| Just a lil inspiration.....
Posted: 5/9/2006 5:57:22 PM | That's all it usually takes....Right!!! Hey KM.....Thought I would drop this one off.......lol......and Run!!!
Truth is a harshness
For a fair price paid...
Judgment not a factor
As Lies die and fade
Many harbor them
And wish them true
Only to find the nothingness
For which their feelin's imbue
And some use hate
Accompanied by deceit
To destroy any others
They just happen to meet
Why is this what they seek?
Who's nature have they made so weak?
For them I have nothing
Not even a whisper of thought
Sightless is their truth as they deny
Torture of another's soul I wonder why....
For simple twisted pleasure in they find
To these are ones I pay no mind
Never.....keep me down
Your words on def ears found
Try 'n' cut me to the core....
Ignorance....just your way
All I'll offer is a smile to say
" 'Cause to me...Your Thoughts...matters no more | |

Divinity Ever After
10 May 2006
When thoughts of you
were a global transfix
There was always tomorrow
as if the tide was still to reach
white sands of a heart walking forth
This freedom of bare toes upon feet
footprints to ponder over been
Your yesterday, another wave to break
just know love was more than words
More than words to give
scented upon those to desire
Divinity ever after
another one to taste
Fruit, nectar, flavour maid
milk of kindness, reality borne
When thoughts of you were in beauty
a heart unable to escape, tranquillity
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and
ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit,
and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye
shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”
John 15: 16 KJV

| one I prepared before
Posted: 5/10/2006 9:03:54 PM | Although I didn't know it
She was my role model for life
And though I didn't always show it
I loved her oh so much
The hugs I took for granted
The kisses sometimes not wanted
Were given just the same....
With love
Always ready to listen
Always there......
The notes in school lunches
Would tell me how much she cared
And what she taught me
Became a part of me
I am so very grateful
For this precious legacy
When I look at my daughter..
Secure that she is loved
I remember my mother
And thank God I was her child
Sunday is Mother's day and I remember a woman who was your archetypal British stalwart......who lived in India and Africa, in the 1940's on, who was a true Colonial and who was kind to everyone regardless of colour creed or circumstance. I don't think I ever heard her say a nasty thing about anyone!!!
She died in 1989 and I still miss her and her wacky sense of humour. I am who I am and I am the parent I am because of the lessons she taught me...most of which were subliminal! My childhood was privileged, but was also very happy because of my mother.....My relationship with my daughter is what it is because of my mother...."Mummy I miss you"
A Happy Mother's Day to you all

Posted: 5/11/2006 10:08:08 AM | While were paying tribute to all of the amazing women in our lives,heres a poem I wrote for my Grandmother who has since passed on.Ill try to find one of the ones I wrote about my Mom too
Spending time alone in the attic
I try to touch my feelings
They shrink away like paper tigers
Trapped under water
Black and white photographs
Of someone elses memories
Black and white eyes
Cant quite capture the essence of the way
Im told her she really sparkled
Faint and distant memories of mine
Fill in all her wonderful colors
She had a Mona Lisa smile,and dark almond eyes like my mothers
Posing in her light blue silk sunday dress
The breakfast table where she sipped her tea
With quiet ladylike confidence
Her sincerity strength and love
Somehow escaped the lens of the camera
Technology missed her colors
My imagination reaches out a timeless artists brush
To fill them in where her life left off
Someone will remember she sparkled that way
She used to spend hours alone in the attic
Looking through her hope chest
The place her sacred memories rest
Surrounding me in warmth
Like a blue silk sunday dress
As I reach to sip my tea
With ladylike elegance
Such tenderness,strength,and love I feel
Yet it somehow seems to have escaped the lens of the world
Technology has replaced so many of its colors
I will fill them in with love as I go along
I will remember | |

Posted: 5/11/2006 10:16:06 AM | Here is a poem I wrote for my mother who passed away on March 17,2000 (St Pattys day) My mother was an inspiration to everyone whose lives she touched,which were many.She was my best friend, and grew the most exquisite flower gardens I had ever seen from tiny little seeds. Most importantly she was the most loving ,caring person I have ever been blessed to know.Even though shes no longer with me,her love was so strong for her family,that it will always be with us
Walking in the garden
Moonflowers explode
and fragrance the night
Morning glorys
Trumpet vines
Capture the essence
Of another time
Someone elses footsteps
Once decorated this place
I close my eyes more tightly
Im blinded by her grace
She was the most beautiful
One Ive ever seen
Sometimes we hold hands
Embacing in a dream
Retracing footseps
To the secret corners
Of my mind
back to a time
When my mothers hand
Held mine
(somehow my post was split up by the poem oops:)She taught me to appreciate the simple things in life and to always have a kind word for people,because we never know what someone else is going through.Anyway,hope yall enjoyed the poem..Have a great day,Kat

A Star that Shined
11 May 2006
Your beauty was a star that shined
your voice, one that God touched
To reach out and know He was true
this Christ of Saviour within you
No understanding required
in knowing this grace
Ever beauty, ever all
unto Christ upon her face
Captured to breast
a child in swaddling clothes
His heart was yours
all true for no lie would he give
On this road, this path to will
He knows you live
Your beauty, that star that shined
each night, each day, forever and eternal
His love was your charity to in voice sing
“for Valerie-Lynn”
“And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us,
and hath given himself for us an offering and
a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.”
Ephesians 5: 2 KJV

Country Girl from Georgia
11 May 2006
Just a country girl from Georgia, U-S-A
how true was that, for her beauty
was more than Dallas, void of Texas to stay
With her eyes that shine, her heart so warm
the voice of an angel added to her breath
On this pathway of Cedartown to Atlanta
this place of Georgia to the west,
where Rome was another day
A starlit night rising to the moon
if only to close your eyes in knowing this was home
Spirits brought together in unity
south of Nashville, this place of Tennessee
Like a union city, a world made small
this love to give, miles to count
The destination a peach to mount
frames of a picture told in words of voice sing
“When I feel lost and so alone, trials and tribulations are plentiful
Oh I just close my eyes and I am home.”
lyrics: - “Whenever I Fall”
written by Erin Simms (UK)
vocals by Valerie Lynn, US singer/songwriter
Cedartown, Dallas, Rome, Union City and Atlanta are in the state
of Georgia, USA. Nashville is in the state of Tennessee, USA

Enlightening to Heart
12 May 2006
Each touch was summer
those found deep within a soul
This place of thunder of a heart
an enlightening to share
As if love was a world away
no one to mask the shade given
Where was hope, if Christ did live
this endurance unto God in living alive
Georgia upon a mind, its spirit never estranged
another shadow linked a world away
Destination the only journey to live
forever this eternity in sacrifice
An address to balance, hope on hold
such was charity to faith conquest
To have fallen deep, deep into your soul
as if prayers were all to know
and for God in His heart to keep
“That was when I knew that I was falling
yes deeply falling for you”

Valerie Lynn, Georgia USA

Valerie’s Psalm
12 May 2006
Could it be true
this way in loving you
A way of making tomorrow a brighter day
a day of hope, a day of less sorrow
just to be there
Just to be out in a world of loving you
a world closer to a heart
Ever stretched to distance
not too far to endure
Could it be true
would God answer a prayer
Love was real although
the distance would never be a bridge
How a heart can reach pain
how a heart can be lit without fire
A sun that never shines
a soul left to repent
Dear God, why is this so
why are you the one who withholds all truth
Why Lord, why Christ I adore
would it ever be true, that love would be known
and known all because of you
“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers:
for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
Hebrews 13: 2 KJV

Happy Birthday
May Thirteen
Happy heaven

Her light - her lamp

This lady of delight

Beauty in her heart
sure to be every thing of that

More Than a Friend
11 February 2006
She was beauty
she was all
She was every way
she was more than friend
For who was she
this mother and child
A “Lindsay” -a poet
U-S-A– born
Her heart the travels
her soul the amber light
Her “Center of Attention”
the side of a highway to play
Cat and kitten - born to live
She was beauty - her heart to give
There was no question to who she was
She was every way - she was more than a friend
America's foremost rhymer/designer, also known as the “Prairie Troubadour.” Nicholas Vachel
Lindsay was born in Springfield, Illinois, 10 November 1879 and died in the home of his birth
on 05 December 1931. During the 1920’s he was one of America’s most popular poets.
He was especially known for his beautiful art work that accompanied many of his poems and
for his unique way of performing his poetry instead of just reading it. People also admired
the “tramps” or walking tours he took throughout America, exchanging poetry for room and
board. Young people today, were said to, seem to appreciate many of Lindsay's themes: his
love for individualism, nature, and simplicity; and his hatred for hypocrisy and pettiness.

| To Wife and Mother on Mother's day
Posted: 5/13/2006 7:22:28 AM | My darling mother I loved you so
Why, oh why did you have to go?
I'd lost the darling that I married
If only YOU had stayed and tarried.
But our dear God, he took you both
you who bore me ...and she, betrothed
My two beloved's who filled my heart
received his calling, to depart.
You both bore children...me to you
and darling Myrna gave me two.
Each mother's now within my heart
Where love doth progress from the start
Now that you are both in spirit,
I try so hard...Yes really will it
for you to come to me and say
I'm here dear love, won't go away
You were both mother's, that is proved
But know my loves' that I am moved
For now I know, maybe too late
the love you gave...CANT CALCULATE. | |
|
| Here's a weird one......lol!!!
Posted: 5/13/2006 5:55:32 PM | Ironic that I am postin' this poem on the same site in which it's original, intended recipient (Which apparently I cannot send it to....) is also on.........lol!!!
Ohh Well......
"If death is the only means
By which a secret to be revealed
Coveted mystery the sealed lips hold
In one just...sole pathway
For which its divulgence can be
Then deemed its worth be greater than gold
Do confide if 'tis your wish
Acceptance of this decision remains
No intrusion of force has an effect by any intent
But know truth in sought whole
As forthright...and always to be kept
My death for the knowledge....Fair trade for the content!"

Memories of Mother
02 March 2006
One day like no other
a day God in Him did decide
This March forth of time
so He took way a life in Mother
No regret to those days borne
her motherhood an honour to child
No promise to understand
death to day of time decided
Her soul blessed in passing
the summer cast to autumn in fall
Precious and loved in waves of birth
her beach sands of iron to silicon white
Memories never to char of smoulder
embers of ashes to burial unscathed
Her heart tempered in the cauldron of living
laundered in God’s calling her home
“Heather Lillian Herbert (nee MacKay)
20 May 1926 - 02 March 2006”
“There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without,
sent unto him, calling him. And the multitude sat about him, and they
said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for
thee. And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my
brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him,
and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do
the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.”

Posted: 5/14/2006 4:30:09 AM | 5399
Mother of Naomi
14 May 2006
She was Libra’s child
in all her beauty to name
A woman of hazel eyes
in wonder to proclaim
Her heart of kindness
her faith forth to endure
A mother in all
of caption so pure
Mother of Naomi
her voice of Sierra
Sunshine in state
memories to share
Libra’s child, a sign of the scales
This woman of kindness
her heart across a globe to bare
Libra the seventh Sign of the Zodiac (The Scales - 24 September to 23 October) is
the only inanimate sign of the zodiac, all the others representing either humans or animals.
Libra (Latin for balance) is a constellation of the zodiac. The great strength of the
Libra-born is their quest for fairness, peace and harmony.
The girl's name Naomi is pronounced ‘nay-OH-mee’. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning
is “pleasant.” Biblical: an ancestress of Jesus and mother-in-law to Ruth, who after her sons
died, said, “. . ., Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly
with me.”, (Ruth 1:20 KJV) Mara is a name given to Naomi by herself, which means ‘bitter’,
or ‘very sad.’ The name came into English-speaking use in the 18th century.
Noémi (no-AY-mee) is the Spanish form.
The girl's name Sierra is pronounced ‘see-ERR-ah’. It is of Spanish origin, and a sierra is a
word from the Spanish language meaning a mountain range. The word literally means “saw”.
It is used for various mountain ranges in Spanish-speaking or formerly Spanish-speaking
countries. The Sierra Nevada is a mountain range in the eastern portion of the U.S.A state
of California. The range is also known as The Sierra or The Sierras.
