horses, love, Pinterest photo, poetry by Yu/stan/kema, riding

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.

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."

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.

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.

peaceful night, Pinterest photo, poem by Yu/stan/kema., safety

Light fades slowly

with the coming of the dusk.

Babies sigh softly,                                     

Found on Pinterest on 9-21-15.

as they learn to trust

the arms that rock them

‘Til day-light disappears.

Eyes glow brightly

as love removes their fears.

 

Darkness covers valleys

and hides the mountains high.

Birds are moving gently

when MAMA-birds are nigh.

Night-in-gales are singing

before they go to sleep.

God will keep all creatures

safe within His keep.

The Loss of God At The Border Crossing.

abuse, Incarceration., Loss of God, Loss of humanity at the Border., Neglect, Pinterest photo, Poetry by Yu/stan/kema., Separation from family.

Hey, little girl with the weary eyes,

You’ve been told so many lies.

Your family fled to keep you safe.

They told you, “Have a little faith.”

 

You crossed the ocean in a little boat.

You prayed to God that it would float.

There was little to drink and little to eat,

But you never gave in to stark defeat.

 

Surely, there had to be somewhere,                       

A Country existed that would care.                            

A place where you could find relief

And heal inside the terrible grief

 

Of losing the only home you had,

Because your world had turned mad.

You crossed a desert in the burning sand,

God would bring you to the promised land.

 

You climbed a hill, saw the barbwire fence,

Breathed in a gas that made you wince.

Your mother stumbled and then feel down.

Someone took you without a sound.

 

You cried for your mother and little brother,

While you were put in the hands of another.

You yelled and screamed as they took you away.

They told you to: “Shut-up,” that fateful day.

 

You coped with hunger and ignored your pain.

You learned to keep warm in the pouring rain.

Neglect was a major part of your life.

The loss of your mom cut like a knife.

 

You learned not to trust the human race.

God was gone without leaving a trace.

” America’s promise was just a lie.

They’ve left an innocent soul to die.”

Tribute on Independence Day- Rewritten.

equality, Fighting for freedom, Freedom from tyranny., Independence Day, Justice for all., Memorial Day. Singing through the rain., Pinterest photo, Poetry by Yu/stan/kema.

Many brave men fought

with dignity and honor

to carry their Country’s flag

In the midst of battle.

 

They stood firm

in their resolve

To live with freedom

from tyranny.

 

Found on Pinterest on 5-29-16. Memorial Day from Singing Through The Rain.

They fought hard

for equal justice

under the same law

and respect for all.

 

They were strong men

who stood, side by side,

men who were strangers

because of skin color.

 

They faced death as one

in the heat of battle

and learned to call

each other, “brothers.”

 

They came to accept

their sacrifice and pain

in leaving behind,

their wives and children.

 

They carried the scars                               

of war inside their hearts.

They came back to find

their world had changed.

 

They saw hatred for others,

and the removal of civil rights, 

the erosion of cherished ideals, 

and political division without end.                                                                                                                              

                                

“We did not die for this,” they cried.

“We must join our hands together,

and bind up the nation’s wounds.”

“We must find the courage to speak as one.”

EVERLASTING LOVE

O Love that holds me steadfast,                           

Even when my will is strong,

Who forgives my sinful past,

O Love that raises me from death

And cleanses my soul from sin.

Christ renews my every breath

And leaves His light within.

life, Pinterest photo, poetry by Yu/stan/kema, The ups and downs of living.

Life seems to be an endless

Cycle of events.

Some days you swear it all

Doesn’t make any sense.

 

There are days when it seems                      

Found on Pinterest on 7-24-17.

Things come together well

And life appears to be

Like a happy fairy tale.

 

Then there are times

When it all falls apart,

And you are left coping

With a shattered heart.

 

It is hard to keep a balance

Of the good and the bad,

And yet remain stable

When tears make you sad.

 

Just when you have it all,

Life throws you a curve.

You try to keep on going

And hope you keep your nerve.

 

You pull yourself together

And learn to say good-bye.

You hope you find meaning

In life before you die.

Nature Gives Respite For The Spirit.

beauty, clouds, flowers, Honeysuckle blooms, hope, leaves, nature, Pinterest photo, Pinterest photo-Days of grace-cherie., Poetry by Yu/stan/kema., Respite, Smells, soul, Spirit, Sweet rest.

When I was just a girl of eight,

I stretched out flat upon the ground,

And on my back I saw the world

With a blue sky, heard natural sounds.

 

Found on Pinterest on 7-17-15. Days of grace-cherie.

 

I felt my soul fly out of me

And land on top a soft white cloud.

I embraced the universe

And heard an angel laugh out loud.

 

All around me Beauty breathed

And blew sweet hope into my chest.

She wrapped me in serenity, 

And gave me a much-needed rest.

 

The scent of sweet tender leaves

Moved gently through the tall oak trees.

Found on Pinterest on 6-13-16.

The smell of Honeysuckle blooms

Drifted across the morning breeze.

 

I saw one-hundred flowers dance

And lift their faces to the sun.

They smiled and bowed their heads in prayer

And gave thanks to the Holy One.

 

In me there grew such ecstasy.

It blew the storms of life aside.

It gave me respite for a day

And brought back hope that had died.
