The space between stars is not empty by far,
Where those departed too soon go to rest as angel stars.
Once their earthly life ends,
A new beginning among the stars transcends
All melodies, all poetry, and for eternity.
The stars twinkle the brightest in unity,
Playing chords on the piano or the cello,
Playing their best for those on earth below.
A celebration of memory and love,
A tribute to the lonely, the sad, the forgotten, the beloved.
Their voices in union softly praising from a better place—
Amazing Grace.
The connection is felt throughout the world,
Eyes cast to the sky as warm memories swirl.
A feeling of peace and connection exists,
As tears fall down our cheeks for those we miss.
Timeless,
Priceless—
There is space for you and me at our last goodbye;
Our resting souls will hold a piece of the sky.
Our brothers and sisters nestled among the stars,
Encore after encore, raising the bar.
Their wings flutter so gently,
Surrounding those on entry.
This is what I believe to be living in the space between the stars:
A homecoming, a celestial gathering of all our superstars.
Love
- God loves us so much
The priest purred –
- That He doesn’t count our falls
So much as the times we pick ourselves up
And how much do I love God
After I’ve had to pick myself up?
How much? How much?
Am I upset with a blow to my pride?
To think that God is not at my side –
But am I so proud?
Perhaps I don’t know myself well enough-
It’s hard to fight temptation alone
God keeps too low a profile
I see only one pair of footprints
And they’re mine
They’re not divine.
Carry me God
And love me
Don’t be shy
Don’t keep testing me
Surely by now you know me.
Is it likely I’ll leave you at my age?
Is it likely at this stage?
You prayed for St Peter
Please pray for me
And help me.
Lead me not into temptation
I pray to you
But the devil blocks your ears;
Is Our Lady in tears
While Satan jeers…….?
I don’t know anything.
Dear God - let me know something.
I don’t need to eat the fruit of knowledge
But at least let me know if you’re on my side
Maybe I’m not important enough
Or maybe you’ve got other engagements
Or maybe because you don’t want me to lose my mind
Or maybe due to some technical fault beyond earthly control
Or maybe because of the communication barrier
Or maybe because of the distance
Or maybe you’re trying to see
How much I can take.
Don’t – for my sake
Don’t – for your sake
Please don’t – Dear God……..
If you love God
You will keep His commandments
But if you love me God
Please help me to keep them.
I can’t manage alone
Please don’t let me break again
Lord make me chaste – now!
Don’t let me be the devil’s toy
Please don’t – Dear God…….
Keep a high profile
On the cross of temptation
Don’t let me have to repeat your words
Dear Lord Jesus -
My God My God
Why have you forsaken me?
I think you only said it once
But I’ve felt it more than once.
Don’t forsake me
Please don’t – Dear God……
Help me
Stay with me
Fight for me
Love me
Please do – Dear God……..

Standing at the foot of the stairs
allow one’s eyes forwardly gaze
there’s light forcing itself at the brim
but one’s eyes see nothing just a haze
One starts to force your sight more fully
but remembering the road there is steep
as well as many kinds of twists and turns
so much to combat but keep focus real deep
This attractive light is so persuasive
it draws you upward and forward
no matter how hard this journey may be
have faith in oneself and go onward
This is filled with such symbolism
pointing to that powerful divine light
which attracts earthly beings of faith
to believe moving forward behold the sight
What a sight indeed it’s glorious
this light draws one to come in
to be seated at great banquet fare
there the king of glory will indeed win
I want to go to Heaven,
But I don't want to leave today.
Joking, jesting oft we hear,
Some folks are wont to say.
But truth be told it is no joke.
They really feel that way.
Too much is going on in life,
To throw it all away.
Don't want to miss the good times,
The parties and the fun.
Don't want to see the future end,
Before it has begun;
But if you are not planning for,
The things that really matter,
The future holds no hope for you,
And all your dreams will shatter.
You cannot take it with you,
The things upon this earth.
It's time to look around, take stock,
Of what it's really worth.
Store up your treasure in Heaven,
Where it won't waste away.
For money won't accumulate,
Against the coming day.
When we stand before The Lord,
And wait to hear our name,
The least of all our worries,
Is our toll of earthly gain.
Yesterday
Yesterday: I saw a glimpse of yesterday
All the flood plain was a waterway
My eyes took in bare half sunken trees
Troubles stirred the wispy misty breeze
Seemed then as I were taken back in time
So I should witness that primeval clime
Far into some long forgotten past
Away from here I travelled eons vast
Now I see
It all becomes clear to me
Looks are never what they seem
As I journey, through my dream
Though my years are rolling by
They’re never still, they seem to fly
Here today, but on the morrow gone
To some long distant place anon
Stay the time I will be moving on
Oh, how I am, but a grain of dust
I lived and loved on this Earthly crust
Believe someone of this future clay
In images a gift, they will say
Yesterday: I saw a glimpse of yesterday
Earthly affairs attend each day;
Make what you will of toils and pains;
Browse as you stare with heart that plays;
Restore fond thrill in tact that gains;
Apply fine write in art that swirls;
Choose to sustain the path you take;
Employ and cite the cause of whirls.
Prosper and gain with moves you make;
Align your choice with steadfast voice;
Trust zest to firm zeal in sure stride;
Truth wears a poise that ignores noise;
Enforce a germ as wit turns tides;
Remind your face to know its place;
Nudge healing grace as love fills trace.

(This poem is an Acrostic Sonnet.)
They told me ghost stories and about spooks,
and that not all was as simple as it looks;
I looked into a mirror but someone else looked back,
apparititions may be clever but they don't have the knack.
Of Earthly pursuits and detaching from celestial routes,
who used to be who or are they still the same?
hands were down by the side, let me out of here,
no worry - you're the one who should have the fear.
They sang:' I'm riding along on the crest of a wave,'
was it true that good fortune favoured the brave,
I deliver my chautauqua, does anyone understand?
Like the old days, spoken all over the land.
They preferred: 'Maybe I should have loved you more,'
didn't want anything new, that's what they'd asked for.
Jesus is the beacon of love
That we know will never fade
With his angels that come from above
They are sent down to bless our days
He is the joy that will crave
The potter that muds us into heavenly creatures
His mercy is always sufficient even when we
misbehave
And get carried away by our human nature
He will never abandon our souls
Even though others have walked away
For the Almighty already knows
We need his beacon of love each and every day
He guild us with his supreme security
Ensuring that our days are filled with peace
He's kindness rules the world of humanity
With boundless care that is never on a lease
He is always there watching our back
Lighting our path to heaven with his glowming light
Ensuring we are on the right track
Each time we let him out of our sight
Without his love where would we be?
What would be left here for you and me?
A world faced without hope in pure tragedy
For darkness is all that we would see
He is a symbol of our happiness
A road map to everlasting life
The strength to our weakness
And harmony to all our earthly strife
A beacon of love grows within our hearts
Since the day we all were all born
Giving us the strength to survive what seems dark
Allowing within the shadows a radiant light to
transform
We will never face a day where we are unloved
A day of not seeing a ray of sunshine
Because through the grey clouds that hover up above
Glimpses of heaven are shown that we’ll always be
able to find
Even in times of hardship
Our days he will surely bless
For we are entwined in his heavenly fellowship
That's why he will never ever give up on us
When my days on earth come to their eternal end,
I wish to find myself at heaven's gate;
ever to spend,
if this my fate.
And in this eternal city my beloved dwell,
on my day- those gate's will fling open wide;
of course, I could go down and down to hell,
but, I really doubt that- through those gates I will glide.
A crystal clear river will flow,
and on either side great trees will grow.
And will the streets be pure gold,
as the bible has told?
It is said the walls are made of gems shining bright,
I don't care for gems- flowers would be nice;
they would delight,
and a sky of blue ice.
It is said that there will be no mourning or tears,
no more death and that all sorrow has passed;
oh, to just exist without earthly cares,
to roam this city of gold- so great and vast.
To lay on cool grass green and lush,
watching the heavenly hush.
I will become an angel with wings,
yes, listen for me- when a bird sings.
