Premium Member My Gift From Jesus-

~"This is a true story. A testimonial on Monday December 21st 2020 at all around 12:00 p.m. I was driven to a specialty clinic by my son in this pandemic. For examinational biopsy. I lay on a hospital bed,  thoughts of thinking of dread. In my mind and heart I said
by Jesus stripes I am healed.  positive thoughts I paraded disagree messages supposed to have been sedated yet in my consciousness I'm aroused. I am in the arms of God  I now spy the drip bag containing sedation looks like water yet still I didn't go under.The procedure done and in Jesus name. A day later doctor so elated test show how I was (I am) cancer free. The doctor he seemed to be in awe shocked elated as if beyond it was beyond his belief. He was so elated with Glee he called me. Calls as though he was freed
from a bond of slavery. For you see he told me I was prostate cancer free! When in reality he seemed amazed and shocked this is from a physician a doc Now all I can say is hallelujah this day Before his call he even left a voicemail saying how he was amazed.
For you see I honestly do believe by His stripes I am heal"

 Jesus is the greatest gift of all Hallelujah
To be alive in Christ is the second greatest gift of all.

Happy Tears

Happy Tears

	To my dear son Louis, with love

It's about midnight, and outside darkness blankets ev'rything.
There was an elephant sitting,
On my chest, abundant pain and sweating,
Grasp for breath, I chewed down some aspirins.

911, ambulance at the door,
Like a cat, quickly move and act, 2 young gentlemen,
Kind and smooth, pressure checked, IV in vein.
Racing to St Francis ER, through the darkness curtain.

Room 106, RNs, Dr., assistance, and more, ready:
Pressure checked, temperature obtained, pulse counted, blood taken,
Chest X-ray, wires and tubes connecting, like a robot.
1 to 10 where's your pain: eleven.

Louis, my son, by my bed, observing with anxiety
Worry written in his eyes, I can see.
5am, and I, lying there like a short-circuit robot.
Deeply concern, Louis still watching over me.

Turn on TV to push away my awe feeling
Louis curled up in the chair, completely consumed by tiredness and perturbation.
Suddenly, my tears wells up, rolls down, and wets my pale lips,
Taste like ocean water, I, too, love you, love you wholeheartedly, my dear son.

Words of God overcame my pain and I realized what the Lord implies:
"Whoever believes in me, will do the works that I do." *
Love is not what one says, nor cites, nor recites,
But what one's done that shows: I truly love you.

And love shall move mountains, 
Brighten hope, sprout forgiveness,
Soften stone hearts, bridge differences
Exalt peace, enlighten darkness.

And love shall shed many happy tears, surely,
As I, an worldly father, in ocean of pain and in time of lowly,
Yet my happiness wells up with my tears, abundantly,
When the love of my son touched my soul so deeply.

How one would know for sure God won't shed any joyful tears.
He is Love and He is Divine Father.
Have faith, He, too, shall cry out with happy tears,
When His children "do the works" that He does.

(Jan 28, 18)

The Pain of An Empty Window

From the outside looking in
I can see as plain as day
What few others ever thought of
I guess I'm cursed in that way

If you look out
I bet you'll get to know 
The pain of an empty window

It held a nose streak and some paw prints
That now live in my heart
I watched my grandma and my grandpa
Wave every time that we'd part

Watched my son learn to play ball 
Not so long ago
That's a broken, memory I'll have you know
The pain of an empty window

I remember the first winter
She ever spent with me
We sat there under blankets
It was better than TV

40 years of Christmas lights
Strung out in the snow
Now how I miss, their soft romantic glow 
Through the pain of an empty window

There was a nose streak and some paw prints
That now live in my heart
I watched my grandma and my grandpa
Wave every time that we'd part

Watched my son learn to play ball 
Not so long ago
That's a broken, memory I'll have you know
The pain of an empty window

Saw my last child off to school
How did time pass so fast
Its hard to see what memories
Are reflected in the glass

If you look out
I bet you'll get to know 
The pain of an empty window

Life Is Breath

"Breathing non-stop have you given it a second thought?"
           "Have no ego. You are nothing without air"
                  - Quote by Author
                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frantic phones to hospitals
       No bed anywhere
                Oxygen was in short supply

I saw him gasping to  breathe
        He was dying in front of me,
               I witnessed helplessly

Didn't call neighbors 
       Who will help a home quarantined corona patient?
               What can anybody do?

A big gasp and he was gone
             Officials came, took his body away

Alone staring at walls 
      I cried, cried and cried 
            all by myself

How will I tell my son,
      now at my sister's place,
             that his father is dead?

How will I bring him up alone?
       Wish I were working...

I remembered how in darkness of night
       He would whisper in my ears "I love you"
                That love gone forever

That murmur in low voice early mornings
        careful son should not wake up
                  Now who will love him that way?

He would often say " Don't worry! Enjoy life."
        If only he had been more careful and cautious
                 If only he had not gone out

I dawned to me
     We are not the brain we are proud of
           nor the heart that can be replaced
                neither other body organs not visible
                       nor the body parts we can see

We can live sans every thing
       except breath

Once it stops, we are gone!
               Others look at our body with a sigh

Breath is  life
         Breath is everything
                 We are nothing without air

Phone rings. It is my sister
       I lift the phone up and tell her
                  "I am a widow"

 "Mom how will we manage." I heard my crying son utter
         Said "Don't worry, have faith in God. Mom is educated"
                    But I was not sure, not confident

Body numb, mind blank, still in shock I sat staring at darkness around 
         aware the light of my life is gone forever
                    struggle for survival has just begun

A Message

A message

An angel sat on the window ledge
Wanted to come in which was understandable
It was a cold night. Walk through the window glass
for heaven’s sake, you are an angel
the angel refused it would ruffle its wings.
He opened the window and let it in and since it
was worried about its looks he took it to be a female.
The angle denied this insisted it was sexless, God
had sent her (he refused to call it It)
The message was.: It has come to my attention 
that my son Jesus is an avid reader of your poems,
and as you know, he isn`t well since the crucifixion
has become left winged (pardon the pun).
He forms his worldview according to what you write,
so be a good man and tone it down a bit or else!
God is your friend.
So why didn`t he say so himself? Well she said
he doesn’t like to interfere with human affairs.

Happiness Through Grace

Joy everlasting!  Blessings manifested
The crowning glory of why I visited
Heart overflowing with amazing grace
From the Father, sustainer of the human race

He gives the word, go reach my son
Out of this place my will be done
Spared his life, from sins decay
Enshrine with your glory, O Lord I pray

Emissaries of the Lord, took up the strain
Words and deeds will not be in vain
Heart, body and soul, in preparation
In readiness for the great convocation

Put an hedge around your son dear Lord
Your blessings in copious showers afford
Satan’s charms and wiles confound
The Holy Spirit’s presence there to abound

Blessed Lord, for this opportunity, I give you praise
Thanks and blessings, continually to you I’ll raise
Overshadowed by grace redeeming love
All praises to God who reigns from above

Premium Member Day of the Storm

children's laughter
 on the beach. . . 
storm clouds gather

  My husband, I, and our two teenaged children are enjoying a picnic when we feel slow heavy droplets that develop quickly into an assault of angry pounding rain. We rush to our boat to return to the dock twenty minutes away. My son and I are alongside the boat on WaveRunners we have rented. As the wind strengthens, mighty moving ridges came rolling before our eyes. Fear grips my heart; my son begins to sob. I call out,"It's ok," trembling in the downpour.

 All at once, one single billow heaves itself completely over our boat. My spouse and daughter desperately try to bail out water from the sinking boat as my husband directs my son and I to race to the shore for help. I now truly understand the reason for the name WaveRunners, for I am running for all our lives as my heart beats to the rhythm of the lake’s surging waves. 

  Help comes, but our rescuers drag our boat out of the lake upside down, wrecking it. Having just had a nervous breakdown months ago, my husband cannot bear the destruction of this prized possession, provider of his sanity.

our children's cries
as my husband blankly stares. . . 
my unheard pleas

Obsession For Perfection

My obsession for perfection drives me crazy 
When I wash dishes
not a single dot of dirt is acceptable to me 
When I teach my son every word in chapter
I must understand thoroughly 
This goes with every job I do 
It makes me slow
I have no free time in hand 
I wish I were not like this!

There are many who are not perfect 
They are living healthy and happy 

Is perfection good or bad?
Are we not made up of dust ?
Will be we not mingle with it?
Is not everything temporary ?
Why not take things lightly ?
These questions I ask 

Along with my nature and confusion
Life goes on...
