Storybook Tale

I had never lead a good life
Grief and despair always followed me and eloped me in its tightening embrace
Surrounded in a storybook world, i was bound for the optimal role
The role to which my mother, my grandmother, my great-grandmother and all the greats after her endured
I was bound for the worst role of them all:

Premium MemberIn a Story Book

In a story book, I got stuck
and couldn’t find a way to break free. 
What a lousy day, just my luck!
Wondered why this happened to ME!

I looked for little Alice, she 
wouldn't show me her window – dumbstruck!	
Jack Horner, he could not believe
in a story book, I got stuck.

I looked all around and snuck

A Storybook

Has many looks
You may not see all beauty shown
That God leaves there on its own
Coincidence
Is an excuse of distance
The truth must be said
For it echoes within your head
Time our world did see
What gift the Lord Jesus offered thee
More precious as days of old
For you have many of us foretold
Time to rise
No longer disguise
What we see

If Your Life Is a Storybook What Will You Name It

If your life is a story what will be your titled page?
Will it be just a kindle format or a hardback
I wonder what the pages would spell like 
May be of mystery, misery, love, hate, shelter or war
Will  there be children crying on the front headlines;
Riots .Or will there be flowers planted on the

Creating a Super-Hero Part3

The atmosphere can be over there or conveniently 
near, as I look upon God's creation, 
my eyes could begin to tear.
The emotion of nature is like poetry, 
a tongue reciting its truth, 
with photographic memory, 
speaking the laws with living proof, 
as we see, feel and dream it extra sensory. 
Some think I am too

~ A Storybook Princess ~ 

She dreams of princes, princesses and balls 
   A little girl on tippy-toes, not a meter tall
O, the frilly lace gowns she fashions  
   Stitched with threads of heartfelt passion

     A little girl in dreamland enthralled

Daylight's full of pain, tests and

The Storybook

Hold me close, hold me tight,
don’t let me fall asleep tonight.

Whisper songs into my ear,
they will make the stories dissapear

I want to see the world behind our eyes,
and travel far behind the skies.

Take my hand and follow my lead,
Together we will succeed.

God's Storybook Kingdom

Silently falls the snow,
Covering the streets and houses,
A snowman sits in yonder meadow,
Gazing out at the pedestrians,
Walking by, dressed in their winter wear,
The houses are touched with snow,
A winter's delight,
I like to stay at home and look at the snow,
Through my window,
Like a Christmas card.
The skiiers love this weather,
Dressed in their winter wear,
Like a winter

Premium MemberA Nook and a Storybook

A nook in the corner, off to the right..
A haven, housing a hundred homes.
To there, where wakened dreams do hide, 
My wandering mind so often roams.

We read to know we’re not alone.
I’m grateful that I've found this nook -
A home, where wakened dreams do hide.
There is no friend as true as a book.

A book falls

A Nook and a Storybook

Every morning I rise grateful to be alive
  and in my movements from sleep to waking
each step is blessed by the newest day God might provide,
 and I embrace another chance, never oblivious of it's making.

With coffee in hand, I wander through the garden
  grateful of each presented wonder
and I slip into the

A Nook and a Storybook

I rested my head in the nook of aunt's elbow and heard  fairy tales
I travelled to the land of Cinderella's and Twelve Dancing Princesses
Dreamt of playing with friendly talking birds and sitting on big tortoises 
Hansel and Gretel were so real that I craved for their chocolate houses 


As a teen I sought solitude

There was a day last week that I felt alone and sad,

A Nook and a Storybook



His leg was broke and his pride hurt
As he began to read.
That knucklehead he called his hoss
Had stumbled at full speed.

"Read a good book", the doc had said,
"The healin' takes awhile.
Just make a nest in that bunkhouse,
Pretend you're still a child."

He read of a man like himself -
A cowboy with a
