I Am Learning
Life is fragile
I am learning
To be aware
Even more
Of what I
Can lose
By one look
One word
All that I
Thought can
Disappear
Into the black skies
I am learning
To appreciate
Even more
Than what I
Did before
The gifts of
Friendship
The life I live
For I know
That in a
Blink of an eye
It can all
Be taken away.

QUOTES
Johhny Cash, Thanksgiving Prayer
Thanksgiving Song, Brianna Haynes
He Heard Our Whispers
Can it be this easy
To see stress leave
Or am I just lucky
That no one has grieved.
Is knowing that help
Is on its way
To save the damsel
And the man who does sway.
Not one tear has escaped
As we sat down and talked
We both know there is help
So he can continue to walk.
Two extra hands can only be good
To help with all things that we do
I pray that she shows and isn’t too late
As I knock on each piece of wood.
I thank each of you
For the prayers that you gave
You know that my quest
Was asked not by one but by twos.
I do not know what tomorrow will bring
But I thank God for this wonderful day
Giving strength and some peace for each of us
It brings joy to my heart, and now it does sing.

Thank You
What am I thankful for today
That I was able to work and play.
That I could see where others are blind
That I could think with my own mind.
I saw tears and I saw pain
But I saw sun, no clouds, no rain.
I was able to use my feet
As others had to sit in their seat.
I used my hands to pull the weeds
I touched the ground and planted seeds.
I thank you Lord for watching over me
I thank you Lord for tranquility.
The tears were spotty here and there
Thank you for the time that we could share.
I ask you God for peace to flow
Through Al’s mind and body til he does go.
I thank you God for my Cali cat
Who brings me love while sitting in my lap.
I ask for silence as we do sleep
For no bad dreams for him to keep.
I am thankful Lord for all you do
For watching over Al and me too.
Life would be so hard today
If you were not guiding all the way.
I will give thanks to the one above
For forgiving my sin, and continued love.
Amen
Don’t Be Blinded
There is much to be thankful for
In this world we live in
But pain can blind us
And we can give in.
Not seeing what stands before our eyes
Blinded lies are looking down
Walking away from this that shines
With smiles that have been turned into frowns.
We need to get down on bended knee
Hands together, head bowing low
Thanking God for all he gives
Loving Jesus and letting all know.
