Shyanna

Sensitive and caring, these traits you do best show, 
Helping with your brother, means more than you will know, 
Youthful, yet so ‘adult’ we’ve seen this young girl grow.
Adapting to new settings, acclimatized so well,
Normality was changing, your fears you did dispel,            
Now a mid teenager, at school you did excel.  
Anticipating adulthood, you’ve grown up so fast,
Learning skills, dexterity, agility to last,
Yearning for perfection, absorbing from the past.
Naturally stunning, your beauty is defined,
Notably your loveliness with purity, was lined,  
Looking quite exquisite, unique, one of a kind.
Interested in juggling and folding paper, art,
Tenderness a-plenty is oozing from your heart,
Caringly and lovingly accomplishing your part.
Hoping now for guidance, a purpose to fulfill,
Future plans, uncertain, in life, to do His will,
Ideally, in the missions, relying on Him, still.
Enjoying time with family and friends along the way,
Loving, as you’re loved, throughout each single day,
Deepening your faith and vision, as you pray.

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

I love you dad.

    I told my dad, while on his bed, assuming he did sleep, In hospital, [ he'd not come home ] with tears my eyes did weep, “I love you dad” Then hugged him tight, while feebly he replied “I.............love...............you................too..............son” THAT’S the thing I cherish, since he died. With forty years age difference, while young, we were not close. He wasn't very tactile and nor was he verbose, But as we aged, did closer grow, in ways he’d show his love, We’ll meet again, don’t know the ‘when’, – the ‘where’? – in Heaven above. I then went out to my car after this and bawled my eyes out at having had this special moment.

A Father's Blessing

                  As youngest son, I always sensed                   From many of the brothers,                   True or not, they’d put me down,                   I wasn’t like the others.                                    A few days prior to passing on,                  A blessing I was giv’n                        From my beloved, aged dad,                  Before he moved to Heav’n.                                    His health was failing faster now                  The family rallied 'round,                  My eldest bro from ‘cross the sea,                  Was heading ‘homeward bound’.                                   While visiting, - a daily rit,                 To spend some ‘qual’ty time’,                 I mentioned ‘bout th'upcoming trip,                 I’ll ne’er forget this line.                                 “You’ll not need me tomorrow night                 To visit with you, dad,                 Your number
