No one can tell
no one can
say
all those things
I need to hear
just to get me
through
today.
Heaven help
if
you please
I need
comforting
come be near
holding me.

All Those Things
June 20, 2024
Changes Need To Be Made
June 19, 2024
I know changes
Need to be
Made
Things have gotten
Old and staid
But
Then my mind goes
In
Another way
. . . .
Old stuff, old ways
Are
Well known
And
Oh such
A comfortable place
To stay!

I Don’t Like
June 18, 2024
I don’t like
the one I’ve become
I want to be
that
other one
The one that laughs
sees the light
holds close
evening’s delight
Let me be, let me see
that person
I was
I wish once more
to be.

No
June 17, 2024
No
I won’t be hurt
By what you see or do
No
I won’t try to understand
The method used
No
I won’t believe
My dreams can’t come
true
Because
I know I will have
Everything
I need
This
I’m telling you.

Holding On And Very Still
June 14, 2024
Holding on and very still
breathe light
heart softly beating
and
I will be careful
to
leave the earth
a better place
because
of
me
I promise, I will.

I Must Accept
June 13, 2024
This is when
I must
Accept those
Giving
Unconditional love
And
Anyone
That only means harm
Let them go away
To find
How
They can change
Their hurt
Into loving others
Each
And
Every day.

Heaven Help Me
June 11, 2024
Heaven help me
Let me be free
Of
All controversy
Let not
The powers that be
Feed me
Hate, anger
More
Controversy
Instead let me see
The love, the beauty
And
All that heaven
Has
Gives to me.

I Hear The Engine Roar
June 10, 2024
I hear
the engine roar
the smoke billow
and
fly high
up into the air
high
up to the sky
I see people laughing
cordially
taking steps to be
in the midst
of
everything
I feel excitement
racing
round the curves
down
the track
in
anticipation
of
who’s to win
The first
to cross the finish line
the one I know
all
will celebrate and cheer
The one
who’s
the winner.
That’s what I do hear.

All Across The Land
June 7, 2024
The sun rises
Shines
All across the land
The ground wakes
Sighing a gentle sigh
All across the land
Birds fly, coyotes call
Leaves sway in unison
All across the land
Contentment is ours
To enjoy
All across the land.

Me
June 6, 2024
I have heard your voice
calling me
I’ve known always
that
you stayed by me
protected
me.
I know
when I’m gone
you’ll have taken the journey
with me
guided me
consoled
me.
Made me know
I’m not alone
for
you’ll always be
here
right beside
of
me.
