The Cosmos

Cosmic starry night
Akin to the universe
Heaven calls my name

Life Begins At 40

What will this world continue to make of me?
What will I continue to make of myself?
And the melding henceforth.
Minced meat, chopped liver.
Or a strand of grey pearls.
These days it's a new way of life.
A new way of living.
Oh, I just had a senior moment.
I need to dye my hair.

Dream

They say dream big and have lofty dreams 
The inspirational gurus that is 
Well, some people in America think it is a caste system
And some people believe in the American dream 
Either way I think you have to work your butt off 
I am a dreamer, a day dreamer 
And a hard worker
Clawing my way to the top 
In order to break through the glass ceiling

Shopping List

Clove of garlic for the heart
Green tea for diabetes
Carrots for the eyes
Milk for healthy teeth and bones
Coffee for alertness
Prune juice for regularity
Spaghetti for energy
Oatmeal for fullness
Green beans for vitamin 12
Red meat for anemia
Apple fritter for my sweet tooth

Frozen Feelings

Like ice and ice
Satin purple ribbon in between

Describe the lines
Echoes, and voice in between

Like a sculpture of an angel
holding a frozen ice cold heart

She's the ice princess
of your fenced in world

Defined by the limits of your own mind
Co-sign her heart to dependence

For you can't overcome
the shadows of your past

And the horns sound
to glorify her

And what are you supposed to do when the world
adores the ice princess of your heart

If only you could melt her
To only to chisel her

Into your truest of true beauty queen
But no she's your angel

Frozen and unmoving at times
To an exxagerated few

Sing her praises
Compliment her ways

See the angel and not your past
See the in between lines of what is not being said

Hear the silence of her words
that you are her comfort and company

Godwinks

God is a miracle working inside of me
He shows me daily all that I can be
God is wonderful and miraculous

His son Jesus is my higher power
Daily I pray upon his word

Jeremiah 29:11 gives us hope for the future and godwinks everyday
Now I pray

Tiny a Cats Sonnet

I got my cat Tiny at the pumpkin patch
She is a black and white salt and pepper cat
And she and I do like to attach
If she were all black I would more oft think of a bat

I know I will never be as good as Shakespeare
Not sure if he ever wrote of Halloween
Someday as an intellectual I will appear
But this is about my cat and how she is a Queen

Yes, if I could be half as good as her
She is so pristine and pretty and poised
I call her my pumpkin spice to allure
She likes her cat food by toised

She is so strong
She has never done anything wrong

Bookmarks

Bookmarks mark the spot where you stop
And take a break for some time
before you come back to the book
Some bookmarks have yarn on them
While others are made out of yarn
If you do not have a bookmark I suppose
you might dog ear the page
Or maybe you do not read at all
I have a dark purple bookmark made out of yarn
I got it from the library
And I read all the time

Young Uns

I am the stereotype of a middle-age lady with grey hair
Working as a preschool teacher

Wearing mumu dresses in bright  colors

A Sunday school teacher wanting to make it a full-time job

To whittle myself a new profession

I'm not the brightest crayon in the box
But, I know I can do it!

Loyalty

A strong feeling of support swept through her entire being
She had been in allegiance with her husband of 34 years
She wanted to start her own business selling cosmetics
After raising three kids and experiencing the empty nest syndrome
She wanted to do something for herself
Thankfully her husband was with her all the way
He was totally loyal.
