Premium Member For my parents, I am the son who carries their prayers on his shoulders like wings of light
For my parents, I am the son who carries their prayers on his shoulders like wings of light, in a silent dance of stars gathering to build a universe worthy of their love. They say they're lucky to have me, but I'm just an echo of the love I was bathed in. For my younger brother, I am...

Premium Member SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDERS
“Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy. Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry. Sunshine on the water looks so lovely. Sunshine almost always makes me high.” John Denver wrote Sunshine On My Shoulders in 1971 long before I started my own family… and I’m sure he never dreamed the effect his song would have on me. When our children were...

Premium Member OUR SHOULDERS
May we be blessed to understand our shoulders are meant to carry the weight of our children’s worries… that is one of our parental powers… And just as blessed to understand our children’s shoulders were never meant…to carry the weight of ours. ...

Premium Member Some evenings weigh heavily on the shoulders of the soul
Some evenings weigh heavily on the shoulders of the soul, the sunset spills like tea dripping onto the floor of time, and the birds, once lively metaphors of playful freedom, now seem to march toward an unknown horizon – the abyss of my room is silent – they no longer sing serenades to me, or perhaps I have simply forgotten...

Premium Member SHOULDERS
When I think about the way I was created…every part of my body is enchanted… from those parts I rely on every day…to those I take for granted. Take my shoulders for instance..there was a time when I was young and I looked in the mirror…at my shoulders I would scoff. thinking their only use in life is to...

Let's Leave It There
You left in anger and despair with hand grenade words thrown in the air how much you didn’t effing care although I knew that wasn’t true a heavy door had slammed shut behind you so I looked up to the clock for a minute then began to stare at shrugging shoulders shaking heads scratching hair all looking at your big empty chair with not much left for me to say except that our time was up now we...

Sitting On Shoulders
I know everybody’s done it when they’re around a small baby, your pick them way up in the air, make your shoulders into a seat. It usually gets a small squeal from an excited boy or girl, we make them feel like ‘big’ people, and help them glimpse the wider world. They wrap their arms around your head, or ball tiny fists in your...

Premium Member On my shoulders, a thought as thin as mist has settled
On my shoulders, a thought as thin as mist has settled, A silver statue in the night of thoughts, cold and mute. In its marble stubbornness, it stood frozen, Not a strand of hope, not a spark shook it. In the loop of time, like an endless sequence, A silent...

Shrugging Shoulders
Great Britain and their beloved colonial states, struggled and determined each their own fates, foes in war, but united in common civility, unlike Putin's abandon of simple humanity. Ravaged and weakened, but firm on their feet, Ukraine lacks no courage in evil they meet, and those who would claim, "It is not our fight." abandon Heaven's calling to do what is right. ....
