Alive to the things of God,
Our new birth is a gift from above.
A special relationship we have sought,
With the One who gives us love.
To share our knowledge of the divine,
A commission we hold so dear.
To spread the light that will shine,
And cast away all fear.
Our spiritual gifts and abilities,
Are given so we can impart.
To those who seek the possibilities,
Of a life beyond the heart.
This way, our knowing and experience,
Will live on after we're gone.
A legacy of faith and reverence,
To inspire and carry on.
The other day,
a beautiful cat appeared at home.
Very friendly.
Looking well cared for.
The cat decided to take
our patio as a place to sleep.
Every morning,
He meets us at the door.
We found out from the neighbors.
There is a family that takes care of him.
From time to time, we feed him too.
We don't want him to depend on us.
He’s a free wild cat who loves the forest.
He’s independent.
Does not belong to us.
One day, He’ll probably disappear.
We must not get too emotionally involved.
He is free and so are we.
Special relationship has grown.
Love without attachment.
We'll step on anyone,
Who's trying to take ours
And we are waiting for a special relationship
Without trying to understand the reasons.
To go upstairs,
We betray our loved ones
We have lived so many years
But they didn't understand these ideas.
For the sake of money we are not afraid
Destroy someone's life
We are not afraid of anything
And all thoughts were gone.
We lose our wisdom little by little
But we don't feel it because of the lies
And we're ready to go
To keep warm in the night of carousing.
The weapon is already loaded
And in the hands of us long ago given
Money is all messed up
And forgiveness is not given to us.
Are you ready to kill an innocent
And destroy your soul?
The price is high for a reason
Choose: money or your soul?
Sometimes I wonder if I project my own feelings too much
onto the wind, the clouds, and the bees…
If I have a special relationship with the birds, the flowers and the trees?
When a bird is sining her morning song and I hear that melody
could it be that she’s just singing…or is she singing just to me?
When I walk by a flower in full bloom…though she’s meant for the whole world to see
in that moment I walk by her…does she stand a little taller…just for me?
As I work my way from branch to branch…climbing to the top of a tree
does she make it this easy for everyone to climb…
or does she make a little easier just for me.
Sometimes I wonder when it comes to birds, the flowers and the trees
If as humans we are more alike than we are apart…
I wonder if every flower has a brain
every bird a soul
and if every tree has a heart.
We are brought up to believe this is foolishness
It’s an impossibility…we have been taught…
but projection or not when I am with them
it’s hard to believe…they do not.
A special relationship that only families enjoy
Is a bond that is invariably hard to destroy
A sister like you deserves the grace more
With all good health I wish you score
You guided me through rough and tough
Have been my sister interestingly enough
My sister shine on her special day
As you look younger by the day
On your birthday in life and beyond
In everyone's heart you grow fond
Her love is the world's best treat
I promised a life of trust and support
The Greatest Commandment…
“Love your God with your
heart, soul and mind.”
The is the first great
commandment you will find.
“Love your neighbor as yourself,”
is number two .
These commands are what
is asked of you.
The law, the prophets hang
on these commands.
God loves you! He makes no
harsh demands.
His death on the cross—
the life that he gave.
He wants your love for him and
your neighbor, in how you behave.
He created you to have a
special relationship with him.
He doesn’t want you to be
burdened down by sin.
Reading his word will give you
wisdom in every task.
This will give you a desire to
obey him that will last.
Confess all sins to him now—
your life he will restore.
Living for Jesus—who could ask
for anything more?

We as woman often hear that we are in a mans world,
but that is insane.
Men need us more than we need them.
We share this world together.
Sometimes we lay roots in others lives,
and share a special relationship with our children and friends.
We as woman are as independent as men.
We are responsible and intelligent too.
We strife to be the best that we can,
and we make a difference in others lives.
We can be bold and strong.
We can make our own living.
Although it means to work harder and faster than ever before.
We as woman are like flower seeds when it grows
and blossoms it is truly spectacular
We live life,
We love life
and we blossom in our lives and we express our feelings in artistic ways.
we live in reality, we strife for what is right.
But most of all,
we dream for dreams come true,
but only if you believe...
(Roots by Frida Kahlo-1943)

Always right....
For years the struggle has gone on in my head
and in my heart. Hurtful words and misunderstandings
drove us apart. my best friend, gone with
only an ache left where that special relationship used to be.
Always right,..
I had to be right... In my youth, no room for compromise.
She was much the same..I think we saw each other
in our heart's mirror.
Always right..
I deciding to reach out and see if something could
be salvaged from the past., told only that she was gone and
had been for years.
Always right...
but oh so wrong. A meltdown burning with
regret will accompany me forever...
For the Meltdown contest..
I’ve always felt something for you, but I think that you know that. We’ve always had a really
special relationship. You could always finish my sentences, and you knew just what I was
thinking. You had a way to make me open up and let go, like no one else has. You always
treated me like a princess, and granted all of my wishes. You were, in a word, Perfect.
Then one day, it all fell apart. I wish I could know what you were thinking, how you felt. How
you saw it. I honestly thought we’d be together forever. You were just so special….you were
unlike all the others. Previously, I thought I’d been in love. I couldn’t have been more
wrong. You made everyone else look like lions, and you were the gentle lamb.
I hope you know how special you are to me, how I hold you close in my heart. No matter,
what, there will always bee a place for you there. Always. Just as you told me you would
always love me, I too will always love you.
I havent had this feeling in a long time
The only way to let it out is to pour it out in a rhyme
It feels like butterflies emptiness and anxious inside
Its like the best feeling for something you will never really get
You think its right in your hands but its just a trick
Playing with your mind, making you wanna stay set
Its a feeling that you will never forget
Because the special relationship you thought you had in the bag you will never get.
You were all so close, yet far away
The allure you chased down the whole way
Off on the highway leading us to no place.
You waited a lifetime to find someone true
There was a light shining brightly
like the stars in the heavens above,
That light guided your way, giving you love -
A love to forever stay!
You struggled down a long rocky road
As one, on your own,
Yet, somehow, you were never truly alone,
God was leading you, he carried your load!
Now two have become one, one in the love found in each other,
A love that shall truly last forever.
In this relationship, this special relationship,
In which God has built,
You shall make memories,
Memories that you shall forever treasure.
God chose two -
Now, two shall become as one,
One heart, One life, One marriage
To shine bright as the stars above,
Bright in God's love.
Love, honor, trust
These things are a must,
Give your hearts and your marriage to God
For you shall know a love, a love unlike any other.
