Nature's Hand Walking towards a wishful dream, By your side a crooked stream, Above, the clouds are fluffy cream, No longer do you want to scream. The air, it smells so sweet. The birds go, twitter tweet. Soft grass to place your feet. You groove with nature's beat. Out here, there are no cars. Out here, there are no bars. Nighttime brings you Venus, Mars, Uncountable amounts of stars. Take it all in friendly stride, Don't ever feel you have to hide. This is where you reach inside, And spread your wings; feel them glide. Your life is yours, not theirs to take. Light a fire by the lake. Always love, with whom you wake, Never let your friendships break. Always live without regret. Don't give up, not now, not yet. Know the future isn't set. Appreciate what love you get. I know that nature's trees are tall, There's some you cannot climb at all- Full in Spring 'til Autumn's Fall, Covered in a winter shawl. And as the seasons come and go, You'll see the stream begin to grow. Filled by your whole life you know, Carried in the winds that blow. Listen to the song it sings- Love and peace is what it brings. Sharing all the little things, Smoothing over dents and dings. That what living's all about. Never fill it up with doubt. Look real close to find this out- Always seek the kinder route. And you will see, my oldest friend, This dreamy life, it has no end. There's always more beyond the bend, Nature's hand, a limb, to lend! [� Carol Lafreniere - February 2011] |

The Strongest Girl I Ever Knew [In Loving Memory of Kelly Doe] She never got to dance, Or go to her own Prom. She never got the chance, To forget where she came from. She never got to kiss, A man she idolized. She never felt love's bliss, 'Cause she was paralyzed. She never got to talk, About love with a smile. She never got to walk, Down a Church's Aisle. She never got to say, Those precious words "I Do". But she was far and away, The strongest girl I ever knew. She couldn't brush her hair, Or put make up on her face. She couldn't hold you dear, Or give you a warm embrace. She couldn't clasp her hands, As if in the form of prayer. She couldn't understand, Why she was in a wheelchair. She never showed her fears, Or let you hear her cries. She never showed the tears, That fell down from her eyes. She never looked for pity, Or sympathy from you. That's why she'll always be, The strongest girl I ever knew! PS: My sister Kelly was paralyzed when she was 16. For the next 25 years she was totally dependent on others. Even though she got dealt a bad hand, she remained strong and dignified throughout her life. That is why she'll always be "The Strongest Girl I Ever Knew". Kelly, I know you're dancing in Heaven...!

Keep Walking In The Light (Poem) It is by faith and not by sight That we keep walking in the Light. It is by faith and not by sight That we keep walking in the Light. To the Paradise of our Delight Dark forces draw themselves to fight, They strive to cause us doubt and fear And plunge us into deep despair. But Christ in us puts these to flight, As we keep walking in the Light. It is by faith and not by sight That we keep walking in the Light. It is by faith and not by sight That we keep walking in the Light Through troubled times and valleys dark Where sin surrounds so cold and stark, The world, the flesh, and the devil demand That we succumb to their command. But Christ in us puts these to flight, As we keep walking in the Light. It is by faith and not by sight That we keep walking in the Light. It is by faith and not by sight That we keep walking in the Light. Keep walking in the Light, In the Light, Keep walking, Walking in the Light! [By Michael Coldham-Fussell - 4th August 2014] |

FAITH Faith is as a tiny seed, Planted deep within the soul; Nourished by a trust in God, The seed begins to grow. Quietly it opens, Like a fragrant, blooming flower; Roots reach out to find a home, Enriched by God's great power. There so deep within the soul, Faith becomes a vine; The roots grow deep within the heart, Each tendril entwined. Then like a tranquil garden, Filled with sweet perfume; Faith blooms forth its color, From every fragrant bloom. Then as the seasons come and go, And blooms begin to die; There still is life within the soul, From the seed of faith inside! [Allison Chambers Coxsey - �1996] |

AN ANGEL'S TOUCH The tender touch of angel wings, Brush softly past your face; Summoned by soft spoken prayers, To stand here in this place. Called to keep and guard you, To touch your heart with love; Sent as special messengers, From a holy place above. Sent to whisper words of peace, To calm a restless soul; Sent to watch you as you sleep, Their angel wings unfold. They cover you with tenderness, They watch your slumbering face; They call you into peaceful rest, As they stand here in this place. They walk beside you every step, As you go about your day; Their mission is to guard you, As you travel on your way. So if you feel a tender touch, A breeze upon your face; Just know I prayed for angels, To keep you in this place. [Allison Chambers Coxsey - �1994] |

THE BEAUTY IN YOU I see you in the morning, When the sun glows through the haze; As the beauty of a thousand lights, Bring forth a newborn day. In the fragrance of a tender flower, Touched and kissed by morning dew; When its petals spread to seek the sun, It is there that I see you. As I look on the horizon, See an eagle take to flight; In all its strength and beauty, I see you in the sky. I can hear you in the silence, Of a summer's afternoon; As soft warm breeze sweeps over me, Your quietness fills my room. I can smell you in the distant rain, As it falls to kiss the ground; The clean and earthy smell of you, Its fragrance does surround. Then as the sun falls softly, And night breeze fills the air; As stars come twinkling from the sky, I see your beauty there. Though splendor does surround me, It never will replace; The beauty that my heart does see, When I behold your face. [Allison Chambers Coxsey - �2005 ~ All Rights Reserved] |
