Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker
If you are trying to soothe your soul

and then there are the conventional ways
Of meditation, prayer, and worship

But one of the best
More than all of the rest
Is a tightly held hand
Or a head on a chest
And the feeling of being together

Tag: chocolate/dandy or passion/passionate

Passion's like a fire!
Burns deep within my heart,
Heightens my desire-
To live, that's a start!

Passion rides the storm
Of life's creative force!

To what do I owe passion?
That drive to live and act-
To meet with my creator
To know His love and truth-
To Be His love and truth...

That is my desire,
O' fill me deep with passion,
The fire which moves me on,
Blowing like the winds
Beyond the open door
Through every nook and cranny
Nothing can escape
This pure and simple fate
That life is ever present
In passion's living state.

Tag=song

She sweetly sang the lullaby
As she held the baby to her breast
A made-up song of happiness
And of all being right with the world

It was that way for too short of a time
Although the days seemed long
Spent in the harsh little waiting room
Peeking through the ICU window slats

Now she sings a mournful song
About how nothing’s right in the world
She still sings a baby lullabye
But with only a photo clutched to her breast

*In honor of all the mothers I have watched hope against hope until all hope was lost and their baby slipped away to take a journey-a journey that one mother said was much too long of a journey for such a tiny soul to take all alone.

I wanna give gma a special hug too
song of joy hummm... here goes nothing blame it on the heat

My Song Of Joy-BMW-
I did sing a song of joy on a certain day
when I got back home again,
and the pain had slid away.
I found some good in life once more
and saw how far I've come
not in mileS but as in now and from before
I sang a song of joy as silent as it was loud
A song of joy that did echo off the cloud.

Next TAG - COOL DOWN

There were great words and ideas in that poem, BMW


Cool Down

I wrote the letter hurredly
wanting to get my feelings out
Frustration, Defensive, and Blame
All true feelings, but so intense

Luckily, knowing how dangerous E-mail can be...
I printed it off and sat with it awhile
Cooled down a lot and rewrote my words
Now a kindler, gentler version can be sent

But will it bring the desired effect
Hands reaching inside his heart
To wring out empathy for me and my story
Will it bring about a new start

Maybe I shouldn't have cooled down
And just left my feelings presented raw
would it have hurt or would it have helped
Maybe time will tell

Next Tag: Cool Down (because I have a feeling it was supposed to be about cooling down from the summer heat. smile)

Lemon slices cut just so
and perched sugared on the rim
The lemonade was so fancy and refreshing
I'm sure it was a sin

A dozen lemons, halved and seeded
Mixed with ice and sugar in the big antique jar
Topped off the picnic with perfect grace
And left smiles upon her face

Now lemonade is a little simpler
Shake the packet of powder in a bottle of water
And you are good to go
But with the same results-a perfect drink
To cool down the summer heat

Drinking it on a front porch swing
Seems an ideal way to enjoy
But drinking it "au naturel" is also a choice
And one that's hard to beat


Next Tag: Cool Down or Heat Up, Speed Up, Rev Up, Revive

I Rev For You - BMW-
Rev it up this is a T.A. !
We cant be here all day
We've not 1 or 3 but 6 to do
and check in is right at 2
Rev it up no brake till then
Rev it up and do it again
No stopping girl, keep the pace.
Rev it up and clean this place.
Rev it up 207 is early and waiting

Next Tag - - - prevail,

Prevail -BMW-
If I only knew
what will prevail
with the things
My mind is frail
So I place my Bet
and butter the bread
stay on the straight
Try to sway the spread
What dose prevail...
It is Hope and Love
Just gotta believe
Gods working from up above.

A New Life

It’s a new life,
And a new start,
This discovery,
Plays a vital part.
It’s a new life,
A brand new day,
No obstacles,
Nothing in the way.
It’s a new life,
And a new hope,
Instinctively,
You know you will cope.
It’s a new life,
There’s a new goal,
With continued strength,
Of heart and of soul…
