Eldorado
Eldorado In Sokoto's land of ancient pride, A miracle unfolded, your birth inside, A mother's vision of a daughter dear, Yet, fate's design wove a different thread, a boy appear. God's blessings flow like a river wide, Unfathomable, His wisdom does reside, No mortal mind can grasp His divine plan, A mystery that guides the course of life's span. Your early days, a...

With heartfelt thanks, he acknowledges the...

Premium Member Thanksgiving Leftovers
The 20-pound butterball turkey rests On a table laden with condiments; We bow our heads, reach out our hands and bless And say grace which presupposes our content. But as we eat, the elephant harrumphs To lead our banter and wordplay astray, We assert on Gaza or butterball Trump Or some other donnybrook of the day. Alas, the turkey is now...

Adoptee Victim of the Holidays
Adoptee Victim of the Holidays by Corey Quinn (Chaotic rhyme scheme to match my emotional state) As I enter the home to over salted deviled eggs, loud dogs and poisonous side conversations, the adoptive family quickly unleashes their shallow holiday greetings and stale smiles. The black sheep of the family has entered the home with the people pleaser...

EMBER ENDING
Welcome to another phase A new dawn, another era It's festive season, love the reason A new month, without deceased Radiating liveliness not decay December without denials or delay we pray. The last month of the year 2024 But not the last month for us The month of impeccable discernment Birthing awareness for actions Igniting our passion for glory Leading us to...

Behold the Good that is already there, But! Give one’s nod, In Thanking G-d the “Sharer!” Because ‘tis truly odd, To receive care, Despite being a “Dud”, Even naked & bare, Without a merit “Mother Lode”, “Thanks!” is song, a soulful “Aire”, Keeping us “Solid!”, If “Thanks!” be rare, We take for granted, grow “Stolid”, Breathe callous air, Paying debts is a lid, Which opens fare, Ticket to Hearts 14...

Thanksgiving Day 2024 Miracle Man 11/28/2024 I try seeing each day as a day for thanksgiving, I remember to think the Lord for my sins forgiving. Also, for His precious word to which I try to adhere, For things not being as bad as they oft first appear. Today, I remember all those who must sleep on the street, Praying today they’ll have a Mission meal to eat. For those...

RIP Alice
Alice passed away this week, But it would just be wrong If a Turkey Day went by without Us listening to her song*. For Arlo Guthrie wrote a tale About her restaurant And he started a tradition Which, each year, I always want. We’re sitting in the car, en route To have our special meal And at noon on classic radio, My husband at the wheel, The...

Thanksgiving Day comes this one day a year A simple reminder To enjoy the simplest things in life The nourishment of basic needs Of family and friends (food and football!) In whatever passes for community, Be it small or large, Limited to just one Or extended across generations. It’s a holy day but one that embraces all faiths Reminding us to keep the faith In...

Premium Member The Turkey A L'Orange Is Ready
I'm neither talking about the turkey Who’s running for President Nor the one which is a country Now embroiled And roiled in turmoil I am talking about the huge pheasant That we all like to fest on the last Thursday Of November every year, and on New Year’s Day. I can’t wait to enjoy its thighs and wings I can’t wait afterwards to make...
