Do You Yet Believe In Magic?
I do… am
willing to believe in
Anything
that will help me to live
Help me to
get through daily life
And the
madnesses that Yet
Lurk
Therein. So Yes, yes Lord,
I do Believe
in magic, just as simply
And honestly
as I do Believe
In God
Himself.
//With Due
Diligence is the
Simplest and
most complex accomplishments
Can be
achieved. To Start with
A simple
step, (in any direction), can
Begin the
journey of your life,
Thy
Destiny. The answer lies in
Taking the
next step, and another step
…Before you
know it, you will
Actually get
somewhere.
The simple
trick is,
To Keep On
Walking!
In Jesus’
name,
Amen.//

Glimpse our
Love and The
Power of our
Love for Eternity
Our Love is
a Light in the Dark

Passionate Love in the
Dead of the
Night, I realize
I am not

just this meaning
A Riddle of

The Love is
deeper than
Oceans or

thy love are shared
And
completed in this union
You are my
best friend and
The Love Of
My Life
Although we
get older together,
We Grow
Closer With passing Time
As memories
are formed together
You and I
will never die!//
“To
Theodore”
When we are
alone in the dark
You Hold Me,
I Hold You
All that’s
passed speaks for
Itself, when
the day is done
Good Hearts
Snuggling under
Cover of
darkness two good
Hearts,
yours and mine…who
Could ever
ask for more?
If God took
the breath from
My lips, it
won’t matter
Anymore
because the past
Goes back
seven years and in
That heaven
of life loving
One another,
I am treasuring
Every
instant with you
Theodore my
husband!
Marry
Me! Love, Caroline.//
“Even If I Die
Tomorrow”
To Theodore
Land
Even if I
die tomorrow, my life
Was spent
loving you
The love we
slow-burn
In the dead
of night
Is a thing
to worship
And pray to,
you and I,
So even if I
die tomorrow,
Our Love
Will Have Endured
Our Love
Will Remain
My Legacy,
My Poetry, will
Live on. I
am at peace
We can
retire now, Theodore
It’s going
to be the
Rest of our
lifetimes to enjoy
The fruits
of our labors.
So even if I
die tomorrow,
We Won,
Theodore! We Won.
I love you
my husband.
I hope we
live on into old age,
But all I
ever wanted was you!
We Won!
In Jesus
Name,
Amen!//
“To
Theodore”
I Honestly
don’t know if we’re
going to get by every day
gets harder
and harder
at night I
press my
cold cheek
to your warm back
and just
hold you, loving you,
absorbing
your body heat
I love you
Theodore I’m not
Afraid, “For
Better Or For Worse”
They
Say. “In Sickness and in health”
They
Say. “For richer or
For Poorer”
they say. Well I’m
Glad I
married you and I have
no real regrets we have done
our best.
I don’t want to know
how
incredibly hard and painful
our life
together is; I know it is…
My love for
you, Theodore, is my
Only
Salvation. God May have Forsaken
Us, yet
still you and I Have
One
another’s love, and in our love
Is hope, and
in that hope is
Some kind of
future, however
Hard it may
be to get to.
I am
grateful for your faithful
Steadfast
love. Where would
I be without
you? I’d rather
Be in hell with
you than in
Heaven with
anybody else
But
you. I love you, madly,
My precious
husband,
Love, Your
Wife Caroline.//
Life Tenuous
Now
Spring Peeks
Her Head Out
Of Dry,
Lifeless Sod.
Sadly I come
bearing water,
To Water my
More Beloved Trees
Their lives
Precious to my own
I water them
daily now.
Weeds quite
special
And
beautiful, wild natural wiry
Fresh, green
weeds! These, too
Are the
children of God!
Most People
don’t have the time
To stitch
pants holes or scrub
Counters or
draw or water trees
They don’t
even have time
To play with
pet hamsters!
I do have
time, and
I do these
and other things.//
The
calligraphy is being forgotten
They aren’t
teaching it to
Young
Children Any more
Computers
Becoming Slave Gods,
Immortal and
Susceptible to water
O! A Power Outage!
Ne
electricity would bring
Anarchy,
rage and fury
Among the
people
My fellow
humans!
They live
off of electricity
Like plants
live of water.
Even I.//
In Jesus’
Name,
Amen.
“Woman, Do
Thy Work!”
Woman, Oh
Woman, do thy work;
Know thee
art the lifesource of
A little
world! A home for
People,
plants and animals!
Woman, do
the work that
Only you can
do now!
Keep your
house alive!
Live for thy
husband!
How much he
loves thee, is
Beyond
anyone’s understanding
Do thy work,
and live thy
Tender little
life, Woman, that
Thy Husband
stays alive!//
I thought,
“O Woman!”
Thee might
wait for him all thy
Life, yet
Peace! For Look! Thy
Husband
loveth thee madly,
As a child
loves its mother
Or the sun
loves the moon,
Thus his
love never fails!
Constant,
Pure and True, his Love
For you
rages in the lantern
Of his
little frightened heart!
Oh Woman, Do
Thy Work,
Work, and
live!
For thee
dost love him
And Thy
husband loveth thee!
Oh
Woman! Do thy work, and wait!//
Oh, What is
a home, a home O?
What is a home
to a lamb?
The Mother
keepeth the home
The wife
waiteth for thy husband
Strength of
heart and perserverance
And thy
husband’s love each
Night, holding him in your arms!
Oh Woman, Do
Thy Work!
Jesus Knows
the Satellites
In the skies
that orbit thy
Tiny home! Such with Hope,
Even hope
itself, that frail
Little
flower, the still small
Voice,
guiding thee and
Drawing thee
near, even as
A guiding
Star to sail towards
In darkest
of night and fathomless!
Thus with
thee! Follow thy
Heart which
loveth Theodore
And he
alone. Watch and wait!
Oh Woman,
please do thy work!
In it is the
hope of the world!
In Jesus’
Name,
Amen!////
If they say
anything of me
When I am
dead, let it be,
“She was a
good and loving
Wife all her
life!” Amen.//
The little
mouse trembles
Alone in the
darkness, nibbling seeds.
What hope in
this world for a
Tiny Pet
Mouse, But Me Myself?
Without
thee, there’d be no mouses,
No mouse, no
garden, no trees!
Why, the
very earth might rest
Upon thy
stubborn shoulders!
Oh, woman,
do thy work!
In Jesus’
Name I Pray,
Amen.//
He loves me
with all
Of his
heart. And that is enough.
Amen.//
“I’m looking
for myself”
If I Don’t
come home to you
For a little
while later, I will.
I’m out in
the World,
Finding
myself all around me.
Pickingg up
shards of my
Broken heart
is one thing. It’s done.
Now to
repair that heart which
Is broken,
however I may heal—
Food heals
my heart, flowers
And hugs
heals my broken heart
Long talks
on the phone
Walking to
the laundromat
Wishing on a
Still Bright Star
Holding
Theodore in darkest night
Hearts Break
and I am healing
I must be
careful with my heart
I try to
heal it and it bleeds
Springs
another leak I cry
Poetry comes
forth from heartbreak
And sorrow
doesn’t it, then so
Shall I
spring forth new creations
Of
myself. I need to meditate
I need to
cry and sleep well
If I am not
home for awhile
I am in
life, out looking for myself.
Beautiful
pieces fragments of me
I see in
everything around me
I need to
clear my head for awhile
I’ll be home
and in your arms soon.
In Jesus’
Name,
Amen//
I saw myself
in a puddle of rain
And in fresh
linens from the dryer
I saw myself
in a rose blossom
And not in
the rose’s thorns.
I saw myself
in the heaves
I saw myself
in animals’ eyes
I saw myself
in pools of water
And in the
tender little vine
Lifting for
the light of day.
I saw myself
in a crashing wave
And in my
soulmate’s eyes.//
Be at
Peace! O Ye Daughter
Of God. Amen.//
The Night is
Vast and Dark
Be not thy
heart consumed by it
Like Evil,
all darkness must pass.
Do not
despair and be not afraid
For you are
wonderfully and fearfully made!
Tend Gently
thine humble flock,
Protect thy
child Theodore,
Love them
all with love unconq-
-uerable,
love them with all of
your heart! But you must not
despair,
Jesus Christ is ever by.
The Holy
Spirit filleth thee even now,
Though thee
feelest all alone.
Tend thy
flock, and keep thy
Humble home!
In Jesus’
Name,
Amen.//
I am Not
alone…
My God is
with me!
Guiding and
Comforting, all the way.
Amen.//
Theodore
I’ll die for you.
Let the anger
pass over you
Like an
ocean wave capsized
By the
heavenly stars.
And the
moon. Oh, Moon!
In Jesus’
Name,
Amen…
I wish you
knew how it felt
To feel a
sense of pain
I wish the
ching would release;
I wish that
night’s oppression
Would cease
But like all
mad and scary
Things, this
too shall pass!//
Theodore,
How Much I Love Thee!
So much I
cannot say.
I plucked
the Sun and Stars
And Moon
from Heaven, Down,
And Hung
them above thy
Pillow where
thee sleep thy
Sleepy sweet
head; that
Thee could
look up at
Heaven when
thee art sleeping!
In Jesus’
Name,
Amen.////
