"Christmas is Hope" (written on Halloween)
Christmas is not a Holiday
It's A Miracle For The Universe To Hear
It's A song of Praise rising up like
wafting smoke curls from an old cigar
or a person's last words in their deathbed
christmas is courage. it's what we fight for
its everything its hope its light its night its
its a light in the night burning forever its a star
burning Christmas Star burning bright and fierce
like my temper is christmas it is a fire lit by a spark
It is the reason the seasons roll around at all
it is my life and my husband's little home
everything points to Christmas it is forTheodore
 Let The Stars Sing In The Heavens
At Christmas we forget about death and pain and evil
even though today is halloween
and satan is at work all over the world
yet Christmas is coming christmas is more than a holiday
its hope for the human race
its a time people are Good To One Another
It is a Time To Give Gifts
It is a time for giggles of little children
and anticipation and squeals of pleasure
for puppies and kittens and dolls and toys
all finding homes with their futures
at chrismastime the stars sing in the heavens
the angels are real i know what christmas is to me
what is it to you?
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

"Miracle"
The things I'm afraid to whisper to you
Are the Reasons I dont go out on Halloween
in the mud and settled leaves of a planter is life
a natural pond has settle there in fermented water
It's full of life and winter is coming
The Little Creatures in my Pond are Freezing
To Death, They Will Never Get To Live
Their Little Lives.  They Were Born
at touch of frostburn and burnt they are
they are my little children babies of hope
if a pond can grow inside of a puddle
in a planter sheltered from the rain,
Then Why can't miracles just--happen?
Why Can't there be hope for us all?
It's a little miracle, and yes they die
but the miracle is that they lived!
That is One reason I believe in Miracles.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

"Autumn Frost"
The Trees Are Shedding their garments
and Going To Sleep For Winter
They Do Not Die, They Sleep
Little insects die in the frost
Butterflies grow sleepy and lose their shimmer
butterflies dying in the winter, losing the dust
from their wings, hanging limply from blossoms
where they make their final stand
fallen butterflies about the flower garden
bumblebees slow down and slowly grow still
they are too tired to sting in the winter
and soon they will all be gone
The fairies go into their underground dwellings
underneath the great roots of trees for winter
for it grows cold.  The stars shine brighter
Orion comes into our night sky crisp and bright
Plants wither and fall away to the dirt
they become part of the soil and debris
of compost that becomes soil
all things die in winter, or go to sleep
to awaken in the spring
the homeless people must find shelter
or they too will freeze
a fire cannot keep out the cold weather forever
and if you see a homeless person wandering
take them in they are angels of god save a life
the homeless should not be hungry
the homeless cannot survive the elements
they will die of freezing unless they can find shelter
give to the poor and take in all creatures
even the little warm furry creatures burrow
and frogs dig into the mud.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.

"Halloween"
The Leaves Are Falling From The Trees
It is Halloween!  A Belly full of Candy
And Save Some For The Neighbors
Hay Rides Through Neighborhoods
With Cousins Aunts and Uncles
Listening to the Bible that we be blessed
Caramel Apples Taffy Chocolates everywhere
Children kicking up the fallen leaves
Me sitting serenely waiting for the children
trick or treaters are getting dressed up now
I will not leave my warm home this spooky night
Why should i, i am warm and safe and sound
no danger nor adventure for me
pumpkin pie and egg custard pie
little children dressing up all over the world
Mothers With Bowls of Candy For Little Children
I Have One Myself
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
