Happy Birthday our sweet angel in heaven

January 13th was the 25th Birthday of our first born, whom we will never forget, our Matthew, our sweet angel in heaven. Here are a few verses I wrote to celebrate his life with his Creator, I know we will be reunited one day, until then dear son we know you look down on us and smile.




You're an angel in heaven
It seems you've always been:
Your life on earth ended
Quite before it did begin.

We have never stopped loving you
And think of you each day
How proud we would have been of you
Of what you'd have become today?

A teacher, a doctor,
a painter, who knows?
We sometimes wonder what it is
That you would have chose.

For three weeks we had you,
Three weeks we cherished you,
Held you, loved you
and prayed you'd make it through...

But God had other plans
Ones we knew nought about,
Your name was in His Book of Life,
Of that we had no doubt.

And now sweet child we think of you
As twenty-five years have passed awhile
As we send you Birthday Hugs in heaven
You look down on us and smile.

The Tree of Kindness



Be
gentle
Speak kindly
Think positively
Encourage others
Be there for them
React with understanding
Act with love and patience
Be in harmony with the universe
And at peace with the whole world.

Remembering Our Veterans


This is a poem I wrote recently for an online friend who wanted to use the poem on bookmarks to give out as tokens at their Veterans Day Luncheon at their church.
I thought it would be appropriate to post it here today as we take a moment to remember the fine men and women who have given their time and sometimes their life to safeguard our peace and freedom.
Whether we call it Remembrance Day, Veterans Day or Poppy Day, this is a time to remember and honour Veterans and their families. May we never take our freedom or their service for granted.

Let us take a moment to remember
And salute your unselfish way
God bless you dear Veterans
Today and every day!
We thank you for our freedom ~
For our safety you secured
We thank you for your time away ~
Our liberty you bought.
In remembering all the men who died,
The battles fought, the tears we cried,
We honor and respect you,
And remember you with pride.
Saluting you as our heroes,
We feel so very blessed
And we really do admire you...
You're our nation's very best!

And as I walked on, the trees greeted me...

Trees: Quotes, Poems, Proverbs, Maxims, Links Part I

God is the experience of looking at a tree and saying, "Ah!"

~Joseph Campbell~





There is always Music amongst the trees in the Garden,
but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it.
~Minnie Aumonier
~



As the trees look up to the heavens,
And nod with the morning dew,

Quietly they awaken
As they look down at me and you.

Let us lift our eyes with wonder,
Let us look up and see
The beauty of God's creation
With each and every tree.

Dream~Create~Believe

I found this saying on a site shared by my friend Bev ...
I was inspired by these three beautiful words that have so much energy


Dream a little dream
Dream on...
Your dream can become a reality.

Create, for you are an artist:
We all have hidden talents
If only we dream and believe...

Believe, yes believe...
listen to your inner voice,
Believe...
for all things are possible when you believe.
~Doreen Scerri~

These words have also reminded me of the lovely words by St.Francis...
"Start by doing what's necessary;
then do what's possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible"
St.Francis of Assisi
