Art Therapy: Be the Change You Want to See

LOVED BY ALL & MISSED BY MANY....

Augustana recreates her life with her mother,
Remember how she taught us their is no other.

From Birth, my Mami would laugh & chide,
'Is it your birthday?', I almost died!
But she really was a fine lady you see,
Everyone knew her as a Sage, as sweet as could be.
While sitting on a Sunny bench w/her new 'Diana-Treasure' baby,
Someone laughed saying, 'You've lost your lap'....
'That'd be news to her, Mami said in a Snap':)
One Mother's day, she smiled & smelled my gift of scented flower,
Her joyful smile filled me up with God's loving power.
She sang as she taught me to re-pot plants....
as we played with the dirt (never mind the ants:)
Mami loved to walk to the places-where 'It' was at,
while I convinced her to adopt our friends cat.
She'd sing a dirge and teach us a lesson or two,
we sat at her feet, while she'd chase away blues.
'Annie,Get me a Cafe!',she'd say, while Mami sat with my sick sister Millie night & day.
Sewing was her legacy, she taught everything she knew to me :)
Mami read us'El Diario'newspaper daily, the woes & hooray,
As She taught & thought of our future life someday.
Mami's slipper-chancletas would fly thru the air,
as we tried to escape, daring to act as if we didn't care.
As a grown lady, Millie had Mami's change purse,
buying her medicine-now she was the nurse.
Our Parents on Sunday to the Park would go,
a promise made by my sister made along time ago.
The oldest sister has all the early memories,
for she was the one who cared for all of us, especially me.
As I was going thru Mami Treasures....found bounty items that her love did measure.
My favorite doll she kept safely,
and the quotes in Mami's letters still teach lessons to me.

Places in the Heart....

Thoughtful Prayers for Persons & Families of those in the Arizona-Tragedy.

Among the deceased a young girl, and a gentlemen-member of the church of Christ. Precious are the memories.

God Bless & Protect....In Christ, thy will be done.

PASEDENA ROSE BOWL PARADE !!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!

In Christ God promises a new beginning for you.

We shouldn't have to wait a whole year through.

All great blessings come from God above.

He sends them In Christ filled with his love.

As we watched the Parade, I exclaimed with glee,

One day Christ will come how grand that will be.

He's the Marshall in front float for all to see,

all the blessings that he gives us daily.

I enjoyed the excitement and I enjoyed the fun.

Someday it will be much better when we see God's son.

Remember & Enjoy: Life's Jubilee considering how wonderful & grand it will be for you & me.

AS I REMEMBER CHRISTMAS....

As I remember Christmas, I think of Christmas past.

The days & night spent wondering, when will he come at last.

Not realizing that in my quest our God was preparing me.

For that final celebration when Christ returns you'll see.

We thought of all the presents & candy oh so grand.

Just think of all the blessing 'In Christ' our God has planned.

The season changed in wonder and we all looked above.

Thinking of the joys fulfilled when God would send his love.

The girls all dressed so pretty, the boys sharp as a tac.

Eyes all looking forward, never looking back.

Courtney with her journal would write it down you see.

She kept all family memories to share with you & me.

Jasmine sweetly smiling preparing for that day.

To sing the Joys of Jesus her favorite song Sunday.

And Wesley boy was cousin sick, you know he just did miss.

Joel Andrew & David William, but one thing was amiss.

Their thoughts float to heaven as they worshipped God Sunday.

And they'd all know they're together In Spirit,

especially on the Lord's Day.

Remember & Enjoy: Angels rejoice when we turn our hearts to God....Acts 2:38-47....God adds us to his church family.

POPPA's TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Tonight is Christmas Eve, and I can't wait to to hear

Poppa voice reading 'Twas the Night before Christmas right hear in my ear.

He reads it every year I know since we were little boys,

his voice puts us to sleep as I dream of Santa's toys.

Whenever I think of Poppa, I will always reminisce,

and his voice I'll hear in my heart as I plan my Christmas list.

Someday my children may ask me, of the stories Poppa read.

I will take them in my lap and repeat the words he said.

Merry Christmas to all and as they bow their head.

I'll plant a 'Poppa-kiss' and as I put them all to bed.

Remember & Enjoy: Cherished Memories...Thank you Poppa :)
