baby-706946_960_720
Slumber sweet o’er ocean’s bed
Wrapped in downy clouds, so light
My peaceful little sleepyhead
You are sheltered in the night

Off to dream of moon and stars
As sun sets across the way
Angels watch you from afar
In the darkened light of day

Sleep, my precious baby girl
As the birds sing their lullaby
For you are truly a fragile pearl
Luminescent, in a celestial sky

ruins-563629_960_720
Laid to rest at ruins feet, battered from the fight

A castle once known, now in defeat, oh how it lost its might

The many who have fought there, now dead among the grounds

Gather once again, where they, can shout their victory sounds

A cry among them, hollow, throughout the empty stone

No kingdom left to follow, they are left without a throne

Yet, still they wander, quite knightly, along these sacred lands

Where kings now lie, quit rightly, by their own very hands

I looked in the bottom of the bottle
My stomach began to churn
I looked up and down and all around
But couldn’t find the worm

The tequila was playing tricks
My mind was sort of fuzzy
I know that worm was somewhere near
He doesn’t want me to find him, does he?

I searched across the bar
I crawled along the floor
And still there was no sign of him
Maybe he went out the door

I staggered my way toward the exit
Hoping that’s where he’d be
Then reality hit with a sobering thought
The worm was inside of me

 

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!

farm-1351714_960_720
Painted is this path I stroll

With petals purest blush

I am mesmerized within the light

As I feel its warming touch

Caressing, softly, on my face

I take in what’s around me

A reminder of God’s simple grace

And the beauty that surrounds me

For this is Heaven to my heart

When I walk along this trail

Where I can breathe in all of life

And let my soul exhale

It is in the quiet hush of the rain,

when water falls in a cascade of tears,

that we no longer feel the need to cry,

for the clouds have done it for us.
