Grandma Tee had but one teensy tiny request
She wanted a St Bernard puppy, more than the rest
It’s all I ever wanted she said, pooh-poohing her new vest.
“I told you, “stated her daughter-in-law to her son, Chest.
Chester knew his mother’s wish for an oversized puppy well-fed.
But who has to care for it if something happens to her? He said.
I’ve always wanted a St. Bernard myself, his wife replied.
So, they gave a St. Bernard to his mom, and she named it Clyde.
He asked to see the sunset one more time
Before the vesper bells that evening chime.
She opened wide the window facing West
Then propped him up…his ultimate request;
His eyes lit up then closed, and he lay still
The fading sun withdrew behind the hill.
I am a most well-balanced kid,
so why did I do just what I did?
Flunked from pre-school for one ride
in a Red Ryder wagon on the slide.
True, I am an enterprising tike.
So, I strapped the wagon to a bike.
I charge a reasonable price (one quid)
for every ride and every kid.
When it was time to take a nap,
I told Miss Hot Stuff to shut her yap,
and cut her in on the action,
much to her satisfaction.
So, Mister Principal, my friend,
I propose a happy end.
I wouldn't want to see any trouble.
I'll take my place back on the double.
I have a special request, for I am King.
Messages for me you may not bring
inside a plain white envelope! Whatever are you thinking?
Blue, you say. What about blue?
Well, a nice blue regal envelope might do.
I’ll accept blue, but only if it’s touched with violet’s hue.
Yellow or green? Is that what you ask me?
Yellow is for cowardice. Green could show some envy.
I am King; my colors must show splendor and majesty.
I recline in luxury. Grapes from servants I am fed.
Don’t even mention brown or black be used in purple’s stead.
Bring me a GRAY envelope? I’ll say: Off with your head!
.
A violet grape purple envelope. That would make me ecstatic.
You ask where your freedom is? Do I seem as though I'm democratic?
Envelops not colored as requested will be very problematic!
This is neither poetry, nor art,
It is not an ending or a start,
but in all sincerity, says I,
"May I have a slice of apple pie?"
Searching for that superfine llove
see thats the way it's gotta be
me for you
you for me
what creates night
nights full of roamnce
lovers all around us
a place for us to dance
what suited best
and dressed for impression
ah night for lovers
anwsered and questioned
Cupid put the bow to the chello
stummed ah tune for you and me
sweet kisses
me yourr fellow
I'm in love
say your in love with me
sappy sweet full of jestures
Lovers loving
in each and every measure
That Super fine love
Is what I really need
say it love really love
and thats the way it has to be

Oh God of Creation
Direct
My creativity and productivity
So I can fly out of this nation
Even with slow motion but no stagnation
Thriving and striving globally not locally
Without any commotion but jubilation.
Oh God of Creation
Remove every blockage
Or linkage
Hindering my expansion
Which is my growth
Putting me on expectations
Without getting where I want to be or what I want.
Oh God of creation
I know you will do it
I'm not sure of the timing
But it's certain
For you said in your laws
Ask and shall be given
Seek and you'll find
Knock and it shall be open
Guild me, so I don't fall into the wrong circle
Recycling all that I have outgrown, Amen!!!
Dear God:
I have simple request
From you financially
I hope you'll grant this
Lord, I don't need money
Just give me a job to earn it.
A woman accepts your friend request
That means she accepted your friendship
Not your offer of courtship.
When a woman send you a friend request
It means she wants to be your friend
Not your girlfriend.
When a woman comment on your status
It means she is social not flirty.
When she likes your comments
It means she likes what you post and not you.
Know that if she likes you,
Believe me she will let you know
That she wants to get to know you better.
I am woman: Request?
I am woman.
What does this mean?
Am I the lesser for it?
Should I stand up
for my Self?
How will I live?
Or die?
Or grow old?
Will I lose my teeth?
Or my muscle mass?
Will I lose my mind?
Perhaps I should lose my anger...
I'm angry at women-
For letting me dumb down.
For impeding my growth.
As a woman.

When some mothers "weaponize" daughters to rebel against their fathers, instead of protecting them from psychological harm.
My Personal search for True Identity.
I have heard of that hallowed Pearly Gate,
the one with the locks of jewel and gold.
They say that it is the cast of one's fate
whether they are received with warmth or cold.
I mutter, but then shout with prayer bold.
Dear One, I ask you please speak words hallow
to gently pull me in from the shadow.
angel of my life
as I lay dying this night
won't you come again
Have you looked at the purple house down by the bay?
It is the one with green shutters, a shabby gray.
A terrific value, says that realtor, Mrs. Dray.
She would know and she always has her say.
Okay, then, here’s another idea said May.
Why don’t you buy a home over in Bray?
It’s a cheaper town, I hear people say.
It is a heck of a value, I was told yesterday.
You need a loan? I wish there was some way.
But all of my money is maxed out, said Lay.
Wish I did not have to go, but I cannot stay
For some imbecile is now towing my car away
Our church for common people
Stands here in the yard
Its shining silver steeple
Is crowned with two hearts
With hand on heart, our faith
Does not require a cross
We’re of the gentlest race
Our love is not a loss
You’ve gone, it means that I
Will carry both of shares
Until the end of time
For both our hearts I'll care
In our church I stay
Blessed with our sacred dove
Its clear as a day
I live for you, my love
I have a little request
You know it, I believe
It is no more a secret
That we shall be retrieved
So when I go, please meet me
At that old station, where
We all arrive, and greet me
Just call, and I’ll be there.
Dear Father in Heaven
No one knows me better than you
You know my fatigue
You saw my tears and smiles
Learn more about the battles and pains
I'm going through
Please give me peace
Give me confidence and strength
Disperse my inner confusion and uneasiness
I know you are always with me
I'm willing to rely on you
Bravely face all the challenges of life
I'm praying always to you Lord.
