Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change.
The courage to change the things I can change.
And the wisdom to know the difference. Amen

God Grant You
May God grant you always;
A sunbeam to warm you.
A moonbeam to charm you.
A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.
Laughter to cheer you.
Faithful friends near you.
And when you pray, God to hear you !

For wisdom is better than rubies, and all things that may be desired are not to be compared with it. Proverbs 8:11 *

To everythingthere is a season. A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill, And a time to heal;
A time to break down, And a time to build up;
A time to weep, And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, And a time to lose;
A time to tear, And a time to sew;
A time to love,

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Happiness does not consist in pastimes and amu ts but in virtuous activities.
Happiness resides not in posessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.

The Power of God protects us.
The Presence of God watches over us.
Where we are God is, and all is well ! *

Happiness keeps you sweet.
Trials keeps you strong.
Sorrow keeps you human.
Failure keeps you humble.
Success keeps you glowing.
But, only God Keeps you Going!
God Bless You All. *

The Clothesline
A clothesline was a news forecast
To neighbors passing by.
There were no secrets you could keep
When clothes were hung to dry.
It also was a friendly link
For neighbors always knew
If company had stopped on by
To spend a night or two.
For then you'd see the fancy sheets
and towels on the line;
You'd see the comp'ny tableclothes
With intricate design.
The line announced a baby's birth
To folks who lived inside
As brand new infant clothes were hung
So carefully with pride.
The ages of the children could
So readily be known
By watching how the sizes changed
You'd know how much they'd grown.
It also told when illness struck,
As extra sheets were hung;
Then nightclothes, and a bathrobe, too,
Haphazardly were strung.
It said, Gone on vacation now
When lines hung limp and bare.
It told, We're back! when full lines sagged
With not an inch to spare.
New folks in town were scorned upon
If wash was dingy gray,
As neighbors raised their brows, and looked
Disgustedly away.
But clotheslines now are of the past
For dryeres make work less.
Now what goes on inside a home
Is anybody's guess
I really miss that way of life.
It was a friendly sign
When neighbors knew each other best
By what hung on the line!

Grandma's Afghan
Clickety, clack go my knitting needles
As I count the stitches one by one
Can that be some that I have dropped
Or some that I have gained.
Drat it, some one knocking on my door
The dog barks, the cat meows,
The parrot is squawking aloud,
My knitting dangles on the floor.
'Tis only Mrs. Kelly to borrow a few sticks
As she uses up my time, with some of her tricks
A cup of tea will hit the spot,
As her gaze wanders to the old teapot.
Now Mrs Kelly is a dear old friend
Who loves to visit, but talk's no end
Time passes swiftly, with no work done
Still my knitting dangle, as stitches drop one by one.
Too many stitches, must have gone wrong
Knit two together, 'tis bound to come right
Thinking once more of the time I have spent
With a sigh of relief, I have knitted a tent.

(Sonnet That Runs Out) For Coffee
My grandmother kept her loose change on the
armoire in ornate dishes, in those a
cat would prefer for her fancier feasts
or a king his savory sauces, bowls
that held change like a young seed contains old
hay, her coin vessels would never change when
change would come our way for candy cigar-
ettes from the neighborhood store, or other
choice delights as rich as the presidents
on her generous currencies. Though now
she's passed, her bowls have been sent to me for
keeping, treasuring, remembering her--
good gifts that say the end is not the end.
There's always more for bowls filled with mints. And
(Grandma, I love them. So does my son, so does my wife.)

Each Life Converges to some Centre--
Expressed--or still--
Exists in every Human Nature
A Goal--
Embodied scarcely to itself--it may be--
Too fair
For Credibility's presumption
To mar---
Adored with caution--as a Brittle Heaven--
To reach
Were hopeless, as the Rainbow's Raiment--
To touch--
Yet persevered toward--sure--for the Distance--
How high--
Unto the Saints' slow diligence--
The Sky--
Ungained--it may be--by a Life's low Venture--
But then--
Eternity enable the endeavoring
Again..

A Vision
Standing in the light
my Jesus, my Lord
He came into dark
Of night
beckoning me
Come!
He set a table
plain of wood
before me
my Jesus, my Lord.
And said to me
Dine with Me
My child.
That is my Jesus
that is my Lord. *

True Friend
If a kiss was a raindrop, i'd send you showers.
If a hug was a minute I'd send you hours.
If a smile was water, I'd send you a sea.
If you need a friend, I'd send you me!
