BEYOND THE FACADE
In the realm of human desire, not all wishes are granted.
A soul worn weary need not succumb to desperation's weight,
But rather, find solace in stillness, and await the divine hand.
When turmoil strikes, the heart must be a fortress, brave and strong.
I've wandered through life's spheres, and witnessed the human plight,
Nothing ravages the soul like loneliness,

The Meadow of Merriment
We’re going to the river this lovely afternoon
I don’t want to look like a complete baffoon
We’re going to have the time of our lives every single night and day
I wanted to say “what’s up” to you, but like buzzing bees, I sway away
The meadow of mere merriment — I am dependable upon
I rely on the

Year-Round Merriment Nursery Rhyme
Join us in our year-round merriment
Blest by God for great life enjoyment
Toward exploration-wonderment
As children, learning with excitement!
January allows us to start gladly
February greets our hearts so brightly
March moves up our steps forward strongly
April shakes our hands to share kindly!
We keep ourselves great with May sunshine
Doing well in June… feeling mighty fine
Always hopeful midst July time

Keeping Hearts Warm
Like unfolding tents the clouds roll cold
As drifting snowflakes cover our road
We traipse with icy crunch keeping pace
Through cascading dusk the sun hides its face
Where the winter owl knows the silence of deer
We venture home to a hearth of good cheer
Where our voices will lift from the serenity outside
As the smell of chestnuts and cider

Early Morning Merriment
The mist of the morning bathes the riverbanks, whetting my appetite for nature
I sit here letting the early morning tease my ears with the sweetest harmony, as
little angels flutter on wings, darting to and fro in early morning merriment.
Oh, this morning is in motion, swaying to the music of nature, as I breathe the crisp

Merriment To Misery
Frolicking freely through forest so green
I muse at creatures flitting around me.
To no other human can they be seen;
Their magical mischief is so carefree.
They twinkle and flit with laughter and glee.
Excitement and fancy have brought me here,
Carefree and joyful, my eyes start to tear.
I wish for this feeling never to end,
But I know

Creating Memories
Laughing and giggling into the night
Whispering enchantment so alive
Calling to the moon, so vivid and bright
Souls are sure to find how to revive
Whispering enchantment so alive
Melody of joy caressing gentle hearts
Souls are sure to find how to revive
Loving so thrilled with hope it imparts
Melody of joy caressing gentle hearts
Merriment embraces so rich and strong
Loving so

Christmas Merriment
Christmas spirit will prevail with blest merriment
Since its Author – CHRIST – is sovereign every moment
Thus, the occasion’s worthy jubilant sentiment
Should be dominant midst pandemic-caused curtailment.
Christmas will reign, though bereft of Santa Claus’ involvement
Through God’s love and bliss --- propping giving and caring enjoyment
Overcoming selfishness and pride’s enslavement
Reaching-out gladly with prayer-empowerment.
Thankful* for Christmas’ meaningful fulfillment
We

Unbridled Merriment
Love to laugh and make others laugh too
Unbridled merriment is foremost in my zoo
Nothing's changed
