Decyl

Miss Decyl! Sweet Decyl!

I watch you at play

A wondrous creation

I live with today

All things that are moving

Will Targets become

A joyous occasion

A romp in the sun!

With pleasures abounding

She'll streak through the night

For she's chasing shadows

That bring her delight

Her tail thus is twitching

She stalks now her prey

My lamp faces danger

For fringe, it will sway

She's crossed my computer

Her typings begun

For O's and for X's
And Q's are such fun

My letters have "letters"

I did not know of

She's written with pleasure

And sends all her love

What day to day antics

With me now are found

For her playful actions

Around me are wound

My heart she's controlling

Tis filled with such joy

And she knows my buttons

And which to employ!!

9/06/06 about my kitten Decyl and how much joy she brings me!

Pain

What pain and what heartache

You suffer today

What anguish and misery

Has come now your way

My heart is there with you

I know of your pain

My tears too are falling

Like hard heavy rain

The future, the blessing

That God has in store

When he with his spirit

Your heart will restore

But just for the moment

Today and beyond

The pressure is heavy

Your heart can't respond

Though heavy your burden

And deep now your ache

One day in the future

Our God will it take

For time and its passage

Will help with your grief

And one day from the shadows

You will find relief

Because of the pressure

The ache deep within

I know that Jehovah

Your healing begins
