Been two weeks ago;
Lost my heart, wallet, ego...
As I remember
How I died so long ago,
Then I straightened my ego.
Do not….
I repeat…
Do not not not not not
Have brand new carpeting put in
The same day as a rain storm and an 8-year-old girl's slumber party.
I am usually the fun-loving, happy, excited birthday girl’s mama.
I was yelling my head off within hours as thirteen girls tromped mud
onto my brand new carpeting
in the dining room where the sliding glass doors were
through the living room
up the stairs and into the bedroom.
My eight-year-old daughter straightened me out.
Remember Mom, all of these girls are not as smart as I am.
I can tell them and you can tell them, but they are excited.
Some of them have never been to a slumber party.
They need a bit more fun and less drama from you.
I stopped yelling at that point, feeling badly about my behavior.
Christmas Day Is Due Again
On Christmas and every other day
To God have things to say so pray
Thanks for love that you gave me
And Son who from sin set us free.
On top of tree remains a single star
So when Wise Men came from afar
Jesus's birthplace would find way
Near Bethlehem someone did say.
In my each happy hour and minute
God and His Son will always be in it
And soon when time finally does end
To us precious Son is sure to send.
We tell several stories of Jesus's return
How He said things with voice so stern
When you will follow Me forevermore
Joy is there in God's department store.

Causeway bent refractive source
temporary detour charted course
Rainbow bent in times of old
straightened pathway pot of gold
Fore who can make the crooked straight
distinguish difference love and hate
Bridge the gap for migrating souls
soothing feet upon burning coals
Spectrums color of enlighten
only love will continue to brighten
Within' is gold that must return
forever light.....eternal burn
