It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and look deep into my eyes. You’re getting sleepy, very, very sleepy. OK, so maybe not but I did write a poem about “eyes.” I hope you enjoy. 🙂
EYES
When you look into my eyes
What is it that you see?
Am I just “another”
Are you truly looking at me?
The gateway to the soul
It seems eyes can reveal
A bit about each of us
And how we may feel Continue reading
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and take flight with a butterfly.
BUTTERFLY WINGS
Oh you beautiful butterfly
Those wings can take you oh so high
Oh to have those butterfly wings
Oh what joy they must bring
Oh butterfly with wings so great
Can you fly beyond the golden gate?
Please find my dear beloved sis
And give her a big butterfly kiss Continue reading
My heart literally breaks for animals and how they are treated in our society by so many. And my new favorite word for anyone that I hear or read about that hurts an animal is jack***. You see, I’m not one who curses, but that seems to be a favorite word of mine lately.
Is it because I’m older and less patient? Is it because my sister passed away and I’m more sensitive? Or maybe it’s both. Whatever the reason I wrote the following short poem to express some of the emotions I have been feeling (swear words not included 🙂 ).
We are their voice…stay strong!
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and come along with me to take a little closer look at a few of the animals I have featured in my banner.
Dana loves animals. Her family adopted Sarge when he was just a puppy and was a beloved family member for years. Here is Dana with him when she was 10 years old. Awww.
Meet “Silly Sarge”, the painting she did of him to honor his memory. Continue reading
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and remember.
Time, it certainly does fly by.
Yesterday was already the one year anniversary of my sister’s death. My mom & I were sitting on the bench at the cemetery talking about how fast the year went. Sometimes we still think her death was just a dream.
The best way for me to get out my emotions is through writing poetry. So here is one I wrote remembering my sister Lisa.
Prioritize, the list can wait
Because it will soon be too late
We say “tomorrow” in our exhaust
Not realizing the time will soon be lost
Time it seems to quickly pass
Slow down, you’re going way too fast
One day I go to pick up the phone
But then I remember you’re never coming home Continue reading
A DIFFERENT VIEW
God created all the animals
THEN he created man
Trusting us with dominion over them
That was his beautiful plan
Dominion means power & control
Authority, command & sway
Is your view of that bad?
Because that is not God’s way
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and for me today I want to express my gratitude & joy.
I was thrilled to see that we just hit 500 blog followers.
What did you say?
I said we just hit 500 followers!
Although the number of followers isn’t as important as the impact hopefully being made for animals…I am so, so grateful!
I think Cino wanted to thank you too! Continue reading
I don’t usually write two posts in one day but I wrote a poem that reflects some things I have been feeling lately and wanted to share it. I also thought since today is Father’s Day that anyone who has lost their father, doesn’t have one around, or doesn’t have a good relationship with theirs might be encouraged. We all have a Father available if we just look up.
When you hear about another shooting
And your emotions are starting to buildup
It’s easy to start feeling scared
But I am going to choose to look up
When you hear about another abused animal
And you’re crying for that pup
It’s easy to start feeling hopeless
But I am going to choose to look up Continue reading
Celebrate me, celebrate you
Birthdays celebrate a birth
So celebrate your beloved pets
To show them what their worth
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and enjoy some poetry (at least I hope you will). The picture below is one of my favorites. So the up close image of the side of my hand was mistaken for an elephant’s foot (it really was by someone at work). I still love it because it is my hand and Cino’s paw. It’s very special to me. 🙂
HAND AND PAW
A gift from God
For now you’re mine
Put your paw in my hand
And together we’ll be fine
A gentle pet to your paw
You lift it up & reach back
A silent form of communication
Of love we do not lack
My hand rolls it toward you
Your paw wacks the ball Continue reading
Animals Are Feeling Beings Too
