Nature

Today I journeyed out beyond
To capture scenes that I'm so fond.
The melting snow causing water trickles
And added rain that just drizzles.

With help from the bright, warming sun
The days quickly go on, one by one.
Soon there'll be new growth all around
As nature begins without a sound!


Carol Kappes--1986

What is Pain?

Is a natural event when birth arrives

When you touch something hot

Is the dysfunction of a family

Is experienced when love has ended

Is acted upon by natural disasters

Any unrest, wrong-doing, injustice

It happens when hunger strikes

It occurs due to mental anguish

Is caused by careless decisions

When feelings/emotions are shattered

The loss of one’s employment

When the human spirit is lost

It occurs against someone’s will

Any betrayal, false claims, terrorists

Happens in illness, disease, and accidents

Anything caused by fire or explosions

Taking away a person or thing

Is a profound grief when someone dies

We Have to Endure It-

Valentine's Greeting

Thoughts of love and happy smiles
From all of us across the miles.

We may be far apart in distance
But our hearts, in an instant-

Flutter you a Valentine's day greeting
Of memories that are worth keeping!

With love,

Your Love

Oh Honey, You are so sweet to me,
It's just the way
        I want it to be!

Your happy face and loving touch,
Makes me want you
         so very much.

Continue this always year after year,
And you'll see that
         I'll always be near!
