Get All of the Word's Out

Find the words

To get the thoughts out

Write them down

Though not a lot now

More will come

As you ruminate

Life lessons,

In you, will awake

This poem is based on personal reflection. 

I had a concussion and blacked out around 10 years ago. It was a bit of balance and vision recovery. Since then, I don't play the piano (only for my ears in quality) or read like I used to. I decided to  push myself into getting a masters. Crazy, right?  And I would hear my husband say, 'Find your words" a lot when we were talking. We kind of joked about it. I would replace words in sentences like couch for bench. And it was fascinating how my brain came up with that. 

But writing became more of a joy. I find it easier to write than speak. A good thing because getting a masters in education requires a lot of written reflection which I call blah blah. Lol. 

I have always been one who remembers things by writing them down. Each church talk is a new gem- a source for writing. Never do old talks or previous poems get in the way- even after 7,000 poems! 

I ponder and feel the words/the thought that get me started. And I know when I'm done because I got "all the words out".

Cause of Liberty

The flag of freedom

Is a banner that we share-

A Constitution 

Now seems framed everywhere! 

You burned the red, white, and blue- 

Having given up on God?

How hatred burns within you! 

You've forgotten what we've got!

Government doesn't grant freedom

It protects God's gift to us

So we can grow in love and wisdom

And self govern through choice, thus.

Now- it is time to unite

And trust in principles

Let's focus on what's right

For common sense is simple

Please don't destroy our country

Because you feel to protest

Let it go and let it be

And trust the election's process

Let's Help Trump Get to Heaven!

May Trump get to Heaven

For having saved lives

For ending six wars, even

By rebuilding ties

Might I add one more war?

America, from within

We forgot what we're For

Perhaps we will with Him?

Money, fear, enemies

Family, abortion, sex

We've lost our identity

I can't fathom what comes next!

Lost, are the rules

Of Civility!

We've become fools!

Where's dignity?

America loves immigrants

But not through the Cartel!

For each pass through evil hands

Who"re now more powerful 

Human trafficking?

And...who wants Fentanol?

Corruption's infiltrating!

Let's fight this!- One and all!

Pray for America

For the land of the free

We need miracles

To achieve unity

And Heaven...our destiny

In Memory of Our Call to Duty WW ll

A Story You'll Never Forget Salt Lake man honors veterans for Memorial Day - ksl.com

Salt Lake man honors veterans for Memorial Day - ksl.com

The gestapo stopped him as he was about to pass
They demanded that he drop his pants
Seeking the evidence of a circumcision
His arrest was but a quick decision

His job would be to cut down the huge trees
To feed the fires for the crematories
His hard shoes were made of cloth and bark
From a dead man's feet, evidence his future was stark

Each man's weight was only skin and bones
Side by side six slept in a bed full of groans
Where on the hour together they would flip
Lest any one of them might break a hip

Then came a rucus... they were told to hide
In the sewer, a slippery fecal slide
Someone yelled out, they were now free!
And that they were alive, it was hard to believe

Each man in the service wept at the sight
How could these prisoners still be alive?
They helped to clean them and sought to understand
And for their courage they shook each slight hand

The boy... does anyone know what became of him?
Years passed and family found him healthy and trim
What a celebration! Having thought him dead!
With determination they would look ahead

But...for the others their story is retold
That the memory never ever grow cold
Shall we eliminate a color, religion, or race?
No! We are all God's children- with love to embrace

Answer to a Nation Sliding into Chaos

When chaos overcomes

Efforts to deesculate

A spiritual revival becomes

Our best hope to erase hate

Laws are being toyed with

Amidst civil unrest

Civility can't win when

We don't share how we are blessed

Great Britain is at risk.

France is at risk.

Germany is at risk.

The US is at risk.

You have to be a healthy nation

To take refugees in

When there's no acclimation

Civil unrest begins

The Overdue Homecoming

The son, brother, husband, father

Long overdue.  Long past hope.

The remains found years after.

Now, brought to rest. Honored. Home.
