We may attain Eternal life
Through the same Christ our Divine Lord

Today, it's time to stand by my Rex hot,
You welcome me with love to your dear spot,
We stand side by side, the world all forgot,
You are bold, I am shy - Together, rule the sky,
Feeling proud, standing nigh - Letting out a pleased sigh,
This time that we get to discuss and share
Is time so precious, much cherished and rare,
So, I revel in your passionate stare,
You own my milky heart - Of your life, I'm a part,
We spend much time apart - Now, that's the Master's chart.
I am the Moon, your Regina, most sought,
Now it's time, my dearest, to say goodbye,
Someday, we'll be seen again as a pair,
Till then, shine brighter, my Sun, my sweetheart.

Walking slow on a forest path
Gentles the soul with still repose
Beneath shadows of the sun’s wrath
Breathing wonders beyond meadows
Destined to silence, so pleasing
Erasing the dark with dawn’s dew
Kissing away the doubt, easing
Sorrows and worries, fetching new
Mercies each morning, heart dances
Birds sing in harmony, enjoy
Their chorus of nature's glances
Troubles fade as trees nod with joy
Sauntering along with the breeze
Sunrays pouring into the core
As day breaks, woody smells do please
Empowering musings galore.

Regina city councillors under fire
For ad campaign’s not looked at prior
How someone did not think to inquire
Check the news if you think me a liar
This province had some odd news breaks
Like the Tim Hortons with the snake…
The moose in the school for hoof’s sake
But this capital city goof takes the cake
I suppose they were hoping for a laugh
Now it looks like there’ll be some new staff
The response may still be half and half
Talked about around the coffee carafe
They’ve taken a lot of flack in the past
Tried to steer into the skid at last
That plan backfired pretty damn fast
A collective face palm, country vast
A headline that didn’t need to be spun
With marketing that cannot be undone
Since the new slogan that they chose to run
Is : “The city that rhymes with fun”…..
** Slogan since retracted by Experience Regina
Still Managed to make International headlines, well done...

I have a Christian Friend, Regina
She had never uttered '':
Not for all the tea in Big China,
As though it could give her Angina;
For life ban her from Holy Sinai...
Fears picked from Born - Again Wood Shiner
And Bible Student Friend Georgina,
Both of them passionate Catholics,
To alter their minds lots of New Tricks:
Among them planting cunning Martin,
His fine point fluent Catholic Latin:
At the last moment to Regina:
Mary won't kill for voiced .

Gentle sway by the centre
The bell tolls for thee
Most Gracious servant
bearing thou to thy deserved rest
And as thou art earthly borne by men of the sea
our prayers that flights of angels
have now carrieth thee to the merciful throne
of our heavenly Father,
through him who hast shown
the Way, the Truth and the Life
Where we commend thy eternal soul –
forgiven, pardoned and received –
to the tabernacle of light prepared for thee
Wither thou goest
may we attain the same gracious gift
when we are callest to lie upon the catafalque
and are escorted to our place of rest.

One thing I must, daily say;
I thank God for EVERYTHING;
This poem of praise;
Must love and blessings sent our way;
Each and every moment, second, minute and hour of EACH day;
I thank God for EVERYTHING;
My brothers and sisters my breathe of life;
While awaiting My Lord and Savior to forgive me my sins and strife;
Ithank My God for EVERYTHING;
all His mercies and grace
for being close and not distant
for ALL His love
For these words we have co-written;
This poem of praise;
I thank God for everything
Hallehuia;
Selah;

you came back around
you gained a bunch of weight
whatever made you think
that I could ever stay straight
your personal problems were
here and there
you almost drove me crazy
prying into my life
I just didn't need it
not the baggage
not the prayers
you stole my friends
and made pals with
their wives
what makes you think you're
doing things right

Regina
From inside – what has been my home – I watch the red, gold, brown leaves
striped bear – by the cold cruel winds – from their life’s force, the trees.
They come fluttering down – like snowflakes – to lay on the ground,
become – as they decay – food for when spring comes around.
To these eyes – tears – to these thoughts, these feelings bring
as changes come and winters melancholy song will sing
of the losses – summer disappeared in a place the sun hardly shone
throughout my lengthy stay, soon it will be time, to be gone,
back to the lush green, warmth, and the place I call home.
A journey, an adventure over – this soul no longer too roam
the highways, the byways - others’ lives and life’s story.
At the end – moments and memories – some small glory.
Tomorrow ? – beyond fear and uncertainty – a new adventure !
