A Gift More Precious

It is a rare treasure, 
A friend like you, 
A gift more precious, 
Than the finest jewel, 
A gift more precious, 
Cannot be found, 
Than the friend, the mentor, 
I found in you.

Writer Stalling

Don’t disturb me,

I’m working here,

Wait I need that sixth cup of juice,

And that Cupcake has my name written all over it,

There’s the bird,

He needs to be fed again,

Eventhough his dish is already full,

And the puppy needs attention,

And don’t forget,

That movie on T.V.

You know the one,

I’ve watched fifteen times before,

Ahh now I can work,

But that blank paper,

Keeps staring at me…

I have been a Dee Henderson fan for years and she has not dissapointed me in Taken.  So if you are a fan of Inspirational Fiction that has both Intrigue as well as Romance then you are in for a treat when you read taken.

Five out of five stars for a wonderful book.

Reach Out to Me

My friend, 

If ever the hour should be late, 

And you need to reach out, 

For that friend, 

Who will listen to you, 

When you are feeling, 

Depressed and blue, 

When you need someone, 

To pray for you, 

Because the words aren’t there, 

Or the pain is still to new, 

Call on me, 

I will listen as you talk, 

And pray for you. 

My friend, 

If you ever need, 

To reach out to me, 

Know that I am always, 

As near as your heart.

You’ve Got A Friend InMe

Sometimes the Lord blesses you with that friend you just feel was meant to be your Sister… This poem is writeen for and about the Sister of my heart… 

Miles may seperate us, 
States apart we may be, 
But this friendship, 
Was built on a foundation of our Faith, 
Christanity, 
And though this friendship, 
First was built, 
With the help of modern technology, 
Now through phone calls, 
Letters, Instant message conversations, 
And the visit I made last Summer, 
To go and see you, 
This friendship grows, 
And I want you to remember, 
That though miles may seperate us, 
You’ve got a friend in me.

With Childhood Innocence

We discovered the world, 
With muddy faces, 
And popsicle stained clothing. 

We believed in fairies, 
Santa Claus, 
And things unseen. 

We pretended that dolls, 
Were children, 
And Gi Joe’s, 
Great warriors, 
Defending evil. 

We knew that, 
God created all, 
And with childhood innocence, 
We didn’t understand, 
How anyone could not believe.

I Don’t Remember

I don’t remember, 
Exactly when I learned to say 
Goodbye, 
But I know I did. 
I don’t remember, 
The moment I learned to cry, 
But I know I did. 
I do remember lessons taught, 
Through friends and family, 
Learning compassion and care, 
For those we love, 
And trying to learn about, 
Compassion, 
Even towards those we don’t, 
Dislike. 
I don’t remember, 
when I first realized, 
Everything in life, 
Doesn’t always seem fiar, 
But I know I learned, 
But I also learned to care.
