Christmas Wish

Me without you during  the holidays

Is like Santa without his rein deer

And Rudolph and the rein deer sleigh

Without beautiful toys for all of us .

 

Me without you during the holidays

Is like having missal - toe out in the snow !

Me without you during the holidays

Is like a fire place all decked out

With bright ornaments to honor

The Christ child and the warmth

Of the fire in the fire place is out .

 

Me without you during the holidays

Is like going to mass At 12 AM

Alone with old people

And no young people do I see  in the chapel

I only have memories of the past this holy morning

In this quiet chapel ,

The lights  never seem to shine bright ,

So that Rudolph may miss my house this  Christmas morning,

But will you be with me during the holidays

So we will have a silent night

Together where Christ love will be shares ?

You Have Value

Whatever you do don't quit ,

Because it could become a habit .

They that sow in tears

Shall reap in joy .

Remember the love we share in our name .

Your life is a life time .

Seize the moment and give all you have .

When you get old things go by much faster .

Do what you can when you can .

Speak your mind .

You may lift someone's eyes above the arisen .

No matter your age ,

You will always have value

To yourself , to your loved ones , To your friends ,

To those you help along the way .

Everyone has value

No matter what some people say .

I Pray

I pray each day

For a day in heaven

Here on earth .

Each day we have on earth

Is a day in which God offers us

The opportunity to know his life

For us and to share it .

Each day is a golden opportunity  .

I pray not to waste one day .

I  do what I can each day ,

But its more important to help  someone

New than what I do each day .

Turkey Dumping Memories

Do you remember your Turkey dumping memories  ?

College kids bring their laundry

Home to mom to be cleaned during Thanksgiving .

College kids bring home to mom and dad

Their new friend and they know he /she is the one.

Everyone goes to grandma's house

For true turkey dumpings .

We all sit down to eat .

All the kids from 5 to 60 are dumped to eat turkey

At the kids table so they can watch parades and football games

On TV  even me .

Grandma , may dump his face in the plate .

All the kids will laugh .

Grandpa will then get up and get into his special chair

and rock and rock and the chair will squeak and squeak

And grandpa will go to sleep .

There is always someone who snores and is on the couch all along .

All the mothers are dumped with all the dirty dishes .

They get everything cleaned up

And then we all get up to go home until next year .

Except grandpa .

Do you remember your turkey dumping memories ?

Take Time

Take time to be quiet

This holiday season

Or any time you can .

Get up early any morning

And go outside and look around

And be thankful for what you

Have in your life  that  morning .

Take time to be quiet

And step outside any night

And feel the air

Look around and look up

And look what  you have for free .

Be thankful that it was quiet

These few times .

You have to thank God

For these quiet times

And what he has given you

And how special it is to take time

To find  any quiet time .

When ever you find quiet time ,

You must thank God .

Your Child

Talk to your child until you are hoarse .

Never keep score with your child .

You will never get sick of your child

Wanting hopes and dreams .

Not everything can be solved in a day

Or over night .

Make sure you lessen to them .

There is no price on love .

Remember , to the world you may be

Just one person ,

But to your child you might just be the world .

Always find time for them

And be there always for them

Even if you don't understand

At the beginning

Remember  a child is a beginning to an end .

Mom And Grandma

    

Their smiles always happened in a flash

Their memories last a life time .

Mom and grandma would hold my hands

For a while , but my heart forever .

Their quiet silence is in tonight's sky .

Their real secret was sacrificing

Their needs to save others .

My memories of them will always

Be in my heart forever more ,

Because of them  there is something

Inside me that makes me

Strong , when I have to be ,

Even If I feel weak ,

For I know they still believe in me

Even today ,

Because of them there is more to me]

And their memories .

Grandma's house

I would go to grandma's house

To get out of the cold.

I would get more than 1 of grandma's cookies.

I would not have to ask for a hug or a kiss ,

Because grandma knew me  .

Grandma had all the answers

To all of my unknowns .

She would end about every talk

With me  with take one day at a time .

She always said she was good for the shape she was in .

She always told me

To count my blessings .

She would say say the Lord's prayer

And she would always be with me  .

Just Ride

Me and my horse

The best of inside me

Is being outside with my horse .

Peace is steered on a horse .

I can always talk to my horse ,

Because she always hears well

With those big ears , 

And my horse talks a course .

On a horse you can not shut down .

With my horse anything can heal .

My horse bonds with me for she trust me

And I trust her .

So we will just ride on together .

Help Me

It helps me to be free ,

When I sit outside in the morning

In my back yard all alone ,

With my old man vision .

I can see the yellow birds not far from me

And the big morning doves ,

As they fly   quietly away with  the morning wind .

 

When I sit out side in the dark of night

It is not truly dark ,

Because the sky is bright  with the beautiful

Stars light up above .

At night I can lay back and relax

And the day's wind has gone down

I can count the stars

Until I go to sleep under the stars

Or until I get under the clean white sheets

Inside the house ,

 

Being outside in the early morning

Or late at night  it  always helps me to relax

When I am all alone out back

During  those short beautiful moments  I am free .

I can think of the past

And  also my tomorrow 's dreams .

Someday

Someday I would like to speak my mind .

Someday I will just howl .

I will be enlighten .

I'm going to the confessional .

I wish , I could put my mouth in my pocket

So that I could just sit on it  .

Someday I will have more than tenacity

Soberness and no more of these fits

Because then nobody wins  !!

Wishes Come True

May all your hopes turn to  wishes

May all your wishes come true  .

May each day bring you love and hugs .

Nothing shall be impossible for you .

I hope you always have sunshine

Freedom and little flowers in your hands .

I will always watch and pray for you .
