Premium MemberWhere is the Love

Take a look around the world
people hurting everywhere you look
I ask you where is the love 
Today stop think before you speak
Then love can really leak
out to the person hurting on the street

Friends no longer friends
Why is this , because loves gone away
Once walked hand n hand
Now can't look each other in the eye
Children treated cruelly too
Everyone is seeking to be loved

Will you make a difference my friend
And let your love send
Out to others who seek it so much
We can make a difference today
Stopping hurt, chasing blues away
Reach out and touch somebody's heart today


Premium Memberso many do not; that saddens me

there is a reason i called you tonight
i was thinking of you today
memories of tears and smiles
the life we shared
it's up and downs, and now here we are
friends on different shores
waiting for life to close the book
i just wanted to say how blessed we are
long down this path
and we are the best of friends
that is why i called
we found where our love belonged
so many do not; that saddens me

Premium MemberSee ya

See you tomorrow 
Have a good night
Terms of endearment 
Say it in a moment of tenderness 
Mean a lot to people 
Don’t forget to say it 
And say it often 
How is your day?
What’s up with ya?
What’ve you been up to?
How should I say it?
There are many ways to say it
To reach someone to make a contact 
Have we forgotten it already?
Where have you been?
Haven’t seen you lately
I wondered when I get to see you again
That’s a lot of days when I last saw you 
What’s happening?
How is your family?
Things are good?
Talk to me
When did I last see you?
You miss me?
Say it play it whisper it
And it would be like brand new
A new contact 
Just like you never left 
Reconnected 
Strengthened
Breathe life into
“Dry bones” - Ezekiel 37
See you tomorrow?


Premium MemberWhat happened here?

What happened here!?
Hindsight’s forever rebuke
“the toys just jumped out of the toybox”
“Billy did it!”
“Billy wasn’t here and toys can’t jump!”
I was too young to request counsel.
Billy had an iron clad alibi.
He had been in “time out”
When the alleged offense was committed.

I was sentenced to “Time Out”
20 Minutes, no bail
No TV and a cold supper.

My fate never changed
As whenever that…that question
Was asked…I muttered….
“Billy did it”
And yes….Billy had an alibi
And I looked guilty….

I tried blaming the dog once
Until it was proven
The dog had an alibi
He couldn’t pee that high up on the tree trunk
I should’a named that dog …..
                                                     BILLY

Premium MemberTrick Questions

Trick Questions

Our heads are round 
so our thoughts can 
change direction- but 
that sometimes means 
going around and around
in never ending circles

we can start again any time
Distance and time permitting
unless we punch a hole in these 
distant walls that are separating us

I truly want to see her again and again
I really do remember her and regret
ever saying  that I don't 

Trick questions sometimes get wrong answers
Especially on bright sunny days regardless 
of location and time of year

FELICA


Felica, Felica
I cannot help even dreaming
of you my friend

It has been many hard years
But I would be honored to full fill
your long awaited unfulfilled
birthday wish

Problem is we are far apart-
I am not sure where you are
but imagine it's still Redding
and I am beyond Oregon-so if
you could come to me.................
I might some day visit where you are
However, this is uncertain
Nevertheless, I am constantly looking for you
my brown eyed brunette doll!

Premium Member Birthday Blast Midst Single White Rose

Blest birthday blossoms burst out bliss… …breeding midst life-building best glows with gracious generosity… …God-governed that greatly grows toward triumphant, jubilant, vibrant, radiant, abundant… …gratitude fueled by praise-altitude upon faith-fortitude--- kindling loving kindness, igniting caring inspiration as thanksgiving warms friendship and worthy worship for festive existence of peaceful persistence signified by a single white rose.

Premium MemberUnconditional Love


Are you always there for your friends
Can they depend on you
Or don't you care about others
When trouble and strife happens
Do you walk away, or stay
Life can get tough, we need each other
We need that hug
Be that kind of friend, who really cares
Unconditional love is the answer
World is crazy, gripped by fear
Friends need friends to stay near
We all need love, so share a smile today

Friendship

Friend is a word of Royal tone
Friend is a poem all alone
Friend is a word that must never
Be taken for granted and a tree to
Never be cut down

Friend is a phrase that should never be ignored
A term that should be respected and neve
Really questioned even due to a lack of
Understanding

Friends and family are something everyone
Should have- friends and family is something
Even fish have even though they may know it not

Premium MemberTreasures

If not for the wrong I have 
witnessed, I’d have little to
know of good -- discovering
worth by contrast -- 

From chopping wood I
have found, the breaking down
of hard labor strengthens us. 

And love has taught me to endure.

And that friendship wrought is all 
I need of victory.

Premium MemberAt Periscope Depth

Your message arrives at midnight. A green phone lights in the dark from a submarine at periscope depth. ------------------- ------------------- You ask how I've been. You tell me it's raining on the train you're taking to ride home. Just thought I would give you a ring. Is now a good time for you? How are you? Is all OK? Nothing urgent Nothing wrong just wanted to touch base. ------------------- A long pause, someone laughs, a cough nearby tracks clatter a horn sounds like a sonar ping echo Down scope! They're gone What's left? A dial tone ... hmm hum.

Premium MemberIn Search of America

   
              In search of a common thread
                  to stitch up the rent fabric of
                     a nation torn asunder ... 

              A shining beacon to light the 
                   way across an ocean of worry
                      and doubt ... 

              Friendships grounded in genuine care and concern
                     in mutual reciprocity, each for the other ... 

              A return to serving God and one another

Premium MemberRemembering Claudia

Cortez the Killer was playing
As we danced in the dark
Weaving a web of love
A Möbius Strip
Spanning lifetimes
In the dark, seeking light
Always light
Until with a light kiss 
And long last hug
You left us there
And flew 
Beyond beyond
And out of sight
A song once heard
Never forgot
So young, yet so old
So full, yet so free
You lay down your load
Leaving us to gather ours
Returning home silent
In the night
Each alone
In our own way
Dancing a circle
A circle of light.
