~Everyone’s a Poet~
When loves gives us a call, we have to answer the door. Part of that love it seems is the need to pour out our souls onto paper. Is it because we are so inspired by the feelings, we have that we can’t resist it.? Or, as I believe, is it the fact that we know our partner is going to go goo goo ga ga over each and every word. Because love is also blind and deaf. So go ahead, write away, even if it’s girl, you make my heart twirl. Trust me on this one… they’re going to love it.
Gretchen, your fetchin
Debbie, you ain't too heavy
true love blinds our eyes

grumpy grumbling grungy gregarious gremlin Greggory
gratefully grasped grainy grandma’s green grapes in glee
greathearted Gretchen greeted greenhorn grim-reaper with gee
grinning, groovy, grown grandson growled among grimy greenery
grandiose grim-reaper granted gratuities and graves gracefully,
grubby? Gruesome? Graphic? Gruff too Grandparents greedily agree.
gruff, gripping, grotesque, gratifying gravestones, grandiose in glee
grumpy grumbling grungy gregarious gremlin Gregg no longer will be.

I've written this poem for a friend who passed away this weekend...
RIP Gretchen. You will be missed. Condolences and prayers to your loved ones. Blessings, love and light.
The best of us

Now that you're gone
It feels like a light has gone out
In our world; in our Universe
Stopping time; stopping hearts
You were the best part of us
You were my best friend
Beloved and remembered
With fondness and mourning
Your suffering did not go unnoticed
By God and His Angels
They've taken you into Heaven
To be in God's warm embrace
Our family has lost your sparkle
But Heaven shines a little brighter
We have faith that we'll meet once more
When it's time for our souls to take flight
Now that you're gone
The colours feel less bright
The moon looks so much sadder now
She mourns the stars at night
You remain the best of us
A star lighting up the heavens
We will hold your memory close
And let our love remain neverending

~In placid thought her beauty lies in wait
for what the future holds in dormant trust.
Such youth a squander, time cares not her fate
for loveliness displayed is merely dust.
In pomp attire, to woo a fancy’s eye,
embellished with the floral gifts of spring,
the pigments fade beneath the azure sky
portrayed upon the hills where swallows sing.
Though she will be adored but never see
this suitor without hope for love so sweet,
her aura beckons, posed eternally,
and ever will I hope her heart to beat.
A graceful brush strokes beauty into art
but never will it paint a beating heart.

Poem #47
Jehovah God Created Colors
The fact that he created man in his image was not a mistake. Like a rainbow, he shapes us with his creation of all colors. No one can take my place as the creator of the heavens. Jesus Christ is the only one who can replace me.
As the sun rises, we ought to praise him and give him glory for that; he is the one we should look up to. When you see your reflection in the river, you see Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.
I just wanted to let you know we must focus on him more than ever and make sure we love each other as Christians.

02/15/22 Lady Name Moonlight
Do you remember the lady's name Moonlight from La Vee Paris? She was a model and she was christened as well. She adores the God of the heavens, who is Jehovah, God, as well as his son Jesus Christ. She has a gorgeous, strong brown complexion. Additionally, I learned French and English so I could do everything through Christ's strength. Just like Moonlight, she believes that she is bound to God by faith. So, Moonlight whom is a lovely woman; have a strong faith and the strong foundation, so seeing this lady example she shows the wisdom of her faith. So, remember as believers have to seek the Lord he is knocking at the door in your heart. Lady Name Moonlight

Seasons of Spring
Consider the sight of evergreen trees and levees falling to the ground. The spring season is here, I love it. Spring makes me feel calm, peaceful and humming.
Nature raised up my mind, soul, and inner man as spring filled. His unknown time is fast approaching, and the seasons are speeding up.
For that says just know the seasons is a time capsules, we as Christians cannot rest no time, we have to seek the LORD awhile we still can he is coming shortly unexpected. So be so ready for his appear in the awaits.

“Bitter Sweet”
Imagine that you have a loved one who has been called home to the Lord, but that person is still inside you. Occasionally, you wish the time capsules would come back in time, but it must happen at some point. Sometimes I wondered why I was being punished by the Creator of the Heavens? In the King James Version of the Psalms, it begins, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall rest in the shadow of the All-Powerful."
Basically, Christians should spend time loving and cherishing those they cherish while they are still alive, and inhaling the fragrance while they are alive.
My Eternal Father is always there for me, and that is why "Bitter Sweet" is my favorite.

Like a ship we must learn how to navigate and chart our course by developing and committing to showing up for ourselves. Even during the flat or low season. Starting now, we as human beings must keep faith within our hearts. Even if the ships of old did not reach their destination.Yet still, God’s creation has to develop knowledge and commit to their purpose.
Just like a ship that moves into the water during the flat season, remember Jehovah God Almighty is within us; and He is the Captain of the old Zion Ship. The scripture says, “no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him.” Let us build a bridge over the waters because the Kingdom of God and the return of the Lord Jesus Christ is at hand.

(based on Franz Schubert)
wordless at this moment
virginal in a closed room
dark as a berry
Gretchen maid of wood
webbed as an old barn
eyes drops of glass
that seek a window
empty of steps, cast
ing a look at
all that brings no favour
or slowly turns the wheel that
darkly bares the thread;
the cloth of love forsaken;
heartpace of an empty view;
a sort of end, cut.

you know how people are and how things go in life you need to prepare and be
stern and happy through out life and just know things that you need to know and
do something about them.....sometimes god says things to you that go right to
the core of your heart and you are one again with yourself.
