So kind of you to bring me into this life,
You're a strong mother and a loving wife.
I asked for nothing in return, yet everything I got,
I'm nothing without the gifts you gave,
That others would have simply forgot.
A dog is a man's best friend, but that's simply not true,
'Cause my best friend is a mother in the shape of you.
You raised me well, and I inherited the good,
You're the one who always understood.
For I wouldn't be breathing and living my time,
Without your bravery, I'm lucky to call you a mother of mine.
For I see fields of blossoms, marching in pink,
All my chapters are together through the joy you link.
You're the rock that keeps me strong,
Your existence I will forever long.
You're a soothing song that I so dearly play,
I will remember your kindness every second of every day.
You're a painting that bursts into a million different meanings,
You look after me and give me all the good feelings.
The day I lose you in the mist of God,
My grief won't be sadness, but the longing will be strong.
I'll celebrate the moments that you will miss,
As I know you'll be watching, giving me one final kiss.

I Love you Kami.
You are great.
For 17 years I have been in Love with you.
Here's to another 17 years.
You are so wonderful to be my friend for so long.
known you longer than everyone except Jamil but he is like an older brother.
I think of you as my best friend.
I could not live without you.
Every day I learn new things about you.
You are so special to me my Kami.
When you called me baby I was worried it meant you were going to leave again.
I feel so connected to you and Jesus like we are family.
I think of you as my beloved but I know you might not feel the same about me.
I will love you as long as I live and even though there is an ocean between Us I love you forever.
Thank you Kami for being my best friend even if it is a secret.
I pray to Jesus about you every day that he blesses you and keeps you protected and loved.
knowing that all I can do is Pray makes me pray even more with Trust in Jesus to hear me and for him to Look after you. I believe the rapture is Soon and we will go home soon we will be together Love.

Thank you God
for the world so sweet
Thank you God
for the food we eat
Thank you god
for the birds that sing
Thank you God
for everything
Thank you God
for believing in you
You made dreams for us
Our dreams come true
You made the world for us
You look after us
You love us
Oh God your love is so wonderful
Oh wonderful
It’s so high
We can’t get over it
It’s so deep
We can’t get under it
It’s so wide
We can’t get around it
Oh wonderful love
this One is for The Mighty Mighty,
A great lovely and most loving Pet Cat.
I called her Mighty when I found her;
A very scraggly little kitten left stranded and motherless
A Lonely Beauty At The Back of Esmie's shop.
I told Esmie Let us look after her.
We were here parents and guardians.
She grew Big and powerful and mighty brought forth 3 beautiful kittens.
One go sick and died, and one was given away to a mutual friend of ours.
Today, June 25th 2026 I got sad news.
She was rolled over by a vehicle and died.
Rest in peace and in pieces dearest Mighty.
See you in the other side.
We'll Meet again Someday, Sometime.
This one is for those of us who have lost a dear loved one or loving pet.
Do not despair, that pet is like a guardian angel watching over us,
Protecting us, from evil, from evil spirits;
With a vigilance and ferocity that is unmatched.
Can’t you see the tears in my eyes,
my dear?
Can’t you see me crying for your love,
my dear?
Tears come into your eyes for me,
I accept.
You care for me,
you look after me,
you worry when I fall ill.
But you adore him.
I am like the food on the menu,
he is like the dessert.
You always keep me on the menu.
There can’t be a menu without food,
but why can’t I be your dessert?
Twenty years of our togetherness,
I am blessed to be with you.
Why do you choose some days
to be alone with him?
Am I the familiar one,
and he the chosen one?
Am I the thorn,
and he the rose?
I can’t be bitter with you,
I love your presence.
Today may not answer everything,
but tonight reminds me
to choose peace and love.
Your spirit comes to read my lines
It shines within the images of yours
You look after the two of us
In silent eloquence, it grows
Like the blue hyacinths that bloom
In spring, I think it was last year
And there we sit in our room
In time, that cannot disappear..
Friday News
Woke up, the brain computer told me
about the cost of vegetables in Holland
I904, when a kilo of carrots was priced at
0'02 Guilders
Got up, switched on the computer
The news was miserable, a rusty tank ship
full of oil floating about near Iceland
Trump had pulled out of the organization that
It was helpful to protect the environment
The oil people had won nature again, can
look after itself
Two of Trump's mouthpieces told how
They were going to steal Venezuelan's
oil, they did so without blushing
My old friend Elon Musk has taken
A kind interest in politics, I wish he would
stick to Mars, I see him on X, talking to
worthy persons about his plans,
hoping the constitution could be changed
So he could become president
Finally, the ICE soldiers continue the
war against the Americans
So, what was the price of carrots again
A busy hospital
They build beautiful hospitals as a statement
of those who believe in the medical profession's elitism
Having an operation here is an act of holiness
The whisper is that the surgeon was so and so
Now, back to reality, they give you surgery
send you to the hospital, where you are to stay until
You can count to ten and walk at least two steps
But no, after three days, they drive you home in
The hope is that relatives can look after you, disturbing
their day, a policy that causes many deaths
On TV, the famous surgeon gets a prize and
The patients operated on are a waste of his time
