Life's Golden Moments Live On!

Golden are the moments of life,

They encompass all who see.

The value hidden in friends and time,

memories only you can see.

Spoken of in days now golden,

to people who visit and sit.

Sharing life's golden moments,

will last through many years.

So gather round and listen,

When a loved one recounts their years.

For only in these memories

will they live later in your tears!

To look to the Light!

The Inner Light

Sometimes when darkness falls around us,

We need to look to that inner light,

That piece of life endowed by the creator.

That spark that came with earthly life.

Too often darkened by the world around us,

Unable to be seen because of daily chores,

But when darkness falls around us,

We should think as that child once more.

To have the eyes we had as children,

Seeing the world through wonder bright and new,

Looking forward to new tomorrows,

Enjoying life and love and youth.

To the inner light we must return,

Leaving earth and cares behind,

We must look for spark we had as children.

For that is what keeps our soul alive.

Snow Shadows...on a winters day!

Snow Shadows

The trees on the snow in white,

Cast their shadows late this night.

Long and grey with branches bent

Believing life will return again.

Spring is due in lives revolving time,

Followed by warmth and summertime;

Only to wait and watch in fall,

The color fade from branches tall.

Then the snow of winter... smiles,

As life dances beneath the moon,

When cold December shows its ways

And shadows fade by afternoon.

As we grow older....Missing

Picture taken at Oxbow Park

Missing

Missing from my pillow

In the deepest part of night,

Is the love and inspiration,

That takes my life to flight,

A simple joy and pleasure

A part of life not measured.

Like holding hands in evening

While the fire softly glows,

Little secret words spoken

Those only lovers know.

Time removed from our daily cares

A wistful note on life,

Where things are appreciated

As a relief from daily strife.

In youth we dreamt of the future,

All knowing, all positive of its outcome.

But in age much wiser now

So this simple truth we found…

Life does not go on forever

Though we strive to make it so,

So we must catch the ring of pleasure

Where ever it might go.

A Christmas Message

A Christmas Message

As ice clings to trees

We cling to our traditions.

Like sentinels marking time

Year to year our traditions hold.

Peace and love the season’s message

Seems so far from our ears today.

For in this world of words spread like fire

Sadness arrives the media way!

So turn your head away from terror

From hate, prejudice, ignorance and fear.

Turn instead to the quite message

Of Peace on Earth this 2015^th year.

Loves Return!

Loves Return

Can love break the chains,

The chains that bind you?

Taken from the soul of time,

Long asleep in bosom of the heart,

Torn from an all encompassing mind,

Lifted from the cares of life,

Seeking in the darkest recesses of inner being,

The all-important breath of life.

Yes love can set you free!

An old love returned to break the chains...

The Chains that bind you!
