Lamentable, the family gathering
on the other side of sunshine,
with possessions no longer bothering,
sans loving cups, draining of wine.
Great-grands, grands, aunts, uncles, cousins and unborn,
one mom, a nephew, memories
their perspectives (only they carry). Torn,
yellowed pages of treasuries.
Climbing steps, silver dollars, and finger gloves,
savory chicken and dumplings,
boat on the lake, seashells on velvet (these loves)
tricks and treats, some were just ducklings.
Soft hands, warmer heart; silver in corner chair;
the teaser (he died way too young)
To each I lift my thoughts - they are laid bare.
Kindly, ancestors, I’m among.
All, go the byway, to our destination.
What will our progeny recall?
What bouquet of ours sets forth sensation?
Together we’ll be, blessings fall.
Lacrimal vessels are filled - our love, fearsome.
Eyes salty and brightened.
Peace comes after tears, reveling in wisdom.
Capacity to care, heightened.

"A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset"
Good and bad days, Depends on your mood.
A memory can stay, But the other ones is a whole different dude.
Beautiful memories, Beautiful days.
Better than royal treasuries, Can we visit them again?
Yes, we can, in our dreams and tales,
Relive the joy, the love, the laughter that prevails.
For memories, though fleeting, leave a lasting trace,
A reminder of happiness, a smile on our face.
So let us cherish every moment we share,
And hold dear the memories that bring us joy beyond compare.
For beautiful memories and beautiful days,
Are the treasures that make life worth living in every way.
In the beauty of our mind, a celestial grace,
Resides, a mindset that embraces life's pace.
Ethereal thoughts ascend, connecting soul to sky,
As we cherish each moment, our spirit starts to fly.
Thankyou!

The sky and the earth gave witness to your birth.
Sun smiles and Moon nods, while you build your life on Earth.
Now you are already Eight in age; may you reach the late adulthood stage.
While you march the path of life, don’t forget al-Akhirah, your afterlife.
Save pleasant memories, they are your chest of treasuries.
Learn from life lessons, knits sent you to guide from the heavens.
Sometimes you have to let go, other times go with the flow.
These eight years have been awesome, yet your life is about to blossom.

She wishes for dreamtime.
Her clock has a face but no eyes;
It divides into 5-minute slices.
Earth turns between sunshine and shadow:
a marbled orb spinning in vastness.
The girl gazes
past clockwork and schedules -
speaks from her heart.
“I want no time, no measuring up,
no counting, no subtraction.
I wish for serendipitous meetings,
tea and conversations.
I wish for dreamtime:
for stars singing meanings that linger
and echo in art,
for words by eye-witnesses,
written in treasuries,
for covering wings in the dark -
in the nest of mystery and truth.”
Waiting…
Then God is speaking, saying:
“For you – My love is also for you.”

Breath of absolute love through the unfinished steps
of our life walk and follow me in my footsteps.
He has observed us with blessed devotion that weaves.
Our future in bloom love and songs of spring sweet leaves.
With a cherishing reverence with treasuries
of future closely woven ample memories.
Follow me, breathe with me with most deep fervent love.
A lifetime of bliss sparkling shooting stars above.

On earthen shores are treasures
Of love, of joy, of life
A family's forever bond
The children, Husband, Wife
Treasure troves of memories
Within' these earthen treasuries
The blessed earthly life of years
And yet, can break, and rush to tears
The tears like diamonds fall like the sands
Lift them Father, within Your hands,
The broken hearts in sorrows weep
And in Your love, please. Father, keep
Those washed in tears sweet memories
Flows from earthen treasuries
Comfort the broken, draw close and near
Drying, every diamond tear
Amen

"Can you feel the soul of an abandoned house;
can you hear the whispering? "
Quote by _Constance La France
Our farmhouse holds memories.
Only in my heart, daydreams
It burned with wall's treasuries.
Windows gone letting in sunbeams.
Reminiscence's aroma
Flows with each deluge.
Even though like glaucoma
My fragmented thoughts refuge.
Though to abuse subjected
Where was no bathroom, doghouse.
Only dad's love protected.
Inside walls of our farmhouse

Rain droplets like memories
Drip from the low fog shrouding
Whip-poor-will sings from treasuries
Day will bring out crowding
But all in all, I must breakaway
Say_ believe in old prophets.
The Bible don't disobey.
Hear it_ in all rain droplets

"His whisper awakes the inner soul of peace." Quote by poet
The Autumn breeze slightest breath whisper
Sent a quiver across the countryside and still river.
Rest for a moment feeling the welcoming ambiance
With a calm and perfect graceful nonchalance.
Perching mockingbirds sing pretty charm lullabies;
Their weft threads carry underneath cloudless skies.
Awaking a feeling of unforgotten pleasant memories
Sweet release devouring extraordinary treasuries.

The house of cards claim to have an ace up it's sleeve
They play us like a game turning one against the other
In order for someone to increase one must decrease
The policy of survival is identifying the truth
It can change a course if set positively right
To avoid conflict it works towards peace
Instead we have governments hell bent on killing
Talk about climate change when the most wicked murders promote chaos
Corrupt heartless fraudsters stealing from treasuries and pension funds
Patting each other on the back for jobs well done
Where law is concerned they turn a blind eye no longer supporting justice
The biggest gangsters are those in suits convicts, worse than those in prison

Lateen
Lighthouse ahead
Foghorn echoes a warning within my head
Wind and sails
Greated by snails
Our shores of outstanding luxury
Nature was its beauty
Magic is near
Made rainbows appear
Sunlight
Shines bright
God proof of his fossils
Left us the words of his Apostles
Jesus Christ our loyalty
Presented within nature treasuries
You are fine art
Which heals our hearts
The craft of our Father design
To refine every line
Who keeps us safe
Through the depth of our faith
Tends to our wounds
Words said and unused
Action done and received
My Lord we believe
You say
I have heard you pray
Worthy of grace
I show my heart face
Our Lord love is there
You have shown you care

A kiss left among the stars
Longed for me
My precious maze
Windows shut
I felt your gaze
Wave have raised your blissful shore
Seeing the world as you knew before
God you lifted
For you persisted
Ready to defend
All worthy friends
Honored by plea
You watered my tree
Taste of delicatessen
A worthy life lesson
Lost treasuries
You forgave all riveries
Adhered to confess
To whom all that have been blessed

Quite fragile are our crystal memories
shattered by the shifting of the old
caused by changes in such times as these
the fading of the past in many ways
the coming of the new frontier and days
to form fresh memories sturdy as gold
precious to the heart like treasuries.

A CELEBRATION OF LIFE
The loss of your Mother:
a feeling of no other,
sadness and sorrow,
tears of grief continue into tomorrow.
Your Mother,
whose pain has ceased, is now at peace.
The afflictions of old-age have been released.
Your Mother,
who gave you birth,
has left her heritage here on earth.
The Circle of Life reigns
as her blood runs through your veins.
Your Mother,
now retired from an earthly life,
nurtured you tenderly as a child.
Her soul now observes
as you provide nutriment to your own, with verve.
Your Mother,
who guided you into adulthood,
has left her mark on this earth,
leaving you with choices for your future worth.
Your Mother
provides you with joyous memories no one can part,
moments in which to create treasuries,
yours to keep close to your heart.
Rejoice! as you applaud a true Celebration of Life!
Smile, as your Mother's memory remains,
...until you meet again.

Under thee lids there sleeps the truth
now I see a climate change occur
Where twisted merchants betray God
Selling false faces denies the sixth promoting killing
along with a few other numbers written on stone
corrupt unholy the governments of countries have become
Stealing has become normal justice lies spill
from snakes without a backbone the whole system has become infested
so many rats eating from our treasuries hounds taking their pounds of flesh
From elderly to the poor they are each branded to turn eyes
around facts where chains have been applied as we all become beggars
and all we ever hear about is misery and war
