On loan

G-d loaned you to me

To love and be loved

I knew someday you'd return to Him

As all of us must do

He'd want you back

I'd have to let you go

My heart cries

"but why so soon?

I have much more love to share

So many adventures...

someday

Dark thoughts invading my brain
I want sunshine not rain

I think of things I'm grateful for
But still sadness is in my core

I cannot weep
I cannot cry
My very soul
Just wants to die

I've lived this way
Too many years
I am completely...

Prayer from a rescued animal

Now I lay me down to sleep
My bed is warm and deep

My mom and dad are here
Nothing for me to fear

I have food, I have love
I prayer to you above

Thank you for this my home
For You I write this...

The Flood

Two by two they walk up the ramp
Peaceful, loving calm
They have not fear
All is well
For though the storm is fierce
They know they will be safe
Their Lord is by their...

my queenie

Two little eyes look up at me from the darkness
Two little eyes twinkle with their love for me
Two little eyes greet me in the morning
Two little eyes wish me good night

A little black and pink nose twitches at me
A little black and pink nose...

Fight

It sneaks in and slowly brings the darkness with it
We fight and try to keep the darkness at bay
Alas we know it is a losing battle
The darkness will always win
But...if we can just shine the light within
For...one more hour, day ,week or year

Mommy and Daddy are gone

• I do not know where they went

• I know they loved me

• And I loved them too

• Alas my search was in vain

• So now I wait and I wait

be with me

Open your ears and listen
Open your eyes and see.
Feel the breeze on your back
And the sun on your shoulders
Quiet your thoughts
And be with Me

I am always with you
You are never alone
I will always protect you
You will always have my...

No more

No more emotion
I am dead inside
No more thoughts
Nor commotion

Logic prevailing
Feelings are no more
Love, hate, guilt. Gone!
I've stopped my wailing

Tears are all dried up
Many years wasted
Did not do enough
Remorse fills my cup

roller coaster of life

Nail clippings on the floor
My thoughts are out the door
Love, hate
emotions raw
day to day
What's the score
heaven, hell
All in one
When will it all be done?
roller coaster of life
I need to end this...

flower memories

Honeysuckle, lilacs, dandelions
Flowers of childhood

Roses, daisies, tulips
Flowers of young adulthood

Orchids, snapdragons, lavender
Flowers of maturing

Diffenbacher, snake plant, cactus
Flowers of the senior years

I see the flowers...

Queenie

She came to me as a baby
Now she's all grown up
I found her in a rainstorm
Now she brings me sunshine

She's there for me in the morning
And again to say good night
My lap she warms all day
At every chance she gets

She watches me from the...

the voice

Your voice filled me with joy
Your voice was love
You said your voice was terrible
To me it was a choir of angels

Learned from you
A voice filled with love
Is the most wonderful sound
in the world

A voice filled with love
Brings comfort...

the sound of your hug

I was a child
Your hug healed all
Boo-boos
Hurt feelings
Everything was
Fixed by your hug

When I was sick
Your hug healed me
Colds, coughs flu
It didn't matter
I felt better
When you hugged me

When I was a teenager
Your hug...

stray cat's wish

Safe in her shelter
She happily sleeps
Her belly is full
She knows she is loved

She happily sleeps
No danger to fear
Gentle hands pet her
She knows she is loved

No danger will get her
She’s safe and she’s warm
She knows she is loved

A stray animal's plea

Look into my eyes

See the love that’s waiting

Give me a chance

I will give you my heart

I will be your loyal friend

You will be my everything

Unlike a human

I will never betray you

I. Will never forsake you

My love will...

Blindsided
I never saw the signals
I ignored all oof the signs
My friends showed me the red flags
My family stood by my side

I was totally blindsided
I really shouldn't have been
The warnings signs were all...

I wear a....

A wear a …

I wear a mask.
No not because of covid
I wear a mask, like others do
To hide
To pretend not to be me
Me
Who is that?
I’ve worn a mask so long
And changed my mask so often
I no longer know
Do you?

We all wear the mask

good or evil? love or hate?

Guns shoot
People die
Why?
Love fails
Hatred reigns
Caine?
Good gone
Evil wins
Sins?
Need faith
Do not despair

where are we going?
I don't know my darling.
I don't know.

Will we be safe?
Trust in God, my darling

like a kitten's tail
Joy stays just beyond our reach
the pendulum swings and we return to middle ground
from whence we beg release
Where did I the child of joy...
