Don’t take my word for it
I don’t know anything, she said
She thinks she’s being clever
Our auntie Mamie Bread
Her husband keeps his wisdom to himself of course
He likes his blueberry pie, and she can be a vindictive source
I heard this, that, and the other, but it might not be true
She repeats all gossip, our auntie Mamie Sue
I am not an expert, but I think you’d better find a different friend
I have heard he is a drinker, and his behavior goes beyond the bend
To get her to loosen up or give anyone a bit of a chance
Would mean to reconstruct her, as she does the gossip dance.
My Uncle Charlie sits in his chair, not speaking, gobbling his ice cream.
It amuses me to think that once upon a time, she was my uncle’s dream.
They get along terrifically, because he takes his opinions to work.
Shares nothing with his wife, careful not to irritate or irk.
Now, as I retire after 50 years and look back on my life amid the well wishes from friends and the realization that this old body can no longer handle what my brain still yearns of me, I have no regrets for I have won this race. I have won because my adventure bucket list decanted from a fast pace to a slower pace of painting, writing, hunting, and fishing, taking the place of horses and playing cowboy leaving only the motorcycle to soothe the rush. My focus has drawn more to Jesus and sharing with others his abundant grace and love. He really is the Prince of Peace. It is the peace of knowing that the God, who encompasses all the universe, knows me by name, hears my prayers though a sea of humanity is issuing prayers also. He sent the Christ to shed his blood for me and the Holy Spirit to live in me, though I’ve battled him to go my own way. His name is written on creation, is seen in the stars and his image lives in mankind and nature on this earth. He is the first and the last, he is the Alpha and Omega he is the Godhead which is mentioned three times in the Bible and verifies John 5:7 “For there is three that bear witness in heaven, The Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit and these three are one. and there are three that bear witness on earth, the Spirit, and the water and the blood.”
Jesus told Peter that He would send a comforter [ the Holy Spirit.] to them. Only God could do that.
It was Yahweh, though I fail him, that let me survive those stumbling steps of my life. It is Christ that
Is truth in his glory and atonement, through his blood, he is the perfect lamb of God.
Romans 1:21 Because that when they knew God, [ Jesus] they knew him not as God, they glorified him not as God; but became vain in their imaginations and their hearts were darkened. Romans 1:22. professing themselves to be wise they became fools.” This reminds me of what we see now in America.
John17:4 I have glorified thee on earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
John 17:5 And now, O father, glorify me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee
before the world was. [A witness to the Deity of Jesus.]
Do not take my word for any scripture I defend, judge for yourself.
This group is always pounding so hard on the doors of hell
With so many ungodly abominations I couldn't even begin to tell
They are the big demonic bully in their self created abortion room
I can only wonder what the Lord says about those who assume
First Baldwin, now Romero and all their highly tax paid cohorts
Often argue in favor of *********** before the U.S. courts
For murderers they constantly fight against the death penalty
But the complete innocence of the unborn they just can't see
In the hatred of all evil I increasingly sense their stark presence
For a group to fight God's unborn rings of injustice so immense
But this misguided wayward group has forgotten just one thing
The complete and utter justice that our Lord Jesus is going to bring
Look at our schools without prayer and what they have become
In todays world now Americans are considered just flat out dumb
But don't just take my word for it all you need to do is look around
The damage done I would admit in that God can so rarely be found
The ACLU will continue to go to court fighting against The Almighty's Word
But in your continuance to distort God's truth will become increasing heard
You will soon begin to quickly wither away just as the Lord said it would be
Maybe not just right today but how long will He allow such insolent blasphemy
"It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible."
George Washington
"Oh the A.C.L.J. is such a better way
For of God's Law they do not betray
And as they stand and fight for the truly, truly innocent
Surely by God Himself the A.C.L.J. was sent"
Me
I hurried home and wrote it down
The best poem written yet
But exactly where I put it then
I seem to now forget.
And once the rhyme was written down
Out of my mind the meter flew
I can’t recreate this masterpiece
Where I put it, I wish I knew.
This was the one to win me fame
A Pulitzer prize at least
Pure genius never before achieved
On which your eyes should feast.
I looked everywhere with much despair
But the poem cannot be found
I know it’s absurd but take my word
With this verse my fortune was bound.
If I did it once I can do it again
Write the best poem in history
So I sat down with pen in hand
And got this stupid poem out of me.
Do We Sleep to Dream or to Forget
Do we sleep to dream or to forget is the question I get asked a lot from my clients
Whom I council, for you see I am an unlicensed psychologist but a sarcastic psychologist at that. (Don’t tell anyone is my only disclaimer). Anyway, to answer your question about sleep, I always thought sleeping it was something everyone did like a natural reflex to shut down and detach from all the repetitive bull-crap they experienced throughout their day. I mean come on! Lets face the facts we all need to sleep even if you don’t have a bed to sleep on or in what ever never mind I said that back to the question.
I would say to the best of my knowledge and understanding that’s a common fact that not only do we dream to sleep, ah; umm I mean sleep to dream but we also sleep to forget as in that house party you had when your parents were on vacation.
Or that break up from that psychotic ex-girlfriend who was half stacker and half bipolar activist always coming up with reasons to monitor your every move. Like your work schedule, classmates, on the attendance, mid-terms, final exams and every phone number in the your contacts list in your phone, plus the number of followers and friends you have on ever social media site in existence. Or that time you and your friends got into a nightclub with fake ID’s that were poorly made and ended up getting so drunk that you forgot your own name.
So there you have it folks I would say yes we do sleep to not only dream but to forget. But don’t take my word for it no seriously don’t because you are dreaming and I am just a random voice in your head and you are most likely tripped out somewhere thinking to a licensed therapist but you’re not.
Your hangover will begin in 3,2,1 Wake up!!
Have you ever considered
the many cases
where family albums
show strangers' faces?
Some of those faces
may well be your own
standing off in the background
apart and unknown
But don't take my word for it
See for yourself
Your album of strangers
is up on your shelf
There's your concert photo
with your best friend Zack
But who are those people
hanging 'round in the back?
You have no idea
and neither does he
But there they all are
for your family to see
I'm sure you have others
but one is enough
in proving my point
which you cannot rebuff
Imagine that maybe
in some obscure book
on a library shelf
where people will look
You've made an appearance
in a photograph there
and many have seen you
while you're unaware
Just an unwitting subject
in the camera's eye
captured forever
as you happened by
Out there in the world
I'm willing to bet
somewhere there's a family
perhaps in Tibet
Viewing their photos
of trips from afar
and they're wondering just
who the heck you are
You're standing right there
in plain sight of all
right next to their grandmother
Ling from Nepal
You took the same photo
with your companion
near Ling and her family
at The Grand Canyon
They're here in our pictures
as we are in theirs
All over the world
we're caught unawares
So, why do I ponder
this subject so deep?
Oh no reason really
I just couldn't sleep
3/1/19
She held a smile to her lips
Almost like a flame to a Pall Mall
It crackled for a moment and went out
Sometimes her smile can be like the wind.
It moves when you want it to stay and stays when
You want it to move.
I could tell you about it but in truth you
Must see it for yourself; Wait a second, I have
A snapshot in my wallet. That's okay it's not
A very good likeness. You can tell it is her
Mouth but you can't see the smile. You'll have
to take my word. Her smile left a trace in the
Photo-booth at the old five and dime. Every
Woman in town used the same booth as her smile
Because it made them appear beautiful. I may not
remember
Her name but I'll always be able to recall her smile
These holidays, like a whirlwind romance…can’t catch my breath. Hustle and bustle of parties and gifts. Figuring it all out, the list, counting it at least twice. Birthday parties piled up, tissue paper scattered like snowballs or tumbleweed. Rolling the dice, flipping cards, cookies and cake some more…some more. New Year’s Eve brings a birthday not a hollow ring, nor cutesy bells. Initialization of the New Year, more of the same, as my baby was sick during December - first her youngest then mine.
born eve of new year
wore tax exemption onesie -
written fifty times
I exaggerate, but the shirt cannot be found for evidence so you will have to take my word for it. Don’t call me a liar, for too many folks have their “pants on fire,” if they can find their pants, for they even misplace their cocaine.
These holidays I run through like I am running on hot coals, still thinking of others. One fun annual event is going to the Melting Pot with my sisters. The one time of year we disappear from our lives, dress up and just laugh and laugh some more, cheer ourselves as if we were little kids, dripping with chocolate treats.
we’re fond of fondue
we share with a wine bottle -
bonding us sisters
So, is it over after the first? You might think so, but then the third. Yes, the third is time for more cake and ice cream. I’m creamed…tired, that is. Frothing topples over into January. I can’t win, you know. I’ve tried. So somewhere down the line, I have to get my waistline back.
sense of humor kept
up-down I drift on the raft -
days of endless froth
I am not complaining. Life is full. I’m retired but the calendar is full. There is time for slow down. I don’t hope for that yet. Meetings set, beta book readings, one year Bible…ahh…in the beginning…for somehow it tickled me to read as I bought my book at a library sale and started with October, thus I just finished Revelation.
going on and on
sorry for the long poem -
Happy New Year friends
It is everybody's duty
To see all the hidden beauty
That shines bright if you just look
Everyone is a big open book
That is full of different chapters
Some have pain--others laughter
So please read someone before
You think they're a snooze and bore
Or ugly not worth your time
It would be a shameful crime
If you pass up a masterpiece
Because your eyes do not see
A best seller, you just judge
Take a moment--do not smudge
The pages of someone else
Putting them high on a shelf
You might be missing something great
Come on, do not hesistate
You could lose out on a friend
If you skip right to the end
Not learning what's at the start
Take my word--give it a shot
It is everybody's duty
To see all the hidden beauty
That shines bright if you just look
Everyone is a big open book
That is full of different chapters
Some have pain--others laughter
So please read someone before
You thin they're a snooze and bore
Or ugly not worth your time
It would be a shameful crime
If you pass up a masterpiece
Because your eyes do not see
A best seller, you just judge
Take a moment--do not smudge
The pages of someone else
Putting them high on a shelf
You might be missing something great
Come on, do not hesistate
You could lose out on a friend
If you skip right to the end
Not learning what's at the start
Take my word--give it a shot
