Scanned by Yu/stan/Kema on 2-18-16. Personal photograph.
I had a fuzzy little dog
With golden, brownish hair.
He ran with me across the yard,
His nose up in the air.

His body shook with ecstasy
Each time he smelled some food. 
He hunted down and gobbled up
Good meat with gratitude.

His ruff was thick around his head,
And it was white as snow.
And everywhere I tried to walk,
He was sure to go.

His brown eyes sparkled in the sun.
His tongue was long and pink.
He smiled when we were having fun.
One time I saw him wink.

He'd lay beside me in the grass,
His head upon my knee.
The joy we shared was multiplied
 When he would laugh at me.

He is deceased, but still I think
Of him when he would lay
And look at me with soft brown eyes.
I miss him every day.

The Gift From God

Found on Pinterest on 3-9-16. Christ in the air.
It is the time for Christmas
For we smell the Christmas trees
And see the Holly's red berries
Wrapped around the wreaths.

The weather has turned colder
And snow is in the air.
There is a spirit of giving
Found in hearts everywhere.

The sound of Christmas carols
Makes our spirits bright.
We celebrate the Christ child
Who reflects God's light.

God gives to us His Son,
A gift that sets us free
From death so we can live
For all eternity.

Rain is falling from the sky
And leaves are twirling nearby.
I kick the dead leaves in the street
And smile at everyone I meet.

The trees are dressed in orange and red,
Their leaves respendent overhead.
A cool breeze dances through the trees
Right before a good, hard freeze. 

Bonfires are burning in the night.
Children's faces reflect the light.
Autumn brings a lot of fun
After Summer's finally done.

Fall is such a special time.
Everything is in it's prime.
Each season is God's gift to us.
Fall leaves are simply glorious.

There is a touch of Autumn
Lingering in the air.
The leaves are falling downward
And trees will soon be bare.
                                                                                           
The grass is turning yellow
And birds are on the wing.
It won't be long until
We have forgotten Spring.

The harvest moon is coming
And long walks in the woods.
We'll build a roaring campfire
And put on our jacket hoods.

Cold cheeks in late October
And the making of S'Mores
Reminds us of the wonder
Of going out-of-doors.

Take me down to the Valley of Thunder
Where the horses run free and wild.
My heart will soar with absolute joy
As it did when I was a child.                                                                   

They will lift their heads and smell the air
Like they did so long ago.
We'll ride on the backs of horses we love
And we'll race to the river below.

The earth will shake from the horses hooves,
And our hair will fly in the wind.
We'll feel the strength of their muscles beneath
And we'll ride 'til the journey's end.

The feeling of wind, ourselves, and the horse,
Stays magical in our minds.
The memories we hold dear within
Will last for a very long time.

Found on Pinterest on 5-24-17. hegsted.com. Derek Hegsted.




All that I am
and strive to be
comes before You
on bended knee.

I'm broken and spent
and I'm empty-handed
in a world full of evil
where I feel stranded.

My heart is heavy
for those in pain
and for the stressors
that seem to remain.

It's all I can do
to stay on my feet
and take a step forward
and not feel defeat.

So many losses
over the years
have taken a toll
and left me in tears.

My faith has been shattered
in all I once knew.
I became angry
and distanced from You.

I come to You, God,
with my heart in my hands.
I'm tired and exhausted.
Will You understand?

I just want to stand
in the warmth of Your light
and hear You say: 
" It will be alright."

Just, rock me to sleep
 by the light of the moon
and promise me, please,
You'll be coming back soon.

Holy is the One who came


To save us from our sins.


God gave to us His greatest gift


To help us make amends.


He sent His Son to die for us


And gave us life eternal.


He helps us deal with obstacles


Because He is paternal.

On Christmas Day we honor Christ


For all He did for us,


And when we give we can


extend


The gifts of blessedness.

I’ve been given many mountains


552db65bc185af2471d48e4ed7d1f7d1.Pin.10-8-15.
Found on Pinterest on 10-8-15.


To climb in my life.


Some have been easy


And some full of  strife.


 


There were mountains I thought


I could not climb,


But I practiced persistence


And climbed them the next time.


 


There were days I felt strong


And days I felt weak.


Some days I cried hard


And could not speak.


 


But I kept on climbing.  


 I could see far below


The obstacles before me


And the way I should go.


 


I have one more mountain


To climb before death:


To fulfill God’s purpose


Before my last breath.


-Yu/stan/kema-

Peaceful-9-21-16 Pinterest.




 Follow me down to the river


 On a bright, clear summer day.


We’ll search for minnows by the river bank


And take the time to play.


 


Follow me out to the meadow


Where the wild flowers grow.


We’ll stop and smell all the flowers


And dance as the wind blows.


 


Follow me down to the sea,


And we’ll walk in the drifting tide.


We’ll pick up sea shells on the shore


And open our arms wide.


 


Follow me down the road of life


And give me a helping hand.


When the road seems long and hard,


Just tell me you’ll understand.


 


For life is always a mixture


Of joy as well as sorrow,


And while today may be full of loss,


There is always the hope of tomorrow.


-Yu/Stan/Kema-

Let us give thanks for being alive
And having the courage to survive.
Let us be thankful for good friends
And family on whom we can depend.
Thank You God, for our daily bread,
And the wonderful books we have read.
Let us give thanks to God on high
For the birds that sing as they fly.
                                                                                        
Forgive us God when we fail to see
Your gifts to us can set us free.
For even in loss, when all is gone,
God gives us hope with each new dawn.
When we are lost  in the darkest night,
The moon and stars bring us home with light.
And when death comes and  life is done,
God gives us Life through His only Son.
-Yu/stan/kema-
