looking out the window of my life
everyones asleep even my wife

its cloudy and gray, my flag is blowing to and fro
its a cold look and no foot prints in the new snow

seeing people shuffle off to work
as i sit warm in my house with a smirk

so many things i can see
even out the baren trees

so as i look outside my window this morning
pretty sure the grayness is a warning

COLOR
Oh my I have to confess
the color of a rainbow is the best.
The different shades in harmony
a comfort that my eyes can see.
Red , blue ,green, yellow gold,
side by side beaming bold .
These brilliant lines up stage the rest,
the color of a rainbow is the best.

really my favorite color changes with the mood I feel at the time. I have favorite color for cars and favorite color for eyes favorite color for shoes...
next tag..... FOOD ... food you eat (not food for the soul)

Mexican, Chinese, Italian
These three sound good to me
Lots of recipes to cover
Much for my tummy to see

I love the aromas in the kitchen
Lots of spices simmer
I love the way it melts on my tongue
I love the way it makes me feel done.


{Sorry I haven't been around much lately, it's been a sick household for a couple of weeks }

TAG: MUSIC

THIS MAY MAKE NO SENSE, BUT HERE IT GOES.

SINGER

There~s an image

in my mind,

something beautiful

I keeep seeing,

it`s you becoming

everything you ever

dreamed of being.

You just put a foot

before you,

on the path you

thought of taking

and on the way ahead,

you found the light

of a dream in the making.

Sure a little rain fell

to darken the hour,

but you kept your eyes ahed

and drew on the power

you found within yourself

and in the image you kept seeing

of becoming everything (singer)

you ever dreamed of being.





I am in the church choir now, but hope to be better in music .

Tag::::::::::: ANGELS anyone want to try


nancy

angels in the sky
angels to be our guide

watching over us
without much fuss

to help us when we are down
they seem to always be around

angels are our there for a reason
and protect us through the seasons

protecting our souls
from our sides angels never go

COPY CAT

---------------------------
okay this is one I had already written... years ago enjoy...

Grandmother ( 1991)


Show no disrespect to the ocean; treat her dear.

Its Bodies holding all of histories future so near.

All of life she gave from so deep within.

To reap her and to rape her is more then just a sin

Treat her gently for frail now, she is old

Tread oh so lightly respect and behold

NO! Grand Ocean, man should not be so rude and coarse

Upon you their faults and themselves they do force

I can hear your secrets whispering, I can hear you cry…

You can see me looking and you can hear my bottomless sigh.

good evening Ladies hope all is well


heres my animal one


I watch a horse go by in the meadow
It's far off and kind of yellow
Running strong and proudly through the tall grass
Slapping, slashing whipping the a $$
Yes it is a jack, and not a true horse
But the path it runs. It runs the same course
It feels the same beauty as it runs through the field
Knowing it's not a horse yet with so much zeal
It charges and runs through the tall grass
What I thought was a horse, is just an a $$

spring

When I am down,

Or when i feel blue.

I go to my garden,

Where everything is fresh;

All so lovely and new...


Some perennials for shade,

and some for sunlight.

Give off such magnificent color,

oh what pure delight...


The chirping of the birds,

along with the buzzing of bees.

Blends naturs harmony,

into such sweet melodies...


Up above there are

white clouds and blue skys;

In the air i see the gentle flutter

of color butterflies.........


Rows of flowers

Roses and trees;

The wind unpon my face

Like a warm summer breeze....


My garden is tranqil,

with much joy and bliss;

The sweet whipers of softness

I never want to miss..


So to my garden i go,

from day to day;

Seeing the beauty og gods love,

MELTS ALL OF MY TROUBLES AWAY...



i hope this sprin.g. to me a garden is flowers and vegtables which to me is start of spring.....

how about children

nancy

am cheating here using two that i did yrs ago when i was a sole parent of my two sons


"Waiting"
I sit here in the doctor's waiting room
My feelings and fears continue to bloom
I hope soon they find out what's wrong inside him
At every dead end my hopes become dim
It scares me to think I can do nothing for my child
But to hold him and hug him and merely smile
I want him to be well so he can enjoy a normal day
Then he comes to me and says
Dad I had another seizure, please help me
Sometimes it hurts so much I just want to be free
Free from the pain and all the sorrow
Sometimes just wishing I don't have to deal with tomorrow
My child means so much to me so much to my heart
It is not fair that a young child has to have such a horrible start
To have to go through life feeling these pains
So he smiles says I'm OK and knows not his father is slowly going insane



" The silence of the children"
I love my children so true
You ask how many, well there are two
Both of them rowdy boys I love so dear
Already I wonder where are the years
~~~~~~~~
It scares me to think of them grown
Me with no one to care for at home sad and alone
I know I need not worry about what they will do
For I have taught them always be honorable and true
~~~~~~~~~~
Knowing with all the bad things they have done
I hold no remorse, regrets, absolutely none.
They will grow to be men of truth and grace
Knowing they are men is what puts a smile on my face
~~~~~~~~~~
So remember if you have children too,
Spend time with them now, or someday you will be blue
Wondering what you did and why you are alone
Only to hear the silence of children, because now they are gone(c)
