you needed a sister or a brother 
Forever a memory you keep and live by
Every night and day you ask, "Why?"


Premium MemberIn the Eyes of Our Progeny

Mark Toney's Picture Prompt


How quickly time transforms lives
from youthful days of innocence
to having lived through decades
of happiness and burdensome trials.

Fortunate, if in the eyes of our progeny,
we are appreciated as family.
If they see us and hear us,
it means we've earned a place in their lives.
One, that someday will be only a memory,
hopefully one that makes them smile.

Premium MemberEchoes of Love and Activism

In the heart's embrace, love finds its home,
Where souls entwine, no longer alone.
A promise made, a bond so true,
In marriage vows, we start anew.
Through trials faced and battles fought,
Activism's flame, a fire sought.
Voices raised, for justice's call,
In unity, we stand tall.
Love's gentle touch, activism's might,
Together they shine, day and night.
In love, we find the strength to fight,
For a world where all is right.
So let us walk, hand in hand,
Spreading love across the land.
With hearts ablaze and spirits bright,
Love, marriage, and activism unite.

Premium MemberTrials and Sorrows of Jesus

Left His Heavenly Kingdom to be born to be born with humble manger with Animals
Was a target for murder from the moment of His birth

Accused of leading and deceiving people
Was arrested as a criminal

Knew that even His own death would not be able to save whom He loved
Was criticized by His own Methods

Was insulted and called names
Was rejected by disciples

Anticipated His upcoming great suffering that even His sweat became drops of blood
Although pronounced “Not guilty”, was chosen for death by a mob of people over a true murderer

These are Jesus Christ’s trials and Suffering
He suffered all these things for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven


Premium MemberThrow-Back Bliss

Family bonding times decades ago Can never be buried in oblivion Since they can be fully resurrected Via uploaded delightful pictures With hashtags, “joyous reminiscences.” Here am I succumbing to “throw-back” bliss Of our home’s mirth with Dad, Mom and siblings Warmed by love's glow in praying together While feasting on God’s blessings midst trials Thanking Him for peace, faith, mercy and grace!*
*2John 1:3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. September 28, 2018 3rd Place, "Lines of ten that remind you what it was like back then" Poetry Contest; Sponsored by Silent One; judged on 10/5/2018.

Premium MemberTree of Life

The tree of life grows limbs above,
Its strength began in roots of love...
Each limb's branches may grow apart
Yet venture not far from its heart.

Concentric circles share great worth
In trials it has endured since birth,
Having weathered many a storm
Defined by bent or twisted form.

Still beauty reigns throughout the years
In steadfast growth with hopes and fears,
As earthlife seasons come and go
A will to carry on and know,

Though treasured limbs may break and die,
Newest growth reaches for the sky.
Seedlings will spread, divine and free...
In honor of the mother tree.

Premium MemberStrong Women

My family is a family
Of strong women
Of that there is no doubt
These women 
Have withstood 
The challenges of their times.

All of life’s trials
The worst of the worst
History has not been kind
Deaths, rapes and murders
They have had to live with daily
Live with on their minds.

Unexpected circumstance
Have tested my ancestral women
And they somehow survived
And somehow they managed to live on 
Sometimes all alone 
And to go on and to thrive.

And now in the Halls of History
They can stand up and be counted 
Among those women
Among the best of the best
Those who are still considered to be
Strong Women.
