Christmas, gifts, giving, God, God's gift of Christ, Holly, Pinterest photo-3-9-16, Poetry by Yu/stan/kema; photo on Pinterest, Wreaths

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.

Brother, God, grief, letting go, loss, love, poetry by Yu/stan/kema, Ranching

I'm sorry that your brother died.
I know you carry tears inside.
You called him " Brother" all your life.
Your sorrow cuts you like a knife.

He sheltered you from every harm
And had a certain kind of charm.
You saw his flaws but loved him so,
And it is hard to let him go.

I'm sure he's trying to impress
God with his own worthiness.
He worked hard to build a ranch
And acquired a cowboy stance.

Now it's time to say good-bye. 
He's ridden his horse across the sky.
He knows he'll see you again 
And talk with you of now and then.

Giving Gifts With The Fairies.

Found on Pinterest on 9-21-16. Saved from peacefulafricandaisues.blogspot.com.

A dark-haired child
went down to the bank
of a clear-running stream
to play a small prank.

She knew that the fairies
came down there to play 
and she heard them giggle 
the day away.
She watched as they left 
a jug full of rum
and left-over food.
She started to hum.
She ate what was left
of the fairies lunch.
She cut them some flowers
and left them a bunch.

Then she hid in a tree
til the twilight faded
and took a long nap
while she patiently waited.
When the moon came out
and lit up the ground,
the fairies came back
and they gathered round.

They danced and they sang
and they chanted her name:
"Little girl, come out.
There's no need for shame." 

"Sing with us, child,
and dance here with me."
"Your feet will fly,
and soon you'll be free."

So she danced with them,                                                                                        
and sat for a while.
They begged her to sing
as she gave them a smile.                                                        

She started to sing                                                  
with a voice pure and clear.
The more she sang,
the angels drew near.                                      

They asked her to play                                                          
an old violin.
She took it and placed it
under her chin.

She drew the bow back, 
and the violin cried.
She played and it laughed,
and she made it sigh.

All who heard it
felt reconciled
towards God, who said:
"Well-done, My child."

Mountains To Climb.

Climbing mountains, God, Pinterest photo, poetry by Yu/stan/kema

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-

Acceptance of others, God, God's Grace, hope, love, peace, Pinterest photo, poetry by Yu/stan/kema, Shine your light, Thich Nhat Hanh

Shine the light that lies within you

Found on Pinterest on 10-24-16. Thich Nhat Hanh.

Given by a loving God.

Let its rays do the healing.

Let love be a lightning rod.

Let light overcome the darkness.

Let hope grow in every soul.

Let peace come to war-torn travelers,

For God’s grace shall make them whole.

There will be tribulations.

Loss will knock you to the ground.

You must rise to meet the challenge.

Soon, we’ll all be heaven-bound.

Be a part of building bridges.

Reach your hand to one another.

Put your differences aside,

And acknowledge he’s your brother.

Shine God’s light. Shine your light

Even in the darkest night.

Always try to do what’s right.

God’s protection is in sight.

God Makes The World More Complete.

God created a Garden                                                             

Veronique-coutie. Found on Pinterest-3-8-19.

With such infinite care. 

He filled it with lovely trees

And flowers that were rare.

 

He stood near a lofty giant

And touched its bark with His hands.

He could feel the tree sap flowing

As He gazed toward distant lands.

 

He carved the earth for a river

That would water the plants that grew

Throughout the Garden of Eden

That He had made brand new.

 

He was pleased when the river filled

With the rain He caused to fall

Over the grasses and flowers

And where the trees stood tall.

 

God walked in the cool of the evening

After the sun went down.

He enjoyed the beauty of summer

And sleeping on the ground.

 

Yet, He found something was missing                                 

Found on Pinterest on 6-21-18. Nature Walkz.com. By Christopher Gandy.

That would make it more complete.

So He created the birds to sing

Sweet notes they could repeat.

 

And the world was far more lovely

When He placed stars in the sky

And a moon to lighten the darkness

As the night drew nigh.

 

God loved what He had created

And was happy for a while,

But something was still missing.

He longed for another’s smile.

 

God created human companions

Who could love and converse with Him,

And  share in the beautiful music

Of the heavenly seraphim.

Sing A Song From The Heart.

When your heart is feeling anxious

Found on Facebook Timeline on 7-24-17. Country and Farm Photography. Taken by Carolyn Anderson.

And the world is spinning round,

When your legs keep on shaking

And your lips can’t make a sound,

 

Stop, whatever you are doing,

Sing a little song of joy.

Give thanks to God, The Father,

For the blessings of your boy.

 

When you feel like evil’s winning

And there’s nothing you can do,

Sing a song for the warrior

Who lives inside of you.

 

When you see that souls are hurting                         

And there’s nothing left to say,

Raise your voice and sing of comfort.

Hold them close for just a day.

 

Sing of beauty all around you:

How God paints the bluest sky

With the colors of the rainbow

When night is drawing nigh.

 

Sing a song of joy and laughter.

Sing of blessings from above

And spiritual connections

That reflect God’s greatest love.

The Seasons In Life.

changes, Choices we make., God, growth, New growth., Pinterest photo-facilisimo.com., Poetry by Yu/stan/kema., Seasons in life and in nature.

For years I’ve watched the seasons come,

And I’ve watched the seasons go.

They reflect that all living things

Change as they grow.

 

The seed lies dormant in the earth                                       

Found on Pinterest on 4-30-17. Saved from an article on facilisimo.com.

And then sprouts forth with life.

An infant lies in his mother’s womb

And is born with lots of strife.

 

A tree needs enough nutrients

In order to grow strong.

A baby needs good nourishment

For his body to grow long.

 

Spring brings the rain and the warm sun

That enables the tree to grow tall.

Childhood and adolescence give a child

Time to prepare for Fall.

 

A tree has leaves that shake and twist

In the Summer storms that pass by,

And they change to lovely colors as

The Fall season leaves them to die.

 

A young man faces the storms of life

With courage and a strong belief:

That God will be there through the worst

And  strengthen him in grief.

 

Or a man can choose to face those storms

With bitterness and hate,

And blame God for the things he lost

And leave the rest to fate.

 

For surely as the seasons pass,

Death comes to every man,

And he must choose to walk away,

Or reach out for God’s hand.

 

The tree drops seeds on the ground

And they end up down below 

The earth and wait until next Spring

When new trees will grow.

Yu/stan/kema.

A Light, Christ, God, going home, Holy Spirit, indulgy.com., Pinterest photo-Purple Meteor, Poetry by Yu/stan/kema.

There is a Light, a soft Light,

Much brighter than the sun,

And it is now available

For you and every one.

 

No need to fear the darkness                                    

Found on Pinterest on 12-17-16. Purple meteor.indulgy.com

Or getting lost some day,

For God will light the path

That will take you home to stay.

 

All you have to do now

Is let the Light come in.

Accept the Holy Spirit,

And let God be your friend.

 

When your life is over 

And you want to go home,

A soft Light will guide you

And you’ll never be alone.

Summer In Kansas

The rain falls gently                                              

Found on Pinterest on 7-19-18. My soul landscapes. paysages de l’ame-colecoes.. Google+.

On the grasses and trees.

The blazing days of summer

Can bring you to your knees.

 

The wheat grows tall

And the corn taller still.

In the state of Kansas,

You can hear the whippoorwill. 

 

The sun paints the sky 

With shades of pink and yellow.

Cows lie down beside

Wild flowers in the meadow.

 

Night comes slowly

With the dying of the light.

Peace comes quickly

As the stars shine bright.

 

Sounds of the insects

Can cause your eyes to close.

God laughs softly

When you start to doze.
