Mother your love is
Something that can't be replaced
Your there when I fall
You help me get right back up
You're the hand I hold
You comfort me in the cold
You taught me God's love
You taught me how to love all
Taught me right from wrong
Showed me the right path to take
Showed me how to be
Loving, caring, and patient
You didn't have to
But you did, and I'm thankful
Related or not
I'm glad to be your daughter
You are my best friend
Now, forever and always
I love you momma
Thank you, for all you have done
Thank you for being my mom
~Happy Mother's Day~

Grandma's Pets
My granda went away to sea
For many months on end
He'd travel on a fishing boat
With his brother and a friend
He used to write home regularly
And tell some quite tall tales
About being in a far-away place
When he was actually in Wales
Once they actually went to Africa
He wrote he was bringing Gran a pet
When he came home with a small cage
He'd brought her a marmoset
He opened up the cage
And up the curtains it did run
The curtains tore, granda laughed,
Grandma didn't think it fun
She said it had to go
So to the pet shop Granda went
He returned without the Monkey
And to ‘Coventry’ he was sent
Granda apologised and said
that he would compensate
Next day he bought Gran Tip,a cat
Bimbo, the budgie, feared its fate
He'd run up and down his ladder
And his cuttlefish he would gnaw
He took one look at Tip and thought
'I've not seen you before'
One day he pecked his bell so hard
The clapper fell out onto the floor
No matter how much he pecked it
That bell would ring no more
Bimbo, I’d known since a little girl
He lived to a good age
I still remember that fateful day
I found him lifeless in his cage
Tip lived till he was seven
Many kittens he would father
Mrs Thomas would bang on the door
And get in a right lather
“Your Tip's been paying visits
To my precious tabby Pip.
If you don't keep him in
I'll see to it he has ‘the snip'”
After Tip came Ruff the dog
A cairn terrier with his papers
We would laugh so many times
At his little doggie capers
There were two unbuttered teacakes
Sitting on a plate
Mum went to fetch the butter
She came back to an empty plate
Ruff was looking sheepish
Crumbs all around his chin
The cute expression on his furry face
I could swear it was a grin
We lost Ruff when he was eight
Poison in his canned dog food
If that had happened now
The manufacturer we'd have sued
Grandma put her foot down
And told Granda “No more pets”
She missed them all
Well most of them
But not the marmoset

You've had this dream from the time you could talk.
You wanted to be like your dad and chose the path he walked.
I thought you had forgotten and changed your mind..
Oh, but no you only were waiting for the right time.
I watched you grow up and I hoped and prayed,
I'd never have to say good bye to you one day.
How I wish your dad were here.
To see you go is too much to bear
And now you're going off too...
Dear Lord please don't let me lose you too.
Please watch over my boy and keep him safe while he's away
And bring him back home again one day.
He smiles and turns and waves his hand
And for that moment ,he's my little boy again.
I sit and read his letters over and over again
And he ends each one with don't worry mom I'll be home soon,
But he doesn't say when.
I hold his picture close to me.
His father would be so proud of the man he came to be.
And so I wait patiently,
For that little boy to come home to me.

I once thought the soul of our nation was a mix of colors
A mix of colors shining bright
but I was wrong…the soul of our nation is the absence of color
the soul of our nation is white.
(Which is crazy when you think about it…I mean that statement can’t be right
because there’s not a person in this land who’s DNA is purely white!)
Still, I falsely thought since my life was easy…since I was safe and free
that everyone in America…had it as good as me.
What made me realize my mistake…what made me start to seethe
was when George cried out for his Momma…
when George yelled, “I can’t breathe.”
It was when I watched a white man deliberately take a black man’s life
and I thought, “How can we be so unkind?”
It was when I saw the pain and sorrow grip the world
It’s when I saw the friends and family he left behind.
I am sorry it has taken me so long…to hear over 200 years of pleas…
from the Indian reservations to the slave ships on the seas…
How could I have ignored them?
They’ve been pleading every day…
but now that I have heard them…I know they’ll never go away
Nor should they…for it’s time we listen to their pleas
It’s time we make some changes…before our time is gone
It’s time in the battle for our nations soul…to decide what side we’re on.
And perhaps we’ll find when we put an end to their over 200 years of hell
in saving the soul of our nation
we’ll have saved our souls as well.
February 11 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Numbers 1-2
Key Verse – Numbers 1:19 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
FAITH IN GOD WHO COMMANDS US TO DO HIS WILL
God commands us to do His will with earnest commitment
Always abiding within His covenant’s agreement
Around His enclosing ordinance-fulfillment
While by faith we enjoy our ministry-involvement.
God commands us to do His will with sincere endurance
Always thanking His salvation of deliverance
Around His protective forbearance
While by faith we trust Him and His assurance.
God commands us to do His will with response to His truth, doctrinally sound
Always going forward toward higher ground
Around His security where we should be found
While by faith we labour and in His work abound.
God commands us to do His will with revived gladness
Always shining with His testimony’s holiness
Around His uplifting standard showing His greatness
While by faith we walk along His paths of righteousness.
God commands us to do His will with obedience to His instruction
Always praying for His help in our service-determination
Around His forgiveness for our sin-confession
While by faith we repent, clinging to His compassion.
God commands us to do His will with cleansed heart
Always following His direction against pride’s dart
Around His sanctification in our spirituality right from the start
While by faith we seek His approval for our stewardship-part.
God commands us to do His will with submission to His teaching
Always learning from His Word through preaching
Around His wisdom midst His counsel we are beseeching
While by faith we serve Him by His love’s stretching.

Oh but did you know
Or did you ever believe
All the faith i put in you
Was also into you and me?
If I know you like I think I do
Then, well, perhaps you did
But after all yiu put me through
Are you surprised at how I acted?
Always tried to do you right
But somehow I was wrong
I didn’t even try to fight
Cuz my feelings are still strong
I hope you know
I didn’t want to go
But for the sake of my own mind
And maybe also for my heart
I had to leave my love behind
And it’s tearing me apart
I’m a mess as it stands
Torn down into shambles
No longer picking pieces up
I’ll leave them in the brambles
I’ll build new pieces, shape them up
Replace the once I lost
Much like the ship of Theseus
Is it still me?
Was this the cost?
Let’s praise God Almighty every day
With thanksgiving songs along the way
As children having good words to say
Knowing that the Lord hears when we pray.
Let’s obey our parents; such is right
They direct us to walk in the light
And never be afraid of dark night
While the Saviour glows with grace so bright.
Let’s learn from teachers, being our guide
In writing with pencil we can’t hide
To read for word-meaning alongside
Counting numbers even in our ride.
Let’s sing* with our dear friends joyfully
Playing together so peacefully
Sharing and showing kindness gladly
As God blesses us bountifully.
*Psalm 95:1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

sharing in God's grace, and love, and mercy,
even in sharing in the midst of our hurting,
places us open to love deeper to see you,
watching your love move in everything we do,
breaking free can seem uncomfortable when so conformed in our ways,
in the balance of our own protection we sometimes move farther away,
trusting more in his protection moves us,
through the dangers that try to illude us,
sometimes too much is enough to see,
at times God pulls us away in prayer to intercede,
strongholds can stand right up in your face,
to surround its atmosphere with no breathing space,
to block your concentration of loves true cause,
the distance must be to leave until it is gone,
parts of the body working the visible eye cannot see,
the internal makeup of his purpose to be,
the beat of the heart, the sound in its call,
that make up and orchestrate the sound of its song.
I’m hating myself for the person I’ve become
I’m different to all And not just some
I swear a chimp would succeed more than me
isolation my best friend I believe
Intelligence is there but I live like I’m dumb
progression always stalls
I guess I’m a chump
I left it to fate when I went for suicide
it was chance pure chance
I really should’ve died
there’s no reason at all
that I would be found
I thought I’d be placed
6 foot underground
So I live with this hate that I have for myself
I will never have a family with this mental health
I must have been Hitler in my last life
Cus nothing good occurs just misery and strife
Left-handed right handed ADHD
depression self loathing and anxiety,
I’m sick to death of how I be it keeps me inside
every day I say I’ll fight then I just hide,
I haven’t got a drive
I haven’t got pride
How can I fight
with desire to die
how can you make life
when you ain’t really alive
then I ask,
If I feel like this I should be proud I survive
Trying to finish me off but can’t stop my stride,
And if I ever meet depression in the physical form
I will inflict more damage than a biblical storm,
I think the anger hands me an angle
but unsighted what good is a candle
senses blind and the brain sits tangled
but the body fresh able not mank or mangled,
in a fight I fight if I can coordinate
if you move and think you can harness strength
Sighted unsighted you ain’t damned or too late
If you can move and think you must operate
change your world if it’s bringing you down
climb up it laugh and clown around
Cus everybody is destined for the ground
when everyone stays no thoughts sight or sound
so taste the air the nectar and flair
allow the dreams that are not there
smell the roses get caught on the nettles
And if life is bad refuse to settle
I’m not thinking of the person I’ve become
but what I can build what can be done
I miss the people the scenes and sun
why am I sitting when the option is run
why am I thinking of what is and has been
wiped the hate and mean clear so the knocker is clean
set out and enjoy the dreams achievable
always be positive because the air is breathable
Reach for the impossible however unbelievable
I stand unbeaten and therefore unbeatable
