    About this ebook

    The Old Couple
    I walk through the park almost every day
    And see many things as I go on my way
    Often I see this old gentleman holding his wifes hand
    They look at each other with a glance they understand
    They sit by the lake and feed the birds and ducks
    Occasionally smiling and giving their knowing looks
    What a wonderful sight to see love so true
    It brightens the day and fills your own heart too.

      I walk through the park almost every day

      And see many things as I go on my way

      Often I see this old gentleman holding his wifes hand

      They look at each other with a glance they understand

      They sit by the lake and feed the birds and ducks

      Occasionally smiling and giving their knowing looks

      What a wonderful sight to see love so true

      It brightens the day and fills your own heart too.

      Color Me Blessed

      10232.jpg

      The warmth of the sun upon my face

      The smell of the flowers, their loveliness and grace

      The grass so soft, I know it’s green

      The sky so blue, but never seen

      What is green, what is blue

      I see all things just like you

      Yes my friend, I see all things

      From insects black, to the butterflies wings

      The silvery moon, the gold of the sun

      The twinkling stars when day is done

      The color of the sun I know so well

      The color of the grass from its softness and smell

      The moon the stars that shine above

      I color them too, from Gods love

      And my fingers feel my world for me

      Nothing stops me, although I can’t see

      Each season as its own hue

      Just like joy and pain I color that too

      It comes from my heart, my very soul

      The colors of heaven make me whole

      Danger is dark then we feel fear

      But safety is a warm color that holds us near

      Laughter is bright like happiness and love

      The color is lovely and soft as a dove

      Gentleness is sweet and light as air

      Just like the brightness comes from those who care

      And as my fingers feel the smile as I trace

      It’s the color of love upon your face

      Although your day is still my night

      I’m no different from you except in sight

      Perhaps I’m lucky for the colors I see

      Are from Gods own love and pure as can be.

      November 1¹th

      10234.jpg

      For every-one who fights, what does this day mean

      Not without tears we can set the scene

      What does each one remember

      Every day, not just the 11th. of November

      What’s in their mind and in their heart

      It’s not just their loved ones who are far apart

      What do they tell their children of such days

      It’s the pain and loss
