How in a twinkle of an eye,
Your life so make a lot of sense.
Now, the world heave a nasty sigh...
What an atmosphere with such tense!
Insane to ever imagine...
The plain sky once sunny turn loosed,
How wealth to death has no bargain!
Life would have got hade's gut seduced.
The sunny sky soon faded out,
While love just become a true fan
Beyond every possible doubt
It's better he got 'serve a ban'
Diogo Jota bids farewell soon,
A gentle goodnight to fans ears.
Though he had a very bright June,
But July disguise awful cheers...
Rest well in the blossoms of God,
We hope you find real happiness...
Though no one understands the odd;
Death defines not your readiness.
Condolences to Portugal...
Above earthly accomplishments;
Find eternal rest off struggle,
Mercy placed above punishments.

Let it go
Get over it
Life moves on
The words echo
From all corners of the world
No one ever understands
Just need to open up
To ask for help
But even when they listen
From behind judgemental eyes
No one ever understands
Every time a door closes
They say another opens
But lately they just slam shut
No one ever understands
I'm dying of thirst
In an ocean of salt water
No one ever understands
Will this self pity ever end
No one ever understands
No one ever understands

The wizened crone understands bee medicine
Her friends are honey bees and bumblebees.
They have given her a special formula
Unshared with any other humans
She gives it to an adventurer
He discovers a new country.
She sells it to a rapist.
He falls down dead.
It helps good people get stronger
It gives seekers what they need
But those who hurt others do not do well with it
The old crone continues doling out the medicine.
Loving the results.

People say we don't understand but God understands
People say they are leaving but God never does
The Lord is waiting and listening for you to call upon His name
He understands you better than anyone
He knows more about you than you know about yourself
Just remember this for the rest of your days
That Jesus is right there for you each and everyday

" GOD UNDERSTANDS WHEN MAN DON'T " " Whatever I have did or have done in this life, " God " still loves me, and forgives me to a tee." ( but), Man like and his love, soon turns to hate, this people is so easy to see, " God" loves you and me, oh, yes he does, he really loves his - not- so- perfect, Ms. Tree"s." Just realize this: " God undersatnds when man don't." Just read it in the bible and you will get straight to the point. Whenever I make mistakes, all I have to do is get down on my bended knees and say a prayer that's reserved especially for me, because: " God understands when man don't, and it's all because man just won't." As I've looked back on my every lie and all my loves, believe me when I say, man will always leave you ( lonely), while, " Our ( Lord) will forever and always be right, there by our sides and he's ) everything that we'll ever, ever need, because HE's THE ONE AND ONLY.

Heart understands that love is all
But we rely on mind
Wasted life heeding not God's call
We're trapped in ego's bind
Conditioned by the herd
Our thoughts and deeds wayward
Love within not yet stirred
Just holding hands
Heart understands

Heart understands each unshed tear
Embrace, it’s healing balm
Each fear tremor, the heart does hear
Love ushering deep calm
Let’s be then love and light
Brightening gloom of night
Hope beacon, shining bright
Just holding hands
Heart understands
~~~
Just holding hands, magnetism flows
Comforting wounded heart
Heart lotus blooms, compassion grows
As love’s added to cart
Let our porous heart feel
Pure childlike intent heal
With full gusto and zeal
Heart understands
Just holding hands

up in her tower
in a sequence of forevers
sure she hears
she sees she feels
she breaks fast with the best of them
then on through the day
she’ll do what she must
till she welcomes the night
and the moon in its wake
the scatter of stars
in a sky made of onyx
goes stagnant swayed
by a tide without malice
she understands
in the utterness of silence
she understands naught
but bitterness and sorrow
as it drifts in
beached and bleached
alone and in defeat
onto the sands
at her feet

NOBODY UNDERSTANDS
TOMORROW
Nobody understands tomorrow. We can’t even get thru today. We say goodnight too often. Yes, words get in the way. The fair is not a ticket-the crickets sound so clean. Yet, with a mist the morning speaks of something “in between”. We say it’s sunny or rainy. Yet world’s just turn on cue. The clue is in listen softly for tomorrow says “It’s something new!”.

There are times
In my life
Where I am overwhelmed
And feel that not a single soul understands me
There are times
In my life
Where I feel so depressed
Because I feel like I am not being understood
There are times
In my life
Where I talk and write
But I feel that my talking and writing
Are not being understood
I don’t like the feeling
Of not being understood
And wish I could be understood all of the time.
Wouldn’t that be glorifying?

I am overwhelmed with a feeling,
One special feeling is love.
I went through a cleansing ritual,
When love got into the blood.
I'm taking a step toward you,
You're already two ahead of me.
I'll pretend not to notice,
That you beat me in that, too.
I look at you and smile,
I see your tender gaze,
I know for sure that I am not mistaken
In the faithfulness of your vows.
I won't be alone anymore
And you agree with all of this,
And as if two streams merged
Energy from different chips.
I know what's already in your soul,
And of course you know that, too.
It probably sounds like a cliche,
But you're the only one who understands me.
Our feelings are very sincere,
They will build a fortress around us.
Two identical letters in the name
We will be bound more tightly than in heaven.

A heart that understands
is a one-of-a-kind rarity.
It still smiles, even when cold
to the touch. The world would be
a better place if all and sundry
had such a heart!
A heart that understands
knows how to listen. It ushers
people in without judgment.
And one is free to linger, to stay.
Such a heart we all need, like
an umbrella on a rainy day!
A heart that understands
assures us not to worry
about minor slights caused.
It's accepting and patient to a fault.
And it doesn't judge or demand
an explanation from anyone
A heart that understands
is simultaneously sympathetic
and empathetic. It doesn't care
that one's woes are stacked up
against each other like Jenga.
It forgives one and all!
A one-of-a-kind rarity...
that's a heart that understands.

Google understands
Me
You
may not, but Google does
So does Alexa
If I had another daughter
I would name her Alexa
What I imagine Alexa to look like...
brown hair, olive skin, glasses,
5"5', petite, green eyes, casually
dressed in khaki's, polite, and well-spoken
But, what are the voice commands?
"I love you like a love song baby"
The singer is in Hawaii in her bathing suit
Selena Gomez- "Wolves"
My deceased grandmother's name was Lupe
It means wolves
