You Remind Me of My Son
Right this way, if you please, kind sir.
His Majesty will see you now.
Listen close as he tells you how
Productive your deeds really were
Now all is said and done.
“Your parents taught you about me,
And you have loved me ever since.
Others followed to penitence.
The love you shared is your best deed.
You remind me of my son.
You sought to know me as the cure
In a church hymn or in my book.
Blessed are they with eyes to look
For beauty as my signature,
The world my inspiration.
You took your place as last in line.
You gave until you’d given all,
And that is the gist of my call.
Blessed are the poor ones, for thine
Is the kingdom of my son.
The way you treated all you met
With kindness and humility
Produced fruit in great quantity,
Multiplying fish in the net –
That reminds me of my son.
Yes, do come in, believing child,
You have done well as a steward,
And now I will give your reward,”
He welcomed me in as he smiled.
“Look who’s finally here, Son!”
Please, remind me.
Remind me that I am loved.
When I cannot love myself.
Please, remind me.
Remind me of the funny memories.
To bring sunshine on my darkest days.
Please, remind me.
Remind me of my greatest qualities.
To strength my mental muscles,
Against the shadows of life.
Please, remind me.
Remind me that it’s okay to cry.
Only warm tears can defrost,
An aching heart.
Please, remind me.
Remind me that it’s okay to ask for help.
Even if I need you to ask for me.
Only with warm blankets of interest
Can the debt of depression be paid.
Please, remind me.
That I am worth surviving this.
Only through the survival of living.
Can truly flourish and thrive.
The day started off wonderful !
Funny... they didn't forecast torrential rain today ~
Not greatest day for biking !

At others she looks askance
time-tested way to offend romance
Just like the crowd she can’t hang with
her ‘search’ for Mr. Right ~ putative myth
We’re made to feel little.
Like peons on the board of life.
We’re not insignificant and interchangeable.

Here's a thought or two for you
and it's not that I am bitter
but when around and about a look I took
it ground me down to see such litter
tourists travelers neighbours too
please let me remind
think what you do I beg of you
and only footprints leave behind
but when it comes to living things
if the foot were in the other boot
would you like being polished off
therefore only photos shoot
Take Me Home
to the cages of ur arms
trap our happiness inside me until my lungs
can no longer fill with my own hatred
Find my hands
And remind me
What a true home can feel like
Take me home
Remind me, Lord, how blessed I am!
I have no disease, from which to fear.
Nor, do I live to be a winning poet!
I am just average, and I do know it.
A family outstanding, fills my heart with joy.
A grandchild, off with honors, to University!
A Varsity-lettered, humbled, grown boy!
Remind me, Lord, how blessed I am!
I outlived a most dreaded, deadly, disease..
Let me live each day, full of gratitude!
Spare me the sin of writing, lazy platitudes.
Above all, like you, teach me how to forgive.
And with compassion, with joy, everyday to fully live!
Not to take, but with a joyous heart, to fully give!
Should I in wealth and fame reside
And there no “needs” appear;
Remind me Lord, in Thee I hide
Abiding, keep me near.
Should I in comfort lose the view
Of Who it is Who reigns;
Remind me Lord, that it is you
And you, I must proclaim.
Should I in health and strength persist
To think that I’m sufficient;
Remind me Lord, that I’m a mist
While you remain omniscient.
When I in lean and wanting days
Forget how I adored Thee;
Remind me Lord, of countless ways
Your faithfulness restored me.
When I in pain and sickness cried
Desperate for reprieve;
Remind me Lord, you’re by my side
You’re He who never leaves.
When I near death, become remiss
and think of only flaws;
Remind me Lord, the chief is this…
I’m hid with Christ in God.
Let the rainbow nudge you
That there is a pot of gold
If you dare to dream
Dream and discover an endowment unable to be measured
Let the rainbow nudge you
That promises do come true
If you dare to believe
Believe and experience a downpour of extraordinary treasures
Let the rainbow nudge you
That true love will answer any call
If you dare to reveal your true self
Reveal yourself and watch seeds begin to sprout in your soul
Let the rainbow nudge you
That you are never without hope
If you dare to have faith
Have faith and experience the joy of tomorrow even before it unfolds
Let the rainbow nudge you
To dare to participate in your dreams
Eventhough someone treat me bad
Well I don't see him as my enemy
Let him be a teacher
Who always reminds me
Not what to do.
When life gets rough…
When we are feeling its trouble…and its pain…
The flowers are here to remind us
why we need the rain
She reminds me of how to feel
a surrounding of those special senses
I'm defenseless
and it's fine
to open up to her and her shine
like a flower in May
giving all my beauty
for tomorrow and today
Remind me again,
Why I am listening to singing
That sounds so full of pain
And yet also so full of longing.
