I Wonder

I wonder why there is envy, hate, and greed.

I wonder why there is war,

I wonder why friends fight

And what mean words are for.

If I could meet my God above,

I’d ask one simple pose,

Why do humans cause so much pain,

Why do you suppose?

I know the answer is simple,

 Kindness is a choice.

I’ll do my best to spread this word,

I’d wish for peace and care.

Each person represents the world.

Each person should do his share.

Remember that the world lies inside your heart,

Make peaceful choices everyday,

From the very start.

Peacefulness and calmness are held inside the heart.

Snowflake

Snowflakes waft and dance like crystal lace,

They gather and hold to pine needles,

My mind drifts like white lovely stars

falling from heaven's window.

Snowflakes fall.

Rick

Softly upon my knee,

Little boy of mine.

Hold gently my love for you, so dear.

Heaven's gifts you are my son.

What will you become?

Adventurer wise man, child of mirth,

you are everything to me.

The Hike

Earthen floor of leaves and moss,

crackling twigs and new ferns grow,

A hike across bumpy boulders,

strewn logs on the mountain top,

I head for a stream that bubbles and sings

as it travels downward.

Wind tossles the leaves and tickles the water

as it tumbles and laughs over rocks.

Up to the mountain top,

a panoramic vista,

the hawk's eye view,

a moment in time,

well worth the climb.

Angels

of Light

You have touched my heart

and given my soul wings.

Thank you for allowing me

the honor of your words,

the joy of God within.
