Couldn't keep one candy handy
Sweet tooth times a thirty pearlies
Became loose-y goosey gummy...

A child I truly love

But would you read more of me

Slightly slouched sleeping in my sitting chair
Static sounds screaming on screen
Wake me while watching me

To Caleb my 7 year old who challenged me to write a poem about TV...

Jingle bells, Ashley smells
Shirley laid an egg
The truck had a flat
And the deer got away


Hunting days, hunting days
Deers be aware, Caleb has a sharp eye
Packing a hot loaded rifle yeah!

**My eleven year old wrote this...

1. Waking up early
2. Ablility to walk
3. Ashley came to see me
4. Able to pay bills
5. Able to do some house work
6. Able to praise God
7. Warmer today than yesterday
8. Less wind today
9. My birds played with me today
10. Caleb is always a good part of my day-mess and all...

Doris called, "Caleb has another earache
all night he has cried in terrible pain."
Doris asked me to assist for her sake.
Sat down to rest, watch TV once again.
Now in permanent memory~places...

Bob the Builder
Showed up at 
My house one
Fine eve

A little short
But on tv
He looked
A little short

To me
I said, "Well,
Hi! Bob
Please come in."

Come in he did,
Converse with
Him I did,
He told me 

As he went 
Out the door
Granny it's
Me

Caleb from
next door...

Come to me he whispered,

And I was happy to comply,

Love, in the highest from shone from his eyes,

Every cell in my body, responded to his voice.

Be mine I whispered



He nodded in reply

Everything I wanted was in him

All my dreams, in him

Rejoice, 

Taboo of love, is broken...

The important papers are all in the desk file

Love again, laugh again
Don't let Caleb forget me.
I honestly love you
Cling to Jesus, he will carry you through.
Forgive me? I am so sorry...



What I would want my husband to know if I died today.
For Raul's unspoken word contest, thanks Raul for the Challenge!...

Sleep baby sleep
Sleepy baby sleep
Sleep sleep sleep


Heavy eyes droop
Curl body droop
Sleepy eyes droop


Deep sleepy sleep
Sleepy now sleep
Sleep baby sleep


Sleep baby sleep
Sleepy baby sleep
Sleep sleep sleep

Two sticks by the oak
Trimmed and prepared for battle
On a grassy knoll

On the playing field
With one hand behind our backs
Sticks cross left to right

In the round we dance
The fields sway, trees clap their hands
We duel and laugh


(Caleb and I playing in the front yard when he was 4 years old.  Now we duel with 
wooden and plastic swords.)...

Revolutionary insight excells (XL)
for forty days and forty nights
Noah discovered what rain was;
Moses was given God’s ten laws.
Josh and Caleb searched out the land;
Jesus triumphed at evil's hand.
Goliath’s grand boasting accrued;
Elijah travelled in anguish.

Three did not bow down
To the king's idol... music...
Doomed to the furnace.

Seven times hotter,
The flames leaped out opened doors
Consuming king's men

And burning the ropes
Of the three thrown in the fire
Freeing them to dance

Round the Son of God;
They came out alive, unsinged
With no smell of smoke.


Dedicated to Caleb for his make-believe hero, Fire Boy....

Caleb said now therefore give me this mountain
There are still high mountains for us to conquer
All we continually do is find fault_complain
Caleb said now therefore give me this mountain
My pain is bad, hair gone white_let me explain
God give me strength_let me be continuer
Caleb said now therefore give me this mountain
All we continually do is find fault_complain

Based on Joshua 14:6 forward
High light on verse 12...

The darkness is filling up my room
  nightfall is coming very fast.
Today was really filled with gloom
  good thing the days never last.

I look at my closet and there I see
  something glaring at me.
It's not that big but it will do
  it fills me with joy and not gloom.

This small thing..., it is called hope!
  It is always found, even when I mope.
But it's never lost and never goes
  and this little thing never slows....

Injury, sickness and time weakens the fragile human body.
When a person has been fighting
the battle of life, the body weakens with age.
One day we give up the battle and take our
begining in God's eternal kingdom.
Where we won't tire, have pain, be sad and feel loss.
Uncles are there praising Jesus at his feet, 
smiling brightly with no pain nor sorrow 
in a mortal body. No addictions nor diseases 
to cloud the mind and vision....

My heart is shattering,
Shattering like falling glass,
Can't be healed,
Created by my best friend,
Can't heal this shattered torn heart, 
Can't put it back together.

Why can't you see Caleb, I
need you to be here for me,
Please stop this shattering
In my heart?

Please heal these wounds,
Heal this heart,
Make it pump blood,
Again, make it perfect.

Shattered heart,
I'm gone forever,
Six feet under is 
Where my body remains. I was buried alive....

What can be said 
about this man
One that is not easy to be read.
His words come to life
Pen to paper
With poetry to his wife
A loving father indeed 
Nothing else like it
Teaching and giving all they need.
Mysterious is he
What's in his head
Is he thinking about me
He's not perfect 
Mistakes have been made
Things I know he'll correct
He's my best friend
the one I married 
A love that will never end
He has been mine
For quite some time
I find he is still so divine....
