Live for God

Each day you need to live for God

For He makes all things happen.

When you do this, He anoints you

In the direction you need to follow.

Inspired to follow

In God’s direction

Think of Me

A simple walk

Inside the park,

A beach stroll

To slow the role.

Some quiet time

To ease the mind;

Tis more precious

Than gold.

A silent talk

Within the heart

Says the soul

Has full control,

Of yours and mine

By natural design;

Life’s more precious

Than gold.

Think of me

In the sun you see-

Think of me

In the air you breathe-

Think of me

In the morning dew-

Think of me

As I think of you!

Vacation Time

Summer soon to be here-

It’s already half of the year.

Let me now, have a break;

It’s vacation time I need to take.

Water Is Luxury

Did you ever notice?

After an exhausting day

And you drink some water

That the water is…

Pure

Cold

Refreshing

Vitalizing

And when you take a bath it’s

Warm

Bubbly

Scented

Flowing

Cleansing

Soothing

Relaxing

Moisturizing

Exhilarating

Invigorating

And when you clean dishes/laundry it

Suds

Soaks

Washes

I see this as luxury!

I'm a Little Upset

Dear Readers:

I was suppose to place a verse titled "Water is Luxury" and the file was not  found.  So I lost it! As an inspired writer that I am; my mind will never get it back.  And it was such a good one.

The flow of my words come quickly when I have these thoughts to write.

I'm a little bit upset, because water is important for us to live.

{PS I just found it located in a file after doing a search of my PC. It was written in a different year, two years ago. I'll post it soon.}

You know in life, it's a process of learning new things all the time...and when I need to act on something...like finding this file...I have to learn to troubleshoot/problem solve or it eventually comes to my mind what I need to do next.

Spring’s Design

Splish-splash was the

Sound of my walk,

As the pouring rain

Was coming down.

Spring, that time of year

Cleans up the ground,

Making it fresh for the

Season’s planting again.

Here comes the shining

Sun and blowing winds,

Creating warmth and also

Drying the fertile soil.

New growth begins again

From the farmers’ labor,

And the seeds will sprout

Fruit and vegetable crops.

Publisher in quotes     Carol Kappes unquote

“Carol…If you could please send your “about the book blurb” for the back of the book. It can be a poem or you can tell about your book in 3 to 5 sentences. The blurb is what will go on Amazon and the back of your book indicating to the reader what your book is about.”

“Have a great day and thank you.”

Hi; Yes, I found this to be a tough one of all parts of the book. Please let me know if it sounds OK?

(I had written 2 samples for my publisher)

You know books a lot better than I do…I am just learning the ropes of it all.

“Love this one…but it is up to you”

(And my publisher copied the one sample for me to read)

Thanks; I am glad that I made 2 ideas; and you may have read many of my verse. You are more into the book business side…I trust your judgement towards a best seller…because we want people living better lives. Yes, after rereading them this morning…and hearing your call…go ahead and use this one. It does sound better…as the reason of the book…and why it was written.

(Keep in mind that I did not see the book cover design yet; until the “book blurb” had been written by me and printed on the back cover…after it was all completed by the publisher.)

“Carol…Here is your final cover in its template with your back cover blurb and retail price. Let me know if you approve.”

(After seeing this book cover design….)

Wow!  This is really eye catching…that people would want to pick this up and read it.

What do you think? Its very richness in the way you designed this…like no other book…which tells me the uniqueness of this piece of work. Looks enriching.

I can see why you liked my 2^nd blurb version…to the design of this book cover. It really seemed outstanding…it’s so fitting.

“It’s perfect!”

It was unbelievable. Thanks.

(It is only a matter of time; that you will be reading this book, published in 2016)

Inspired of the book process

And the teamwork involved.

Ecuador Earthquake

This is devastation at its worse;

With buildings collapsed, many have

Been injured and still not found.

So sorry for the loss of loved ones,

Buried within the rubbish of what

Was once so strong and built of steel.

It gets too close to home… suddenly

Without much notice, and wrecks pain

And misery to those who are victims.

We just never know what will happen

In our daily life, always live each day with

Peace and love to those around us.

Inspired of actual event

And around the world, too

Smile

It makes you approachable

It creates enjoyment

It has an effect on others

It indicates happiness

It often shows friendliness

It is a universal language

It satisfies your mood

It enhances your voice

It produces less stress

It can empower you

It lessens frown lines

It shows a caring attitude

It tells of a character trait

It helps to pass it on

Behind Moments

I just love it when you’re

Standing behind me.

It sends emotional thrills 

Up and down my spine.

When you press your lips

To the side of my neck…

The exhilarating feelings of

Sensation are overwhelming.

Your hands caress my hips

In gentleness and love.

Your touch is so inviting;

I feel your desire is strong.

This relaxing moment is ours,

You and me in an embrace.
