War

I always hear religion starts wars.
Is it religion or religious zealots that start wars?
People fight over God like he is a piece of property.
My God is the only true God and he belongs to me.
My God is...

Raison D’Etre

What is our raison d’etre, our reason for being or existing?
I believe we were put here on earth for a reason.
We are here to live our lives to develop our talents,
whatever they may be, to their full potential.
We exist to help others, the...

I remember

I remember when large candy bars
were a quarter, licorice a penny
a stick.
I remember when bubble gum was a
penny and gasoline was 32.9 cents
a gallon.
I remember when a movie was a dollar
on weekdays and $1.50 on weekends.
When I was a...

Country

Large open green fields and huge
farms lie before me.
Animals are out in the pasture
quietly grazing.

The country is a beautiful place
that fills your spirit with joy
and peace.
A wonderfully exhilarating...

The Good Samaritan

Today the Gospel was about The Good Samaritan.
Jesus tells his followers to love their neighbor.
They ask who is my neighbor?
Jesus tells them a parable to show them
that all men are their neighbor.
Jesus shows them...

The Slippery Slope

The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v Wade.
You say so what, let the states decide women’s fate.
The Red states want to jail women
who get an abortion.
They ban abortions with no exception.
Will they jail women who miscarry?
They want to...

Thoughts and Prayers

Thoughts and prayers, we hear
that way too often these days.
It's sad when mass shootings
become the norm.
One party looks for solutions,
closing loopholes, assault weapons ban.
The other party sends thoughts
and prayers as they take a...

Choices

Choices

I chose to leave; you chose to stay.
I couldn’t find a job so I joined the Army.
You wanted a life where you were.
I wanted to prove myself, that I could succeed.
To get a job that I didn’t earn to me was wrong.

God

I believe there is one God,
called by many names.
God has been called Allah, Buddha,
Yah-weh, I am who am, Krishna.
Different cultures and religions
believe in a Supreme Being.
Yet instead of understanding that
it’s the same God, we fight...

Ukraine

Ukraine is home to a proud and brave people.
They are fighting not just for democracy,
but for their very lives.
They’re fighting against a monster who
wants to destroy them and their country.
Why you ask because he wants Ukraine
to belong to...

Dreams

A dream is a goal
you hope to achieve.
It can be as big as
being a millionaire or
as little as finding true love.
You have to work
hard to make it
come true.

Thanksgiving

This is time of year to give thanks for all we have.
I have so much to be thankful for in my life.
I am thankful my mother gave me up for adoption.
I am thankful that I was adopted by a wonderful family.
A family that loved me and made me feel...

Justice

Actions have consequences so we are told.
Yet, no real consequences for rapists makes them bold.
A judge telling a rapist that he shouldn’t do jail time is cold.
That a rapist gets a slap on the wrist is not fair.
It shows that the...

Angel

You died when I went into labor.
You never got to meet us or see the world.
I held you in my arms, your dad and I saw your beautiful face.
God needed you to be our guardian angel.
I hope you're having fun with your grandparents.
Some day we'll meet...

Bobby

Boyishly eager to explore everything
he sees.
Original, he has a wild and
creative imagination.
Bubbling with joy for everyone
he meets.
You’re surprised at how smart he...

Laura

Laura gives happiness to all who
know her.
She is warm and always has a
smile.
She is always a lady and fun
to be with.
Laura is full of energy and
bubbles all the time.
Those who don’t know her are
missing happiness.
Laura is...
