Wow!! What more can I say? Please be good my children,
I can't wait til another day Only Sweetness
That I can write Do Today,
The feelings of my heart It does not thrill me,
On subjects I love, Only chills me,
Of thoughts of Above When you disobey!
And things around me:
Temporal, spiritual,
Heavenly and Earthly,
On Scripture and Family,
Good books and Genealogy!

Past Midnight (12 Oct 1994) Mother in despair (13 Oct 1994)
The time is past midnight, Disobedient, naughty,
And I must go to sleep Defiant, out of control,
And in my delight, Out of order,
Dream that I might Disorder
My new blessing keep, Today
And reap and reap! Earache, tired eyes,
Exasperation and
Frustration ....

Rhyming (13 Oct 1994) Faith (13 Oct 1994)
Rhyming I love my Saviour
Chiming I could not quaver
Divining - From declaring his name.
Words miming
Actions, To deny faith in Him
Portraying I could never do,
Conveying - I hope and pray I'm true.
Exacting
Extracting!

pondering the meaning I had a scare,
of my sudden fear. but now relieved,
All is well,

she fell and banged as her colour returned.

it was not far, it within the hour.
was not hard,
the distance she fell, I had a scare,
and the fall she had, it did me good,
but it caught her it made me think,
breath it made me seek
and she could not breathe! for answers and
understanding.
I had a scare It took me awhile
my Becka went blue, to recover,
her eyes rolled, but brought me closer
her body went limp. to understanding that
I banged her back, no matter what disaster
not just once, but a few, happens in our life,
it did not help, or what fear,
She did not breath... we need to trust,
the room went grey, and hold dear
time stood still. Our Heavenly Father.
I had a scare I had a scare,

NO! NO! NO! to do all I can,
I held my Rebekah to do my part,
and carried her in my arms .. til they return
to the heaven I
yearn.

and fulfil my
role
as parent, teacher
and saver of
life and soul.
