May this night bring peace and comfort –
bring a stillness to your soul.
May this night bring silent blessings –
that restore, and make you whole.
May this night lend quiet solace
from the troubles of this day.
May this night grant gift of slumber
to renew you on life’s way.
This night.
The Uvalde children haunt me.
Tangled thoughts swirl round and round.
Grown-ups heading ‘bout their business.
Slaughtered children in the ground.
The list of chores is endless.
They are never – ever – done.
As soon as one is handled,
up pops another one.
We pray for peace.
May we withstand
these gross intrusions on our land.
We pray for peace.
May, someday, Man stand tall together.
Hand in hand.
We pray for peace.
My candle burns for those who feel
discomfort in the soul.
It lifts a steady light to show
that all can be made whole.
May these blessings heal and hold you,
bring you comfort, make you whole.
May these blessings cup around you,
bringing solace to your soul.
Blessings.
It’s Triska-Diska-Phobia!*
Bad luck is lurking there!
The 13th’s on a Friday!
Great suspense is ev’ry where!
Today, you’d best be careful,
so I’ll tell you what to do.
Just laugh away this Friday,
and simply tell it: Boo!!!
*Fear of Friday the 13th
Some people claim to own a cat.
In part,that may be true.
But Precious Kitty makes it clear:
That Precious Cat owns You!
Toujours gai….
My pretty primrose lifts her face.
She smiles up to the sun.
She shares her beauty with us all.
Springtime has begun….
A birthday cake is special,
bringing pleasure to the tummy.
Ev’ry single lick of it
is sweet and good and yummy.
