  • Let Go by TD Jakes

    Sunday, October 12, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story


    Let Go by TD Jakes
    By T. D. Jakes
    There are people who can walk away from you.
    And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.
    When people can walk away from you let them walk...

  • Courage to face tomorrow

    Friday, October 3, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

     
    Courage is admitting that you’re afraid and facing that fear directly.
    It’s being strong enough to ask for help and humble enough to accept it. Courage is standing up for what you believe in without worrying about the opinions of others.
    It’s following your own heart, living your own life,
    and settling for nothing less than the best for yourself.
    Courage is daring to take a f...

  • An Ode to Arthritis

    Saturday, April 4, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

     A Ode to Arthritis
    I’m not disposed to hysterical bursts or emotional crying,
    but since I’ve had this damned disease, to deny it would be lying.
    Doctor sent me to a rheumy specialist, a master of his field,
    “I think you have Rheumatoid Arthritis” he said, your future now is sealed.
    I’ve had that many X-Rays, I’m amazed I‘m not glowing bright green,
    Not t...

    With the warmest of wishes
    this just comes to say
    hope that you're feeling
    much better today.

    Hope this happy get-well note
    Adds sunshine to your day-
    And shows you that you're thought of
    In a warm and special way!

    It's nice to hear you're doing well
    And convalescing fast,
    And here's a wish that your good health
    Will last and last and last.

  • Prayers

    Saturday, October 11, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story


    I
    C stands for concentrate. The first word in the model prayer is “Father.” Almighty God says that His children are to go to Him and call Him Father. We are to concentrate on Him as God, Father, His nature, His character, His dominion, His omnipresence. That’s the first ingredient.
    H stands for hallowed. “Hallowed be Your name.” The name of God is not to be used in a ...

  • Endless You (may have posted this before but worth another look)

    Thursday, November 19, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    We are all the pearl within the shell. One day the shell will disappear and shining will be the pearl only.
    As I get older, and for me its only 43, the small child in me still drives this vehicle. The being that I know I am is still the one trying to park this body, pick up this body and , aaaand... deal with the storms of emotions that pass through it.  Have I improved the body, yes at time...

    Marie
    thank you.....
    you taught me so much, with what little  you had
    your mind was not par with the rest
    your behavior not the same
    your were locked away and ignored
    left to die alone
    the music played through you in ways
    only an attuned listener could know
    and echoes today as ripples
    i hearyour voice in the rain, feel your presense in the wind 
    thank you.. thank you.....

  • What Are You Waiting For?

    Tuesday, April 28, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    This is such an inspiring song that, of course, I heard on the radio just recently.  It's as though I've found a true connexion to these lyrics by Natalie Grant.  I almost want to make them mine!

    "What Are You Waiting For?" by Natalie Grant
    Sometimes I get that overwhelming feeling
    So sad, those faces on TV
    If I tried to make a difference, would it help anyway?

    EVERY NIGHT

    ALTHOUGH I KNOW THAT DAY WILL NEVER COME
    SO EVERY NIGHT WHEN I LAY DOWN TO SLEEP

  • last poem for dad

    Tuesday, November 4, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Here's the poem I was finally able to write for my dad.
    With a stern voice
    And a heart of gold
    You were the best dad ever
    Soft, yet bold.
    Someone I could go to
    In times of dispair
    No matter whatever happened
    You were always right there,
    To show love & support
    As high as the sky
    Then remind me you're watching me
    By pointing at your eye.
    I'll never forget
    The good times we had
    At the track, or a...
