"A Magical Tea Pot"
I Have, In My Possessions,
A Great and Wonderful Tea Pot
At First Sight This May Not Appear
To Many To Be A Particularly
Special Tea Pot, yet to me it is
My Life Blood.  Years Gone By
My Tea Pot Has Always Been By My Side
In Good Times And Oh, How Often in
Horrible Times Alike, My Resilient
Little Tea Pot Has Weathered Many Storms
But More So!  It Keeps Me Alive and Sane
Where Would I Be Without My Tea Pot
It is a source of Endless Strength in Hot Tea
Ever Burbling Fountain of Hot Fresh Tea
Just For Me, And If I Pour You A Cup Of Tea
From My Personal Teapot, Then You Are
A Very Important Person To Me.  White.
It is white porcelain, simple and chaste in design,
yet
It might as well be a genie's lamp in hard times
in my hour of need, I Pour Myself, Wearily,
A Fresh Cup Of Tea.  And Every Once In
A While, I Run It Through The Dishwasher!
This is, Verily and Truly, A Great Tea Pot
So many times is has Saved My Life, amazing
that something so ordinary at first sight should have
such a remarkable and beautiful impact on my life.
This is a Great Tea Pot! I Love You, My Tea Pot.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

"Breathless"
Breathless, We Arrive At Target, Glorious
Two Glorious Women Beautiful in our Independence
And our different and individual strength, we are best friends
We are two ladies come to seek for cleaning products
yogurt and bread, and we giggle as we muse about how
is precisely the most effective ways to clean a house
buying dryer sheets and detergent for clothes
choosing comet and Dawn dish soap and even,
even a toilet brush, is welcome in our buggy
these little womanly things, they are important
and the purchasing of them has a purpose because
we then separate and go home, and we clean
scrubbing merrily away at grime and dust, happily
because we love one another, we love our husbands
and so we delight in sharing the domestic chores
of womanhood, and giggling breathless among
the shelves of cleaning chemicals, we share beaming joy
because we are each loved by our husbands
and this events truly does satisfy our souls.
Breathless!
In Jesus' NAme,
Amen

"Queen Anne's Lace"
Memory fondly sees, Among the long enduring span of years,
Some Lacy White Little Clusters of Blossoms scattered in a field
Spanned on elegant beams from a central axis
Blooming its very heart out in the sunshine
Blooming hope into the soul, the meadows of memory
Taking me back itno the days when the meadow
Was A Sea And The Oats Cascaded Down and up
Dancing In The Wind How I Long For That Meadow
The Wild Flowers And Queen Anne's Lace Tousled
Like Mother NAtures Hair, in a raging sea of windblown
Grasses, golden and soft to the touch
Scattered Like Prayers To Jesus
In JEsus' Name,
Amen

"Beautiful"
I was tired and you held me
I was tired forever and it showed
Age seeps in denying my youth the vigor
i seem to watch it fade in paralysed horror
hoping and hoping, that I will look better tomorrow
today i tried caking and drawing makeup all over my face
i looked quite young and quite beautiful but it was a mask
i would rather be the me i am underneath, than
wear a mask to hide my face beauty is an art
there is so much more to it than makeup
i feel most beautiful when i am in my husband's arms
or on those late four am nights i look in the mirror and smile
i feel more beautiful without makeup
i don't know why but i want to be myself
my soul is deep and beautiful, etched into my skin
character and wisdom underneath my eyes
i feel most beautiful wearing absolutely nothing
just a nightgown, with my hair pulled back into a tight bun
this is the way i really am
this is the woman my husband is in love with, me
this is aging gracefully
i feel more beautiful without makeup

"Opportunities And Delights"
There are so many so very pleasant Ways
That Hope Manifests itself in each of our daily lives
Each inbreath, each heartbeat, each meal and good health
that is hope and there is so much more opportunities
opportunities to do good, opportunities to Pray and
Serve God and Praise God and there is so much more delight
to delight in the physical and natural world just as it is
to delight in things like the passing of the sun
or the ripening of fruit and flowers or the delectable
taste of a tart berry squashing in one's mouth delight
delight in the big things and in the smallest things
if you can learn to feel delight in God's Simple Pleasures
Without Indulging Gluttonously, if You Can Discern
Between What You Need and What You just Don't Need
And Everything You Want is not Everything you need
But above all, delight!  Life is delightful simply, as it is!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen!

"Hope"
Hope is A Beautiful, Steadfast Thing
Glorious in even the tiniest of existence,
The Prey Escapes The Predator
The Unearthed seed falls on good soil
The neglected are cared for
The unloved are loved
Someone holds the door open for you
or tells you you look pretty
especially when it's a bad day
there are infinite ways that God's Hope
That Hope Itself
Is Manifesting Itself Within the Universe
It Never Ends.  This life is not a vicious cycle
in fact, all life is worth living
and all life is worth preserving
and there is nothing too small to save
and there is no cost too high for a life
any life so do not take lives
that is the devil that living things
must eat one another to stay alive
yet life is worth living and love
love is worth loving and life is a Joy
and it is all worth it in the end,
all the beautiful difficult things you do
no act of kindness is in vain
no love could ever be wrong
hope is born of rebirth in the Phoenix
which dies and scatters many seeds
and is yet reborn even more beautiful
than before! Though We Die, Yet We Live.
Live So That Others May Live.
Live For The Ones Around You
Be Conscious of Others around you
Exist to fulfill dreams prayers and needs
of others, and thee shalt count among
the Earth Angels and Saints born of God!
Hope never ends and it never fails.
In JEsus' Name,
Amen.

"Don't Want To Be Famous"
I Believe There is a Divine,
Lifesaving, Heavenly God-Willed Reason
That I am not Famous...I just
Get this feeling like goosebumps on my body
When i think
of all the kind and beautiful memories i'm sharing
With My Loved Ones, and so
I'm deeply grateful to God
Not To Be Famous
I Think My Poems Could Help Someone
Save A Life
All of my Loved Ones Know Exactly
And Honestly, How
Deeply
and Truly, that
I Love Each Of Them, and I
I feel like i am
like i am keeping us all alive
it may not be evident
but as long as i am here praying for them,
I know they are all
going to Be Alright.
Thank You, Lord God,
For The Life You Have
Given Me.  I should have realized
earlier
that you God Had and Have
A Greater Plan.
Thank You Lord God!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen! ^_^
