"A Home of My Own"

A habitat, dwelling

A home of my own!

A key to a treasure

That's mine, mine alone!

I'll swing wide the entrance

My heart will take flight

Tis soaring around me

And filled with delight

From room to room gliding

My pleasures abound

I'm lost in contentment

A home I have found!

"Asked of the Dead"

How could they do that?

Causing such pain

Hollow and empty

Hearts now will drain

What of their family

How will they feel?

Heart heavy sorrow

With which to deal

Friends too are hurting

Feeling the ache

Heavy the pressure

Make no mistake

How could they do that?

What did they dread?

Sorrowful questions

Asked of the dead.

5-21-06 some young friends committed suicide last fall and I wrote this about it. I was so angry with them for doing such a terrible thing. They brought so much pain and heartache to so many who loved them. Yet I know they were sick, wounded people and in need of help. I just wish someone had recognized just how injured or wounded they were.

"Day of Judgment"

Soon to come disaster

Armageddon's near

How and what approaches

Brings with it such fear

Who are now preparing

Speaking of his word

Guidance, love, direction

Daily now is heard

Yes the day of judgment

Is with fear inspired

Plus the day of judgment

Is with fear attired

With what awe we're watching

All of it unwind

That new world to enter

Leave the old behind

Soon will come the ending

God's word does relate

And with each days passage

We now it await!

"With You I Soar"

Butterfly, flutterfly

With joy now I sing!

How wondrous the pleasure

Your presence will bring

You're caught in my heart strings

The wind lifts you high

In your joyous moment

I'll soar and I'll fly

You'll carry me upward

My heart will be free

Across now the heavens

Just what will I see?

By watching you flutter

You've swung wide a door

The heavens are opened

And with you I soar!

5-7-06 a young sister here - SammiJo - had a small butterfly cut out and I went into rhyme over it.

"Shadows"

The sequins, the glamour

The look she will hide

The sorrowful shadows

Of tears she has cried

She masks now he moment

Her fears hidden deep

For those who are watching

Will not see her weep

But glance at her center

The core of her heart

You'll gaze upon heartache

That does not depart
