THE DAY I SAGN OFF KEY

Christmas Joys

Christmas comes but once a year

Bringing joy, and toys.

Presents all wrapped under the tree

For good little girls and boys.

My heart delights in all the signs

Of Christmas on the way.

Sometimes I wish that it would come

And then all year would stay!

The food is luscious to our lips.

The presents best of all.

The very best present I believe

Is Jesus' birth in a humble stall.

My heart overflows with expectation

As I await the day.

Yes, I believe in santa Claus

Who comes upon his sleigh.

Believing is such an important part

Of every Christmas play.

That I feel sorry for the ones

Without faith upon this day! 

Beki At Two

You tickle my fancy!

You clown doll.

You remind me so much of me

When I was little.

Stay free, uninhibited, charming, always.

I love your spirit of fun,

Good times.

Let's celebrate you together.

Backward

Oh time in your flight

Make me a child again

Just for  tonight!

America's Wailing Wall

We have a living wailing wall

In America today.

It lives, it breaths

And cries out,

Loudly,

With the spirits who live inside!

The men who gave their lives in Nam

To finally end the curse of war.

A reminder of the futility

Suffered by men once more.

"When will it end?", we said again,

As we had said before.

Unlike Jesus, once for all,

Was Viet Nam really

The last great war?

Or will that threat return again

For man's final great Amen?

Agape Love

If I ever have another husband,

Gosh, I hope I don't,

Will he take walks with me

To laugh, to talk about things important to me?

Watch a sunset,

Listen to a symphony, or country music

With me by his side, holding my hand?

Enjoy ice cream on apple pie

Without counting calories?

Will he walk with patient adoration without rushing

Through museums or art galleries?

Go barefoot in the sand

To listen to the waves crashing against the land?

Enjoy being alone with me?

Holding my hand to protect me?

When I hold his hand

Will I feel the love, presence of God

In our lives.....quietly?

Will he love me, cherish me,

Smile at me so peacefully, so lovingly

As Don does?

I want our love story to continue

For many more years.

I doubt that Romeo and Juliet

Ever had the same feelings

Or shared the vicissitudes and crisis

That we have overcome.

If they had then they would 

Never, no not ever

Want to die 

To leave 

The world

Vacant

Of such agape love!

Abstraction

So many people are puzzled

By abstract paintings

You see

Attempting to explain them

Seems to have been left to me

Take a simple example

Perhaps a family

One stroke is the family

One more could be a tree

Use imagination 

When looking for delight

It jumps right out it catches you

When you study it just right

You'll see horses, people, fantasy

They come alive in painting strokes

So keep looking you'll enjoy it

Not just sophisticated but there for common folks
