Up and away
August can’t stay
Time for September
I hope you remember
For what’s ahead
Some cool weather relief
Pumpkin spice and all pumpkin nice
And ramping up my prayer
For all people, and everywhere.

please don’t fault me if i stutter, or don’t remember my lines,
i am at a time in life, when all is not so fine.
making fun of others does not cost a dime,
but it sets a trend for some humans to embrace,
to influence the minds of others,
instead, i ask for compassion and some grace.
so, if you will be patient and let God do his work,
and bid your time on earth, contributing thoughtful care,
as for me, i ask that you will say a simple prayer..

The above was written out of concern for the human race. We have lost sensitivity and lack of respect in so many ways. It should not matter that we don’t agree with others. It doesn’t mean we should name call or harm people. And my age is a contributing factor. I value life and think about how, our choices have consequences. Besides sowing kindness feels good.
Dear women and children of Ukraine, It’s important for me, to let you know, that I am thinking about you. I have shed tears for your situation and have at times felt helpless. As I have viewed the news, I secretly imagined myself being transported to help. I am a senior woman. I have thought that I could hold a hand, or comfort a baby or child. To hear about and read about your tenacity, is truly inspiring. I know that I could learn much from you, from your determination to follow through, with what is on your heart to do. As a bystander from the United States, I cheer you on. With prayer and love, may you be carried to safety. There is power in prayer and I will continue to pray. Thanking my Lord for all he is doing, and going to do. He knows you by name, sees your tears.. He is a God of love and compassion. Remember you are courageous and you are strong.. I close with, The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid.. Sincerely, In Him, Roberta

unforgiving
self-focused
even exposure
from the sun
cannot make a difference
but there is a Son that can.

i got a letter the other day
i didn’t read it until today
sometimes i have to be
at the right place in my mind
to receive the words from
my friend so kind..
this one did it for me today
her words of kindness
had much to say..
from one whom
has had a hard life
but you wouldn’t know..
it brought tears to my eyes
because it was heaven sent.
positivity from my friend so kind
when i know in fact her world is not..
much to be glum about
but she is not.
reminding me to love
and be thankful for those that do..
to look for the good and for animals too
that are in our care on planet earth..
so a reminder to me
to not murmur nor complain..
be a light in this world
that seems as though
it is losing it’s glimmer
thank you friend for coming along
and sending me a lovely letter..

I’m still in the race
but I am getting very behind
i’m missing some days and really
need to find them..
have you seen monday, tuesday and wednesday
and while you are at it, i need thursday too..
they seem to keep missing, as to disappear
outta the blue..
now I’m working on the pounds i gained, but it’s nothing new
i really do fear that they will want to stick around..
maybe i need to run faster and pick up my pace
and stop missing and losing
so i don’t get left behind standing on third base..
rg
standing on shaky ground
even though there are answers to be found
somewhere in the written word
like tasty morsels and divine treats
but to uncover them, is quite a feat
understanding is required
and at this time, i lack that skill
for i am weary of the struggle
maybe i do not have what it takes
for discouragement wants it’s way..

you make me stumble
you make me fall
i have finally realized
that i can’t eat you all..
i’m stopping what’s destructive
cause you give me no peace..
i’m loosening my grip
it’s time to release…
goodbye frito bandito

Return to Sender~
love bounces back
when it hits a wall
when not received
no not at all..
love has no barriers
but some hearts have walls
so love will bounce back
from the good intentions and all..

i see you
sitting alone
are you in sorrow?
i see you
sitting alone
this late afternoon hour
i wish i could convey
to you
that
i feel your pain
and
i feel your sorrow..
