A Beacon of Warmth
A force of nature, with a heart so grand,
She walked this earth, a light in the land.
Our Auntie Dana, fierce and free,
Like the hammerhead shark she loved to see.
She navigated life's deepest, darkest seas,
Finding solace and strength on her bended knees.
In the Bible, her compass, she found her way,
Guiding her through each and everyday.
For her

Yah My Eternal Paramour
In the depths of my soul, You know me intimately,
A love so pure, so unfettered, it transcends mortality,
Unwavering and unrelenting, Your affection stands the test,
A boundless, fathomless love, that forever shall find rest.
When I stumble, and my heart is heavy with shame,
You forgive, and with compassion, You whisper my name,
In the darkness, You are my

With deepest gratitude
With deepest gratitude
With steady hands and a heart so kind,
You healed with much skill, and preeminent mind.
When clouds of worry covered our sky,
Guiding our boy through the darkest night.
You went beyond what duty asks,
With patience, care, and gentle tasks.
Each step you took, each choice you made,
Brought light to fears that failed to fade.
We

I thank God for this Garden
marigolds line the path to my outside home
it’s a cottage garden, which gives me joy
against the walls of my she-shed are tall pink hollyhocks
they look like upside down skirts with yellow bloomers showing
they are fuzzy if you graze them gently with a finger
there used to be roses, but they are gone now
a large potted fern

Merci Beaucoup Jerry T Curtis
Saxophone & sipping cabernet,
toe tapping,
writing away
dancing within dream,
head bobbing.
O those French mots
j’aime. Sax O!
Relax O, merci beaucoup!

I'm so incredibly proud and privileged ,

Lots of caffeine, kindness and care,

a Promised land
How can a place be no fairy
And no person either
The birds are gone for food
There are no seeds, no fruits
And no flowers blooming for hopes
I don't mind and need not a pity
In fact, I am indeed rattling happy
If this is a discarded land
It must be mine

DAILY GRATITUDE WHALES
I will always be grateful to whales…
for one simple reason why:
The first time I saw a whale fly
I thought…
if he can do it
so can I.

Thank you Lord new song version
Thank you Lord
Thinking back upon my life
When days were ever so bleak
When nothing seemed to turn out right
I was desperate and so weak
Then you came along and helped me out
You pulled me out of the fire
And I thank you…Oh Lord
For saving my life
Chorus
I want to thank you Lord,
For always being there
Through the bad times

You Can Thank the Funky Monkey
No way you could call this a drizzle
Came out like rhinoceros pizzle
On this day at the zoo
This old monkey just blew
It fried my eyes and made them sizzle
Blinded, direction was hard to gauge
And I fell into the lion's cage
I was sure she'd eat me
But she purred so sweetly
Now I live with a cat

Where would I be without you?
my body and my heart are fragile brittle mostly broken
your visit and your kindness mean the world to me
you sing your song and the healing of my soul begins

The Pieces of Me
I open my bathroom door,
Clothes on the floor,
I look in the mirror, but the reflection is not me that I see,
But the people I loathe instead.
It’s crazy to think that the people that hurt me,
The people that I hate,
Are the people that make up me
The reason I wear makeup,
The way I talk how I talk
