"Child of God I Weep For Thee"
Ah Child Of God I weep for thee
Whose feet touched mediterranean shores many times
And Scorneth Wealth and Statues as flies to Honey
Ah Child of God I weep for thee
When Worlds Crumbling down, down, fallen stars
and a ring through thy nose not on thy finger as it should be
Ah Child of God I weep for thee
Whose disease is a blight in the sight of all
and what disease they claim it be they very soul!
Ah Child of God I weep for thee
Long shall you wait on heaven's glassy shore
Long shall you gaze upon the open sea for your love
Ah Child Of God I Weep For Thee
When poverty engulfs thee like a worm upon a hook
and thee art mocked a taking thy fate with thy poor brave husband
Ah Child Of God I weep for thee
Yet there there is something the cards have not yet played
In Heaven thy light restored, and on earth may thy work be ever displayed!
In JEsus' Name,
Amen.

"I Finally Wrote You a Song"
I Saw your Face in a Flower, a purple daisy
I stayed there staring at you for a million years
When I awoke from your daydream everyone was dead
from old age, a million years can do that, and the world was gone
i just had this flower, and in it i saw your face, and it was
it was the most beautiful face in all the universe and although
the stars wheeled about our heads and all the natural disasters raged
and a million years passed along with a million civilizations
yet they were nothing to me your face was in a flower
and one day the flower whispered to me, "I belong to you"
and so I realized i belonged to you to and my flower
was all i needed to carry me back into immortality.
In JEsus' Name,
Amen.//

Malady

A Feeling of Loss, of Vaccum Displaced
A Longing to stay alive and recover from disease
sickness woe and malady all discombobulated into a nauseaous oneness
dizzy the ceiling seems to spin woe is mortality
"if i make it through this...", i think....and pray i will
they laugh at my disease and blame it on me
but the malady is worse than their blame and cruelty
and it is doing more damage to the body than to the soul
sickness deprives the body of living and the soul of dreaming
a lazy fan twirling gently, ominously, in a hot room
and flies settle on dirty crusts of old bread 
the malady is taking me i feel as though i were sinking under a wave
and being carried out to sea, never to return
praying to the Gods and wishing i was not a mortal!

"If We Survive This"
If We Survive this i will live
my life in bliss with Theodore
i will write nearly every day of my life
i will be grateful for every second
that i am given, washing over me
like snow, pure white forest snow
settling on a steady pine bough.
gathering momentum and mass
with the addition of every snowflake
that my soul, a prism, refracts, alone
you cant make people love you
you can't find love it comes to you
if people don't love you that is no loss
homage i think they should pay to God
I am busy praying and i feel the love of God.

"Hope"

When people write poetry they pray

and light shines forth like a fire

We say to ourselves, how am I going to do this?

When we attempt achievement naturally --

for greatness was never won easily!

The sound of syllables

is an echo within the heart residing in inner peace and hope

which is in the effort; the victory is God's

and when one watches the wind worrying the water

or tousling the trees, a Poet cannot help but feel

The Love of God!  

"Horizon"
I Dream of Seeing The Horizon
The edge of the world possibly at the sea
i dream of a sky full of stars
everywhere you look there will be stars
and wind, and warmth, and water
i dream of a horizon you can gaze into
and dream of your destiny there
i dream of seeing the horizon line of the earth
then i will know that there is still hope
trapped in a building in a crowded city,
you cannot go outside the only life you can know
are the plants you grow on your porch---
but i dream of a clear, open sky with horizons stretching
as far as the eye can see
I dream of Hope and freedom
and if i keep praying to God, I believe,
i have faith, that my husband theodore and i
will live to see that day, when we are free
i dream of seeing the horizon Someday.
Then I will know there is hope for mankind.
In JEsus' NAme Amen.

"Why I Believe in JEsus"
I Believe Because the night is cold, fierce, lonely and wild.
I believe because the wind listeth not where it bloweth,
and the wind maketh me feel alive on my cheeks like
the breath of God.  I believe because of flowers blooming.
I believe because I am still alive, and grateful for this life
I believe because my heart leads me thence i believe blindly
i was not born a believer i converted around the age of eighteen
or twenty and that was because i was terrified to live my life alone
and jesus came to me in my illness and spoke kind words he
he was my crutch when i could not see he is the only one who is kind
to me.  I believe.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
