They Died For America!

Two airplanes slammed hard
into the Twin Towers in Manhattan,
and one into the Pentagon;
but the fourth one didn't reach its target,
because the passengers fought...
bringing it quickly down!

They died for America,
fighting with courage
the ruthless enemy;
and they rebelled in rage
to preserve liberty
with their heroism
and true patriotism...
they died for America!

Call them heroes with the kindest hearts,
call them the warriors of our days;
to me they are the freedom fighters,
who couldn't be taken by fear
and inhumane brutality!
They were far braver
than we thought they would be...
and we should glorify their deeds!

They died for America,
for the country they truly loved,
to give some back for her generosity...
not being afraid of dying in vain;
they died for America,
only imagining the joy,not the pain,
that their rebellion would have caused...
without doubts or uncertainty!

They died for America,
for all dreaming of a free life...
leaving the fears far beyond;
they died for America,
for the unborn in their mothers' womb,
so that they could see the flowers bloom!
We still wonder how they did all this...
by trusting in their friend,God!


Premium Member The Place of Pets

("Pema", 2011, original oil on canvas)

The Place of Pets

The place of pets in the home,
in the family, in our hearts
is different than that of children.

Children are better for humanity,
the group, the future,
but pets are better for the soul.

Pets never really grow up, 
they love unconditionally,
and they die more often.

And that’s a good thing,
because when they go, after giving so much,
they take a bit of us too.

Where does it go you may ask?

I don’t know, but last night at dinner
I had a vision of being greeted at Heaven’s Gate
by all the pets I’ve ever known, 
but no humans…

Summer Blues

Summer Blues 

Wish you were here to ease my fear, 
So near but so far wherever you are, 
My heart's reaching out to the stars, 
Oh vast sky, you're kind to this lost soul, 
Can you promise to heal my aching pain? 
Can you warm up this old, cold spirit? 

The grit of autumn pushes down the sun, 
As the flowers have lost their fragrances, 
Blue lagoon, you swoon over the horizon, 
Far beyond my eyes, vast and wide yonder, 

Over the azure sea and wavering water, 
Along the shores of golden beaches, 
As the tides roll on white sand beneath, 
I can hear the foaming waves rollicking, 
Blasting against solid rocks, 

Between a long path with cypress trees, 
I stand and wait, and waiting for you, 
Where the sun sets, far beyond the blue sky, 
Long ago moon, soon will turn to rainbow hues, 
Summer blues, I am still here waiting for you, 
Summer blues, I am here, dear sweet love...

Premium Member God's Great Blessings

Amplify God’s compassion and love,
Biblical messages are bound to impart;
Cooperation among brothers and sisters,
Divine reflection in action and in words.

Exudes enthusiasm in charity,
Fortified towers of prayers nights and days;
Gestures of sympathy to the poor and lowly,
Happiness at times of sorrow and disgrace.

Inducement to attend church services,
Just treatment and respect for others;
Kinship affection to friends and strangers,
Law-abiding child of God in all places.

Miracles of Jesus working big or small,
Noble act of kindness to dreary souls;
Open-arm, open-heart with listening ears,
Perseverance that begets passionate cares.

Quick to rescue those who’re helpless,
Repertoire of our God’s mercy is boundless;
Soft replenishing words of wisdom,
Thanksgiving is telling about God’s Kingdom.

Unity and Harmony with one another,
Victorious union to the Son, Holy Spirit, the Father;
Working hard to spread good news with devotion
Xperiences with the Lord in spiritual breakthrough.

Yearning a renewed baptismal vow in consecration,
Zeal on doing goodness, more blessings come to you!

 Whatever our gifts-a loaf of bread, a tiny coin, a mighty blessing, or an amazing talent-each gift matters. Whatever our gifts, our gifts become miracles when we share them with God and with God's people.

Premium Member I Luv U

                   Whenever the sun 
               Doesn't shine in my day,
       You somehow make it bright again
             When I look into your eyes.

                 When I see you smile,
         The light in your eyes and smile
              Makes me not miss the sun. 
        So divine, your all-consuming ember!

         The world is cold, as cold as ice
      When you're not near, and I crave you
        Just like drought does cloudburst.
            That's how much I love you.

                     If you ask me... 
             To hold up the twilight sky,
      I'd gladly hold all the stars in it, too,
                 Because...I love you.

Premium Member He's Always There For Me- Herald Angel

(Herald Angel) 


If 
I call 
Him He's 
Always 
With Me 
In Him I do have the best friend that I could ever meet.Without him I'd be lost 
Jesus is his name and when I'm blue He lifts my spirit and gives me peace 
With Him by my side I should no fear anything 'cause He cares for me 
He's the best friend that anyone could ever have in their life 
He lifts me up 
He protects me 
He makes me strong 
When things are wrong 
With Him I can 
Be just myself 
With Him pass test 
He loves me best 
With Him I want 
To be each day 
Because is my 
Best friend for sure 
I'm so happy 
He's with me each 
Day and all night 
God's my delight!

Remember Me

Memorial Day Tribute 2015

A soldier gives his life in battle his spirit is set free.
His body finds a grave his soul cries remember me.
Remembering this moment that I first met my doom.
Remember me, a baby forming in my mothers womb.

Remembering first steps I took remember times I fell.
Recall my dreams of heaven and each moment spent in hell.
Remember mountains that I faced before I answered duty's call.
Climbing trees and skinned up knees I dreamed I'd climb them all.

Remember times of courage lessons learned and lessons taught.
Remember me for good times before my last fight was fought.
Remembering your freedom and that freedom don't come free.
I ask so little in return when asking you remember me.

Not a body in a grave somewhere, a wooden cross stuck in the dirt.
A sister or a brother too with U.S.A. stitched on my shirt.
Remember so it's not in vain the life that now is through.
Remembering the blood that spilled still runs red white and blue.

Premium Member Last Moments in Time

Those times when you were late,
As the seconds ticked by,
I relied on you to save me,
You let me down and
When I looked into your eyes,
I could finally see the pain through your tears.
Don't worry, baby,
It's my time, it's always been my time.
You know it, and I know it.
You can't stop it.
You can't save me.
It doesn't matter if you were late,
Only that you are here with me,
On this day, at this time,
That you came even when others didn't.
I held your hand, looking into your eyes,
As the light disappeared...
In those last moments in time,
I told you I've always loved you with all my heart,
Please don't go, don't leave me.
I can't live without you.
Your last words were...
I'll see you in your dreams.
I love you, see you in the next life.
Then the lights flickered,
Just as the life in your eyes grew dim and 
You were gone.
