Christ's Birth

I know what it was like... just

Hearing about the Christ child.

Hearing the Nativity story

Hearing the songs written and sung

Hearing the Scriptures in the Bible

Hearing the people talk about Him

But once He has come to you; you

Will fully understand and have the

Wisdom of His peace and love.

It is eternal and stays with you in

Your heart, mind, soul and strength.

Christ shall reign forevermore. Amen

Who was William?

Was he a prophet?

Or, maybe a King?

A priest instructed

Through vision, or

Inspiration, to lead,

Or redeem, Israel?

Who is the mother?

The father, relatives

Of this Shakespeare,

This man so versed?

Quotes I have heard

From a child till now,

Most of which apply

In life somehow.

In schools there are

Plays depicting his

Works. Not just then,

Or when I was young.

I hear his words when

I least imagine them,

From people I thought

Didn’t know of him.

Who is William, this

Shakespearean?

Is he the son of Jesse,

The brother of David,

Coming from the line

Of Judah? Another

Psalmist, philosopher,

A man with great

Insights. Or a poet, a

Playwright, with just

A simple message?

Words have a way of

Changing many things

In each one of us live.

Just like a Star, we also

Leave our prints with

Every word we use.

You can call me William

(with a smile).

My parents call me Charles,

With all of their heart.

Remember that you Shine!

Pretty Things

I always had an eye for pretty things

So abundant of comfort and style.

I always had ways to seek pleasure

In the simplest forms all around me.

I always had seen the world in beauty

So abundant of talents and structure.

I always had riches felt in the heart

In the blessings and wisdom given.

I always had love for what matters

So abundant of joy and grace.

Why Honor your Parents/Guardians?

They love you

They know you

They guide you

They shape you

They direct you

They teach you

They inform you

They encourage you

They command you

They socialize you

They improve you

They skill you

They care for you

They standup for you

They sacrificed for you

When you rebel, you don’t learn!

Simply Alone

A beautiful woman

Sat at a table for two.

Dressed very pretty;

No ring on her finger.

What’s a woman like you

Sitting there all alone?

She placed an order for a

Delicious meal and drinks.

Her attire was striking

On her lovely tan body.

Why isn’t a man with her

To give love, honor, and care?

Music was playing and it

Was the most perfect evening.

The atmosphere of ambience

Was simply surrounding her.

To enjoy music and dance.

I Glow When I Am Happy

Sometimes work gets a little overwhelming.

When personal things get caught in the midst

            Of aligned strings.

Or in the commitment to community links.

When quality family time begins to sink.

           

When the brain is weary to think,

Of how to keep the body in sync.

In a space where only rest can relieve me

From stress, though I feel I am doing my best,

There is a bigger mess.

Still I keep going, moving on impulse, gasping

            For air.

As my heart beats rapidly I know, I know that

I’m low. Perhaps even lower than it shows, below

The essential blood flow.

Some things I must let go, as sure as the wind

Blows. There I recall how Moses received a vow,

That stands even now.

My burden will never overflow. Give thanks

That is so. Even when I’m weary I know, one kind

Word makes me glow.

Taking Many Months Off

I presently will be taking many months off

For myself and not taking the time to write.

I need to reflect where I stand, what I need

To do, and what/why I must change differently.

I wish for all my readers; happiness, love,

Peace, good health, prosperity, and inner joy.

I have a curious, stimulating mind that wants

To go somewhere, even I can’t get there yet!

I want you to enjoy reading my first book, it

Was released in 2016; written just for you!

I enjoy being your author/writer and was happy

That you had been a factor of that beginning.

Admiring You

I could see your luscious

Lips hugging the glass

As you sipped the wine

Seductively from the glass…

Whilst you look into the

Eyes of your true love.

Advertisements Can Falsify

This connection and I were talking on so many subjects and this one happened to come in. We were talking about if one would become married again. I found it interesting and so true; we are bombarded by so many advertisements that strongly signifies something and to change our thinking habits.  Only half of them truly do what they are meant to do.  Remember, advertising sells items!

The Interview

“Hey, you know what else happen when you get married?  You got to get a stupid ring.  The Jews have made us believe the diamond was so great.”

I’m not asking for a diamond. I want a black pearl ring with tiny diamonds around it.  Diamonds are not a sign of lasting love.

“They make you believe you got to buy that stuff.”

I know…all advertisements do.

Conclusion

I did happen to receive a round diamond ring with the first engagement and marriage.  And in noticing the marriages of so many other couples today fall apart and divorce; I do not see that the diamond lasts forever. So, actually to me it is no longer symbolic to love and happiness; or to even seal the commitment/covenant when you are saying your marriage vows.

If I am given the opportunity for a 2^nd chance of life, for happiness to surround me with love, honor and respect…I don’t intend to have an all diamond ring…I will replace it for another type of gem, the pearl…that sparkles with tiny diamonds.

Memories Of My Daughter

Sentimental items I have kept:

The things you made in school

The plastic ring you once had

The charm bracelet you worn

The gummy bear chain necklace

The hat you wanted to rid of

The Hollister top you left

The senior portraits you had

The pictures taken with me

A mother’s love never ends.

Our life is an ever changing pattern

Of growth during our entire lifetime.

Many adventures, events, and festivities

Fulfill our burning desires within us.

Brightened beginnings to the endings are so

Magically displayed in artistic fashion.

Forever changing the picturesque scene

As we continue to turn our lives around.

Mud

You can get stuck in it

You can slip and slide

You can get your shoes filthy

You can track it in a building

You can see water standing

You can see it on a mud guard

You can see it after a rain storm

You can see it carried by the flood

You can witness it in a landslide

You can find it at the riverbank

You can play games or sports in it

Inspired of some events

In the spring weather.

It's Spring

Rain; soaking the frozen ground to thaw

Wind; slight breeze in the flowing air

Sunny; sunshine radiates a beam

Blue; skies are bright with clouds

Green; slender grass appearing fast

Warmth; sweet buds showing on the trees

Sounds; singing birds awaken the morning

Blossoms; soft colors brighten the landscape

Spring is around the corner

To Reel Him In

And reel him in-

That can’t get away.

Keep winding the cord

Till he’s near me-

And to call him mine!

Weighed Decision

President Donald Trump decisions as the

American president is/can be crucial

In certain times from:

Uncertainty

Unrest

Unbearable

Unlawful

Non-negotiable

Instability

Unrighteous

Unimaginable

Unthinkable

Unbelievable

    Acts!

All of these are weighed decisions to keep

United States of America citizens safe, keep

Them in protection, keep them strong, and to

Keep them in courage.

America’s National Anthem, The Star Spangled

Banner is one example, so listen to it carefully.

We are the people of the United States of America.

In God, we trust.

2017; the Seven Looks Like a Ladder

Look into the New Year brightly

Find all that it is worth.

Two thousand and seventeen

It rings with a pleasant bell.

Climb down the number one;

And then you will climb up.

Seeing the number seven near

You will walk it at an incline.

When you get to the bar at the top

Remain there; you reached the goal.
