They have no claim to fame.
And if you never hear them,
It wouldn't be a shame.

Sometimes they will be rhyming.
Sometimes they will not.
Some are worth remembering,
And some are best forgot.

Some carry quite a message,
Of enormous profound thinking.
Some will make you hold your nose,
As if you think they're stinking.

But listen close and you will find,
A lesson to make life lighter,
And let each Witty Ditty
Help you hold God's finger tighter.

Helper or Honker

Are you a helper or a honker?
Have you helped someone today?
Did you give a little sunshine?
Or helped someone along the way?
If so you are a helper not a honker.
Because a honker only blames
The others on the road of life.
Because honkers lose life games.

They follow close behind the helpers
Who are doing work for God
And watch for any faults.
So on life's path-Honkers are a log
Who make a fuss and complain a lot
About how hard life is to live.
So lets pray they soon stop honking
And learn the pleasure of "Just Give!"

Soul Mate

Do you fell lonely and incomplete?
So you look in the mirror from your head to your feet
And you say to yourself "What's the matter with me?"
You may even rush to the Doctor's to find what he might see.
You may feel empty though you are full of food.
You might find you feel sad and even act rude.
If you live the mountains you might yearn for the valley.
You might change your name from Sarah to Sally.
You might change your job to find one that feels right.
So you might move to a new neighborhood just to change the sight.
There are so many things you might give a try.
But the loneliness still lingers and you wonder why.
If married you might think your partner is wrong.
And might even consider packing up and moving along.
So you break up the home and let the children adjust.
But the voice inside might be saying hear my whisper and trust.
I'm the half of you that you're missing; I'm just over the veil.
We'll be together at the end of the track.
You are just missing your home; yes you are on a journey.
Just keep giving love because love is the key.
And someday very soon together we'll be.
I'm your other half and I'm called your soul mate.
Yes I'm here by your side and its here I will wait.
So grow and grow and represent God well.
'Cause I'm right here- I'm the other half of you across the veil.
Yes you are a half of a cell in the body of the Creator.
And we will connect and be complete sooner or later.

Observe…

Observation is a tool
To help us follow the Golden Rule.
It can keep our path a lighted one
That was taught by Jesus - God's own son.

The bumps of others along the way
Can alert us to help them have a better day.
Its best we help and not just say,
I wouldn't do that
Or we might sit in the mud where they just sat.

Let's help each other and not act smug.
Reach out with a smile or give a hug.
They could have given you a gift of a life saving kind.
If you will just observe and not act blind.

Open your life's tool box and there you'll find,
Observation waiting to give to you a sight.
To help you and others have a smoother pathway.
Living joyously in love with each other and every day.

Christmas Time

Christmas Season
Time for thought
About all your loved ones
You may think you forgot
But if you take just a moment
Of time from you day
You'll be surprised at the memories
That will be sent your way.

Like trimming a tree
With the kids down the street
Or drinking a hot chocolate
That was nice and sweet.
Or wrapping a package
And puffing the house.
Or making a snow Santa
Using coal for his nose.
'Cause memories don't fade,
They just get stored inside.
To be brought out much late,
'Cause from you they won't hide.

Your Christmas gift
Smiling at someone
Saying something nice- mean it
Do something else not waiting for pay
Forgive yourself, for all the times you failed to do this.

Give, Give, Give….Receive!

As you give out you will receive.
If you'll be alert this you'll believe.
We came to earth to do good for others.
And not to complain about our brothers.

Just as the rain goes up and then comes down,
What you give out will come around.
And the seeds you plant will surely bloom,
And the flowers or weeds will feel your room.
You promised God before your birth,
That you would be known by what your worth.

Where good or bad the name will carry proud,
And it is only our body that will go to the ground.
The real part of us will be sailing high,
And we never need say a lasting good bye.

A Baby

The baby smiles - is he smiling at me?
Oh he's moving his eyes - can he really see?
Look at those fingers such beautiful hands.
Rings on his arms - miniature feet of a man.

Lots of sleep - seem to help him grow.
Yes he'll lean much more than I'll ever know.
Arms always waiting to give him love.
Wish he could talk and tell of life above.

But yet it's quite true that he came with a plan.
And the Angels above will help him grow to a man.
He is loved from both sides of the veil,
Connected to God means he is strong, not frail.

What fun for his family to watch him grow.
And help him learn earth life and help him know,
That he is holy and so so bright.
And help guide him forward into the path of light.

Let Love Shine

Earth Life is short at its longest span.
And living it to the fullest is
Really God's plan.
Don't save all the finery,
For a later time.
Do good things for others and
Good things for you.
'Cause you are God's kid,
And God wants you to….

Remember when you are loving
And thoughtful and kind.
God is living in you,
And your face will shine.
Don't put off till tomorrow
Realize you are representing God today.
Don't put your love in a drawer.
Just keep giving it away.

Your Gift

Don't doubt the strength
That you have with-in.
It will always be there,
And has always been?

Not to tap it for now,
And use it through life,
Would be such a shame
'Cause it will ease the strife.

The flow of strength
Waits just for you.
And the strength is love,
And keeps pouring through.

But the key to the latch,
Is held in your heart.
And patiently waits,
All we need is start!

God's Love …Inside Me!

Surround your self with the light of God.
And be protected from life's weary load.
Because the joys of a life filled with all that's good,
Is not hidden behind some secret code.

It's the wisdom you use in all that you do.
Yes of knowing to send out only love,
And that builds the shield of magnificent strength.
That shines like a light from above.

Yes the Angels will gather with wings so divine.
That will of course keep you from all harm.
And make you feel safe and joyously fine.
As they walk you arm in arm.

So remember the white light of protection supreme.
Is not pulled in from some far distant land.
But nestles inside of your body - woman or man.
Is the light that only you can expand.

Reach Out

Have you allowed yourself
To reach out some where
To show someone
You really care?

If you light a light,
In the heart of man,
You'll show your God
You want to do what you can.

To honor him whole.
You're still on earth,
And that you're thankful for
Your chance for birth.

When you go where
There are other folks around
Be sure to share with them
What you have found.

About God's love
And his love supreme.
That shows heaven's real,
Not just a dream.

Speak up - Speak out!
Be ready to give.
The truth you've found
About the way to live.

In a life that's full
Of Goodness and Light.
Where the joy is abundant
And all feels right.

Freedom

Let's not give away our freedom
By the acts that we perform.
'Cause we were given freedom,
From the day we were born.
To give and care,
And to be aware.
Of the thoughts we send to others
And to each and everyone in life,
Treat as we would our brothers.
We are not free to harm the earth.
Or cheat the man next door.
Or to curse and lie and frighten
'Cause you will damage your own core.
Because as you want for others
You will receive that for yourself.
And if you destroy the earth that you live in.
You'll be under mining your own shelf.
And you then give away the sky of blue,
And water oh so clear.
Cause though we forget to count them.
They are some things that we hold dear.
So you really aren't free to do wrong things
Only things that are just right to do.
And we can then live in freedom,
Just as god wants us all too!

Now That I've met You

Now that I've met you
I know why I'd sit and cry
And feel so lonely.
Never before,
Could I watch the door.
For my eyes to see you
Coming there,
Into my room.
I'd party at night
But nothing was right.
I'd pray for the light
To bring a new day
Pray there would be a way
To fill the ache in my soul.
But now that you're near
It's your voice I hear.
And my fears are gone.
I'm so glad you came along.
Now that I've met you
I know why, I'd sit and cry
And feel so lonely.

Generations…

The progression of life
Through the generations of mankind
Is the folding of the blanket
Neatly packed away in time.
-So-
The top folds are the children
Weaved or knitted, sewed or quilted
Resting on the folds of those who sent before.
They are the closest to the sunshine
Touched much more than any other.
But the threads have all been patterned,
After Dad and after Mother.

Till they begin to realize
That life is for their making
To fill it up with positives
Life is for the giving, not the taking.
-So-
The sooner truth is made clear.
That the ancestors are a foundation.
That can start the planting of a seed.
That grows into a forest,
Of the Angel band and choirs oh so bold.
But no one can walk the life span,
Only the child that is the top of the blanket can.

Possessiveness

Possessiveness,
A word to fear.
Stops the flow of good
And your heart to tear.

You experience selfishness
And the pain of greed.
And from the anger of hate,
You can't be freed.

While only a desire
Of my soul,
Is to fill with love
It's the only goal.

And love can't be held,
By possessiveness.
Love can only flow free,
Then you can truly find bliss.

Russians possess the possessor
Not sure to possess to give abundant life
Because you will become imprisoned by your possessions.

Earth Day

Thank you God for Earth Day.
When we take a moment just to think,
That if we don't protect our waters,
Someday we may not have a drink.

And we may even take a moment
Just to think of tall tall trees.
And morning light and sun rise.
And the crispy cool cool breeze.

And we may even think of flowers
As the birds fly graciously by.
And we may feel a little thank full
For God's gift of blue blue sky.

Then we may take just a moment
To see what we can help preserve.
That will help the future children
Enjoy the Earth Garden they deserve.

Laugh

The movement of the ticking clock,
Seems to move our life a long.
The rhythm of the ocean,
Seems to give our life a song.

The weather never fails us.
It adds a theme to our life.
And yesterday traveled past us,
Thought it might have carried strife.

We look forward to tomorrow,
With the wonderment of a child.
And yet tomorrow never gets here,
Yet in our archives it gets filed.

Oh the joy of living happily,
And moving along life's path.
And yet savoring each and every day.
With the tool we all call "Laugh."

Laughter help give us freedom.
Freedom from our cares and woes.
And helps us to live thankfully,
Living with security God shows.

Thanks

We've got help.
You bet we do -
Anytime we need help with troubles
God's Angel's pull us through.

Sometimes we're like children
And not even aware.
But if we'll only journey inside,
The Angel's are waiting there.

And we can feel their love,
And even see their light.
That will guide us in comfort,
And win any of life's fights!

Let's remember to say Thanks!
To the love so divine.
We may be the grapes of life,
But God is the vine!

Words…

What words have you given
As a gift today?
Because be sure to be ready
They'll be back your way.

Did you say I'm glad,
To see you here?
Or were your words so sharp
They brought out a tear.

A child can hear
A mother's song,
That will being memories for years
That comes along.

A man's words can comfort,
An aching wife,
While her body nourishes
A new born life.

And words can incite,
A raging war,
Or soothe the anger
So it is felt no more.

A crowd once gathered
To shout crucify!
A man who bought love
To you and I!

So watch your words.
Let them be what you know,
You want in our garden.
'Cause it's there they'll grow!

Are You Happy?

Are you happy this Day?
And if you aren't - why not?
Probably the reason your not you have already forgot.
Because many wonderful things each day,
Can quickly drive the blues away.

A call form a neighbor,
Who needs your helping hand.
Can help you step lighter
As you march to a band.
As you feel good being able to give
Help you have a better way to live.

The aroma of flowers,
Just over the fence.
Eases your nerves so you don't feel tense.
The song of a bird or a star in the sky,
Can cause you to pause and wonder why.
You should even for one minute,
Not feel delightfully good.
So allow yourself happiness,
'Cause you know you should

Ruthie...

Your thoughts are loving,
Full of kindness and caring.
And your wisdom of your Angels
You are always sharing.

Yes, Ruthie you are quite an image,
Of what God wants us to be.
And we here on Wednesday are thankful,
That you are right her for us to see!!

More Ruthie…

Ruthie Dunsmore, a lady so supreme,
That God must smile
When he looks at her.
She is one to fill his dream.

When God sent us to earth,
He planned on us each to live,
So we could be his image,
Was the reason for our births.

Well this Ruthie, does the job so well.
That God must feel so proud
As he watches her reach out to all.
Lots of wisdom she does tell.

Her phone is always busy,
As she shares her thoughts of Love.
And her cards reach all the rest,
Just as pure as her snow white dove.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Ruthie!
You are one the world should know!
Your love extends to all of us,
No matter where we go.

You image God in all you do.
And you never make a fuss,
Because you know we love you,
Each and every one of us!

You bring us music every week,
And we enjoy it so much.
And it helps join us all together,
As our voices cuddle up.

You draw us pictures and answer phones
When we are in distress
And when we say do you have a minute?
You always say, Yes!

Jesus...

Now born in Bethlehem just a few miles apart,
Was a baby born that would touch many a heart.
We know him as Jesus, an evolved soul of the Creator.
He was born to John's Mother's niece Mary - just a few months later.

People gathered neat Mary to celebrate the baby's birth.
Because God had alerted them to the baby's true worth.
They brought many gifts and blessing galore.
To let everyone know they baby was one to adore.

As Jesus grew and became a young man,
And began to follow each step of his plan.
To speak of God and to tell all of Love.
Folks realized he had a message from God above.
But just as Jesus knew his work for the plans on high.
We all have a planned job, lets get busy, you and I!

Birds…

Red birds, blue birds.
Birds are black with orange and white.
Each have their little house
So they never have to fight.

Some fly high and some fly low.
Some screech and some gently chirp.
Some seem just to whistle,
And some that that seem to burp!

But they are all loved by Andy.
And her love mate named Buck.
And if any birds want a place to nest,
They surely are in luck.

True Love…

You cannot pretend love.
Or you will become depleted.
And your strength will become low,
And you'll want to stay seated.

You at this time need to question
Is your love really real?
And sit in judgment of you,
And what is it you feel.

Try to image you as God on a throne,
And how you must feel the action
That takes place in your home.
Do you get understanding,
Why things aren't going right?
Or how the light of love shines day and night.

Then with this understanding
You'll have more true love to give,
And you can now have a way to help the world to live.

We'll all Go Free…Eventually

If you knew your life soon would be though,
What would you do?
Would you quickly deny it?
Say the whole thing is a lie.
And get into your car,
And drive straight to the bar,
Or buy a plane ticket to Rome,
Or go in debt for a home?
Or would you pray
Asking god to show you the way,
To accomplish the task of giving.
'Cause that the reason for your living.
Helping others see more good.
Encouraging them to live more as they should.
Being an example of God's Light.
By doing what ever you feel is right.
Remember what ever you decide,
Needs to be now - because time is running out,
And we'll all go free - no doubt.

Connected...

You are always connected to the source.
The source of all guiding, compassionate love.
You are precious and oh so small.
But each connected to one and all

Thus you become a pillar of strength.
That can really work any length.
Born to be free to make you choice.
Surrounded and filled by this loving force.

When money doesn't matter
Then what would make you give.
Because the desire that governs most of us,
Is the desire to always win.

And it seems the winner of the game
Is the one with most possessions
And yet to think of owning all
Is the "Valley of Misconceptions."

There as yet has never been
A penny worth of wealth
That can be taken through the Pearly Gates,
Or give back someone their health.

Yes the joys of life are simple,
And the cast of them are small.
We need only to be thankful,
God has given joys to all.

And the joys are not given
To be held by each and everyone.
But to give away and in return,
The tree game of life is won.

Courage...

Pray for courage to practice the truth.
This is so needed by all of our youth.
And the truth is God's watching in love
God is a parent so kind looking down from above.

The thrill of the moment- being one of a crowd.
May not be pleasant later-not make you feel proud.
When you stand face to face with love so divine,
And he says, "Why did you hurt yourself - child of mine?"

And he picks you up and brushes you off
And says now try again - you'll make the top.
Just speak up with love- just give it away.
And someday we'll be together and together we'll stay.

Tomorrow Today

Build your tomorrow Today.
There really is no other way

God's Renewing his Kingdom
All's right with the world
When at times it might seem
Everything's wrong with God's scheme
But you just ask God for his light
And all will turn bright.

He's given us guidelines
Like stepping stones in a creek
And if we really want to use them
It's inside ourselves we must peak.

That's when our live will be smoother
As we sail the tide of life's flow
And when you look in the morrow
You'll see you are a light aglow.

So to find your purpose
You must only just ask
Get to tending God's garden
And be glad for the task.

Look for love in each other
And heaven on earth you will know
And the peace that comes with it
Will go where ever you go.

The best laid plans
Can sometimes foil
And this we learn
As our ship of life sets sail.

We've got a party
And our hair won't curl
Our necklace broke
And we find only one pearl.

Our car won't start
And the time is late
And for a repairman
We can only wait.

We can storm and complain
And make things worse
We can make it sound
Like we need a hearse.

Or we can help our selves
By remembering that after rain
The flowers always bloom
And a lady heals from pain.

And increase our faith
In the plans of God Divine
Who removes the roadblocks
And lights up the sign.

To peace ahead
And learning's found
That we are loved
Cause God is around.

Teach Our Children

Let's teach our children to love and respect.
This is the best life lesson they will ever get.
It's a gift they'll use for the rest of their years.
And will bring them more laughter and less sad tears.

This is the teaching of a young Jewish man.
Who was born to Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem.
He asked us to love not fear his father above.
And to do our best to be and example of Love.

He taught by example with actions thought and deeds.
And asked us to continue planting God's Love Seeds.
He showed us how he came to earth with not a penny.
And just like us left life without any.

But impressions he made of a spiritual plan,
Will live on forever in the heart of man.
Let's give our children a book to write their life's trail.
So they can read of their memories saying success not fail.

Not Named

Life is such a pleasure
When you know you are not alone
And if it gets a little bumpy
Someone helps roll away the stone.

When your body gives you trouble.
Its best to know your body is not you.
It is just he house you live
And God's love will pull you through.

The cards your friends send you
Are a token of God's Love and care
And the energy to cure all ills
Are waiting just to share.

Oh the blessing of a family,
Both Spiritual and Blood design.
Brings health and happiness galore
Because of the security that draws the line.

Love strengthens every fabric
Of the flesh as well as spirit.
And rhythm, tone and vibrancy
Fills every fiber in it.

The choice is yours
What ever you do
The Angels Friends
Help pull you through.

But you must know this
There is no one - no where
Responsible for you
Although Angels care.

But material things
That fade and pass with age….

Easter Time 4/17/2000

Easter time is a grand event.
It is a time of freedom of a man,
Who was spreading love where ever he went
He taught by example, as everyone should.
And asked us to do the same.
Don't you wish we all would?

His walk on the earth
Was a short time it is true.
But he was light when he was born and all his life through.
He said the laws of Moses was fine,
But just living in love,
We'll make your life filled with sunshine

He has never really left us
He watches us today
And he is there to help us each find our heavenly way,
To the glorious Father who loves us all.
And wants us each to stand proud and tall.
Because we are God's children created of love,
And wants our path to fit us like hand in a glove.

Jesus

The job was done
He gave his final speech
He came to be an example
And he came with a plan to teach.

He was born of flesh
In a town called Bethlehem
And each step of his walk
Was following a plan.

He started quite young
To talk of a place called Heaven
And spoke in a temple
Where he was not quite seven.

He stayed calm and strong
When the crowds were cruel
Because they thought that he
Wanted the King's crown so rule.

But he only taught that love
Was the only thing of value
And there are other rooms in God's Mansion
Just waiting for you.

Leaving his body of flesh
Was his final lesson for us
So he left his body
Without raising a fuss.

And he continued to show
His body of love and light
But left it up to us all
To give him an invite.

And he will enter your life
And fill it with delight
So you will know you are walking
The road that is right.

April 2001

Love yourself is very needed
In this world and the next.
This is made clear in the Bible
Yes, it is written in the text.

The advice is clearly stated
In the pages of that book,
Saying Love you neighbor
As you love yourself, just open it and looks.

So let's begin with our own footsteps
Clear negative around our feet.
And we'll begin to love each other
As we turn our sour life to sweet.

What Will They Say?

What will they write on your stone?
As a description of you?
Will they say what you've done
Will feel proud of it, too?

Will they say "What a good guy?"
We will miss him, 'cause he was so fun
Or "Here lies a man who was
A mean son-of-a-gun!"

Or "Here lies a man who was rich
And never shared a penny.
Now lets divide his estate, 'cause
He can't take it will him, no not any!"

Or "Here lies a man good thru and thru
He cared for others and helped where he could.
We are so glad to know him,
He lived the way God said he should."

So let's please all remember
You are writing your book line by line
That will be your epithah
When it comes your time!
