Thanks Jules,

Ya’ll are the greatest!!!! I cherish all your words and prayers!!!



Swollen eyes
Hyper breathing
I can’t stop
My guilt from weaving

Yesterday
I’m on top of the world
Now today
A twister swirled

In the mid of winter
And the crispest air
The blackest vortex
Began to dare

Where is the answer
To the question why
What is the fairness
Within the darkest sky…….

Morning all,

Because we all have coughs
We can’t hug my sister close
So we all made posters
And gave her our family love dose

We stood in her driveway
And held each poster high
And we spray painted her snow
As she watched we saw her cry

She took pictures
Of each sign we held
“we love you”, “ we miss you”
And too, our eyes weld

But she knew each one
Was a hug from us to her
And as we waved goodbye
We prayed for her cure…..

Sam,

Yesterday was the Ephiphany...
I prayed for Terry
though He is always busy
I know He heard my plea

God bless

Dog, Longte, Pickles, and All,

Bless your souls!!!!!! Hugs Forever!!!!!!!!


A single eagle flew overhead
Parting the clouds as it sailed
Faith was free from anxiety
In its shadow, the sun prevailed

A light within hope and time
Some warmth to ease the sting
Lying back in the snow bank
I could almost hear the angels sing

Strength comes in many forms
Friends & Family are my support
Like a ship lost at sea
You are the radiance highlighting my port

I hope to someday repay
All the kindness you send
Because there is nothing more loving
Than the compassion of a friend………….

Love
Sam

Morning Pickles,

Yes I have, What an awesome movie!!! One of the best I've ever seen!!
You are a sweetie. Don't know what I'd do without ya'll!!!!


Think I'm going shopping
Some time to free my mind
Just some odds and ends
And whatever else I find

Maybe I'll take a seat
At an old cozy coffee shop
And sit next to the fireplace
Awe yes, I think I'll stop

Might just have to bring a book
And put my feet up for a bit
Escaping into the story
This could become a habbit...........

Morning all,

Thanks Rugged!!!



Light snow cascades
Kissing the earth
A fresh morning
A spiritual rebirth

An unmarked swathe
Covers the ground
Belief in possibilities
And prayers surround

Blessed, is the time
Given already
Dreams persist
Of time remaining steady….

The Secret Clear as Snow

Life, so complicated, yet so simple,
Why do you hide your secrets?
Why do I hide mine?

Tell me yours, and I will tell you mine,
Are you scared? I am.
These two truths be told, we all have secrets. . .

But before the Angel of Death comes from ye yonder,
I must yield to the world, and open I will open the contents of my soul,
My secret will be no more, for it be known like the rising sun. . .

Her eyes when they meet mine are hypnotizing,
Her touch is gentle, loving and yet erotically pleasing,
To hold her in my arms, to place her hand on my heart this I wish. . .

She needs to know how my soul feels,
The clarity of the essence of my heart's intent is clear,
For it is as pure as snow and water, do you see now my secret?

Lo, and behold, this is my secret,
This is my pain, for how long? I do not know
But know this, I am in love. . .

Fear not the Angel of Death, nor fear Hades,
What is in your heart Hades can never house or hold,
For what is in your soul, the Angel of Death can never take. . .

Tell me, tell me now, what is your secret?

Afternoon all,

Cold snap coming again
An old owl watches from afar
Waiting patiently and still
For the thawing of the sandbar

For now the mice
Will have to do
The rabbits and squirrels
Make good meals too

But the craving for fish
Grows stronger each day
And so quietly he sits
Above the bay……

As I look across the river
On this cold winters night
I see fog freezing in the trees
Like small crystals of light

The air is heavy with
Winters cold chill
The wind makes it stronger
As it blows down the hill

The moon is dancing on
The water so cold.
I wish I was as strong
And could be oh so bold.

The sights I am seeing
Are something quite magic
The thought that it will pass
Just seems so tragic.

I know where I am
Is where I am supposed to be.
The feeling of contentment
Makes me feel so free.

I take in a deep breath
As I turn out the light.
Knowing I am safe
In the silence of the night.

Hiya all,

Awesome write there Justin!!!!!
Felt like I was right there!!!


Frigid cold outside
Wind so chilling it burns
The sunshine so deceiving
Kids hoping the warmth returns

Cooped up inside
They want to play it rough
I've said, settle down, a thousand times
I think I've had enough

We'll make homemade suckers
With chocolate in molds
Seems to be a much nicer switch
Them seeing them all with colds

Keep warm all you Northeners
Keep close to the fire's light
Crank up that heater fast
Before you get frostbite.....

it's not just the northerners..we made chocolate chip cookies
and you'd just laugh..'cause cold is different to you and me
I think it might have gotten down to forty
your underwear I was sporting
furnace set on seventy
everyone still shivering
while playing "sorry"
goddam what a boring game..yanno?
I prefer the challenges of candyland, somehow
everyone pretty much prefers that I'm out in the kitchen not talking at all
they mentioned putting a stool out there for me to sit on
think the whispers and giggles were about donning me with a pointed hat?
forty degree cabin fever conspiracy theory while the girls get fat
and four dogs and a fvcking cat line up and sit
when I make bacon..no shyt
and sometimes I fry up one slice for the one named paris hilton
the cat even licks her
they sleep together
I knew I could turn this into a ramble..
this is a lil fufu curly haired seven pound cute as a button nosed moviestar
she has the look of that red nosed clown on big comfy couch cept with bacon radar
and she's so pregnant that when she sits, one leg has to stick out the side
more dogs.....sigh

That was so funny, I can just see ya with the pointed hat on the stool!!!!

Funny how the house can change
From the same old routine
To the wonder of what happened
And the sound of pristine

In one day
All chaos breaks out
From silence to chatter
It's good for you, no doubt

Good to know
The long undies still work
Sometimes having friends in the tundra
Is a wonderful perk......

Hugs Dog

It's so cold here
My car wont start
No turning over
Not even a fart

Windchills are -30
I'm ready for spring
I need flowers and leaves
Not temps that sting...........

Morning all,

Well she is through her radiation
And taken her last chemo pill
Now we wait for results
So we’ve passed another hill

12 tumors in her brain
And still more cancer in her breast
Seems like this has become
Our new family crest

We won’t know for some time
What these rounds have done
But she is strong and full of love
Knowing there’s more treatment rounds to come

Still needs her double mastectomy
And 30 more radiation doses
I keep waking up praying
For a misdiagnoses……….

Sam, am sending hugs and many blessings for you and your family!
This one is for all of you, a poem I have read many times.

Strength



We don't always have to be strong to be strong.
Sometimes our strength is expressed
in being vulnerable. Sometimes we need to
fall apart to regroup and stay on track.

We all have days when we cannot push any harder,
cannot hold back self-doubt, cannot stop
focusing on our fears, cannot be strong.

There are days when we cannot focus
on being responsible.
Occasionally, we don't want to get out of our beds.
Sometimes we cry in front of people.
We expose our tiredness, irritability, or anger.
Those days are okay. They are just okay.

Part of taking care of ourselves
means we give ourselves permission to
"fall apart" when we need to.
We do not need to be perpetual towers of strength.
We ARE strong.
We have proven that.

Our strength will continue
if we allow ourselves the courage
to feel scared, weak, and vulnerable when we need
to experience those feelings.

Today LORD, help me to know that is it okay to allow myself
to be human. Help me not to feel guilty or punish
myself when I need to "fall apart."
I will remember:
You O LORD are my Strength,
I will trust in You.


You are King Jesus (Yeshua), you reign in my weakness,
You lift me up when I fall apart.
It is You who lets me experience my feelings,
so I might call on You, "the lifted of my head."
Self-doubt, cannot stop me,
fear cannot be strong in Your presence.


Great are You O LORD my Strength!

Good Morning all,

Loved the poem Cel, Thanks for that, I needed it. She goes in today to talk to her doc. And see what comes next week.


Shimmers on the snow top
Fading as the clouds float in
Feather-like flakes descending
Melting upon my skin………..

Morning all,

A New Day

So far, so good
Her spirits are high
Doctors told her to Florida
She can fly

It made my day
To hear the joy in her voice
So today is a new day
I begin with new choice

Did my hair
Fixed my face
Picked out a dress
I’m back in my place

Going out tonight
For a friends birthday
It’s about time for me
To again play……..

Good Morning all,


The freak was out
The game was on
What began at nightfall
Ended at dawn

Animal instincts
Transpired without delay
It was an all-nighter
What can I say…….

Morning all,
Oh I'll get more, lol

So dog, A boat
In which to troll
You now my passion
And my soul

I got the itch
For the water’s to thaw
Cause when I’m fishing
I’m in awe

Back to nature
In warmer heat
Enough of this cold crap
I want a spring, meet & greet…..

Sam
