Inspired of the ways you

Reach self-development

From the alphabet A-Z

Feel God’s Love

  

God’s love is like the

Ocean; vast and deep.

You can’t ever see it,

But you can feel it.

Carol Kappes  2013

Inspired of  the depth

Of God’s love He gives.

Love is not seen, but felt.

I Took the Time to…

Say a prayer

Help someone

Feed the hungry

Give to charity

Say hello

Visit the sick

Give a gift

Donate blood

Visit the elderly

Forgive someone

Tutor the child

Say thanks

Care for someone

Reflect on life

Watch the sun rise

Smell the roses

See the beauty

Gather the bounty

Watch the rain

Hear the thunder

Witness the rainbow

Enjoy nature

Watch the sun set

Gaze at the stars

See the moon

Give a smile

Honor our soldiers

Love one another

Enjoy the sun

Clothe the naked

Listen to sounds

Read the scriptures

Volunteer

Enjoy life

Know thyself

Know others

For Iran

Like in a divorce, the many

Hurts can be swept away.

What was in the past,

Is no longer in the present.

Like a woman on her own,

She carries stamina each day.

What was in the mind,

Is no longer in her heart.

Like a burden that it was

The load seems lighter today.

What was in the past,

Is no longer in the present.

Inspired of the telephone conversation of

USA Pres. Obama and Iran Pres. Rouhani

(The needs of today; is different from the past.)

A Mind Break

I want to have a mind break;

Something I just need to take.

It works too hard and I need

The rest…something I deserve!

Love and hate; what a spell-

In this world that God create.

Because of human emotions;

We all are at the fault of it.

A Writer’s Touch

“I must confess that I have

Missed you so much and

Can’t stop thinking about

All the wonderful times

We shared together.

I have been reading your blog;

And I must commend you for all

Of  what you are doing there.”

Dedicated to SB

Inspired by people whom I cross and

Feedback to my written work

Syria

Syria in a long, enduring conflict;

This does not make  any sense.

How can a “leader” be so cruel

And watch thousands killed to death?

You have no shame or guilt?  Or is

This the way you view human life?

Put yourself in harm’s way and

Get the “feel” of torment and evil.

Put an end to this atrocity now-

Shelter the rest from this storm.

Work compassion into your soul

So that others can live in dignity.

Carol Kappes   2013

Inspired of Syria civil war

A Toxic Home

Way too many fumes in the air

Family members are dysfunctional

Living without reason or understanding

Having a negative atmosphere

Creating a massive dust bowl

Can’t quite whether the storm

Damage will only get worse

Causing physical and mental pain

Anguish appears in order to cope

Only hope is to get out in safety

Carol Kappes  2013

Inspired of the breakdown

Of family structure

You See the Child’s Pain?

You can see it in their eyes

You can hear it in their cries

You can see it in their hunger

You can find it in their face

You can see it in their clothes

You can see it in their feelings

You can see it in their tears

You can find it in their temper

You can see it in their discomfort

You can find it in their thoughts

You can find it in their actions

You can see it in their injury

You can hear it in their language

You can find it in their attitude

You can see it in their sorrows
