I love you
When you hold me tight
I love you
Through each day and night
I love you
For how you make me feel
I love you
For being so very real
I love you
For kindness in your voice
I love you
Will always be my choice
I love you
For your love and grace
I love you
For your warm embrace

I had a teacher
Her name was Sister S
She taught me math
It was quite a success
She taught me to drive
So I could drive my own car
With my math and my driving
I could get very far
She taught us about rights
And to leave all the wrongs
And taught us about life
And to sing many songs
My informative years
She was able to guide
Showing compassion and love
And any faults she would hide
I had the freedom
To become the woman I am
Sister Sheila was tough
Answer with only – “Yes ma’am”
But she cared for me
As she now cares for my niece –
Thank you for all you have done
I give you my peace
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Playlist of the Week.”
Five songs playing on
The radio this past week
You-tubed here below
I’ve been staring at
This lamp for two days when it
Occurred to me – Beige
Born in innocence
The love of a child
Seed falling to earth
To germinate and grow
Becoming citizens of this
World, each babe that is born
Carries a light and a love
Holy blessings bestow
Keeping company with
Truth and liberty, to
Brighten our world
Thank you for your kind
Words of support, I will reply
To each one a bit later
An elastic is wrapped
Around my head tightening
And squeezing itself so that the
Pain is inescapable leaving
Me nowhere to escape and
Nowhere to hide
Thank you for previous comments
That have been left unreplied
Will reply when I am well again
Dawn
Sunrise surrounds me
As the morning birds sing
Their morning song
Softy and sweetly
Sharing morning stories
Of new days and of life
And hope surreal
Dusk
Dogs bark and growl
As the sun dissolves
From the day and is replaced
By a quarter moon
The wolves howl and night owls
Awaken from their slumber
To greet the
Deep dank darkness
Of a dying day

I want to be with you
When you wake up
And when you go to sleep
I want to be the one you hold
When you laugh
And when you cry
I want to be with you
When you mourn
And when you love
I want to be the one you love
When you grow old
And when you die
I want to be with you

My house is on fire
Have nowhere to go
My home is in flames
The timbers are low
I look to the east
I look to the west
And feel my heart ache
My soul’s treasure chest
Fruits of my faith
Are what I would take
Hope, faith, joy, love and peace
Everything else I could forsake
