Premium Member Thanksgiving Nursery Rhyme

For life’s breath and sunshine so free
we thank, You, God with earnest glee…

Enjoying the beauty of light
our smiles show thanksgiving delight...

Good foods we eat so as to grow
thanks so much; in good health, we glow…

The strength to move around each day
makes us thankful by praise-filled way…

With loving family, we’re blest
thanking* daily is always best.

*Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Premium Member The Big Bad Wolf Nursery Rhyme

The Big Bad Wolf Nursery Rhyme

The big bad wolf is on the prowl.
Those three little pigs have made him scowl.
Will he charge the house made of bricks;
or huff and puff on the one made of sticks?

Little Red Riding Hood, now makes her way.
Will that wolf now have his day?
While on the path to Grandma’s house.
The wolf puts on Gran’s cap and blouse.

He tries to hide those big bad eyes.
His big sharp teeth await their prize.
Little Miss Hood will spoil his fun.
She’ll make the wolf turn tail and run.

Her protected path has let him down.
The wolf’s big smile turns to a frown.
Will the wolf get help from friends?
I think we know how this one ends.

Premium Member A Special Gift

Your heart shines like the brightest star
Guiding others in the dark night
Offering a place to take flight
Spreading hope across miles so far

With all your words to spread your joy
Reached by all who choose to listen
To the way you make life glisten
A sacrifice, not to employ

Your purpose is shining and clear
A path so many can follow
Bringing us through tomorrow
All the while knowing peace is here

You help us to listen and hear
Clearly you have a special gift
To overcome pain and uplift
Showing never give into fear

Premium Member Little Gray Filly-Nursery Rhyme

On a stormy night a baby horse was born.
It took many tries to stand on her own.
Her mother warmed her and by the morn
she could walk in the stable all alone.

How proud of her daughter was mother, Dilly.
Hearing the news, the farmer's children quickly ran.
They smiled at the sight of the little gray filly,
especially the farmer's daughter whose name was Anne.

"She's going to be so much fun," Anne said. 
"But we need a name for this little lady."
As if the filly agreed, she nodded her head.
From now on she'd be known as 'Shady.'

When the other farm animals heard the news,
they had a party by the old red brick wall.
The chickens and pigs danced to Maggie's moos.
and Anne gently hugged Shady in her barn stall.

Premium Member My Long Walk Home

T'was freezing cold and I struggled in the heat
I was pleased I'd put warm gloves on my feet
I shouldn't have been out on such a cold night
High in the sky was the sun and shining so bright. 

Not far to walk home now just fifty odd miles
Minutes later I'd be home, my face full of smiles
My brother was with me and she felt the cold too
Shouldn't have worn shorts, her hands had turned blue.

Went into an ice cream parlour for some yummy ice cream 
It was served piping hot and gave off clouds of steam
I fancied some cold soup and it was served up on a plate
And I used two left handed chopsticks, it tasted great. 

Then my cell phone rang but the battery was flat
It was my wife who wanted me to buy her a cat
She said don't tell me which one, I want a surprise
But get one with four legs, a tail and green eyes.

Called to the pet shop and asked nicely for a pet
The man said sorry we've no live ones in yet
I've got two stuffed dead dogs or a puffa fish 
If you don't want it as a pet it will make a tasty dish. 

I got out my credit card and paid him with cash 
He said don't handle the fish it will give you a rash 
Me and my bro left the shop and went off on our way 
I was so worn out, it had been an eventful day.

Standing Alone On This Beach

Standing alone on this beach 

Standing alone on this beach
remembering the sun greeting the horizon,
draping an aquamarine skyline
in swirling watercolor ribbons
enticing twilight to make an appearance

and the seashells we collected
while leaving our footprints
beneath a cheerful summer moon
sharing warm kisses as
cool water caressed our toes

where you drew a heart in the sand,
and we stood inside promising
to love each other forever,
then counted every star in the heavens
until the dawn returned

Now a desolate shore scattered with
mother of pearl shards
weeps beneath cold clouded skies,
saturated by a sorrowed surf of
 wistful waves retreating from

the broken heart I’ve drawn in the sand,
one set of footprints within,
no longer counting stars,
not caring if dawn ever returns,
standing alone on this beach . . . 

without you

What a quiz-filled existence! 
Blunt surprises form essence;
Flowers full-bloom yesterday,
Fade and fall and mix the mud today...!

Kith and kin sweet-tasting once,
Turn bitter and cause nuisance;
Glamour gone face flits and flips,
Stiffness surrounds nerves and bones; pain grips;

Wealth is spent in waning health,
Secrets shared often in stealth; 
Riddles in internal bounce,
Restlessness, often, patience renounce...!

I take things, yet, lightly... yes,
Why should live in ceaseless stress?
I've designed my pretty tomb,
My coffin looks like my mother's womb...!

It's happy reunion when old friends meet
                     Their faces glow and it is easy to forget the clock
                            It's about having a good time together
                                   and have lively conversations

                    They laugh together, have the same kind of humor
                                and enjoyed each other's company
                               Friends for life, genuine and honest

Premium Member Moon-Cheered Fascination

Oh, moon*, you're indeed a great fascination source
Drawing me nigh toward milky way's truth-out pours
Enthralling my heart for lofty adventure doors
To solve various enigmas of celestial course.

With your mysterious, wondrous transforming phases
Moon, you truly delight my bewildered senses;
Yet as a child, I have learned that your change-causes
Are being moved by One stronger than all forces.

*Psalm 136:9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Premium Member Spring Unlatch

In charmed slumber throbbing waves break away 
Mist of evenfall, fading from the day
Closing against vast sky into the spring
Moon's brightness. Umber earth and blue birds sing 
Beneath its coverlet. Tulips, poppies, 
Morning glory, moss rose, spring grace copies
Close to encumber their paddles for slumber
To open in the morning by the number
Fragrant gold flaming honeysuckle vine
Twining entangle braid tendrils entwine 
Around garden's heart breathing once anew
A spider's web in tears form morning dew
Daisies bright, butterflies flutter lithe reach
A romance of nature a kiss to each
