To Dale, from your friend Ron

Today was a bit different,

a friend of mine had moved on

I felt a little empty inside,

while I lie in the dark,

awaiting a new dawn

For the new day will arrive,

that I can cast my eyes upon

But I’ll never forget you my dear friend,

even when you’re gone

I needn’t say ‘ rest in peace ‘

because it’s something you learned to do,

long ago

But the the times I will cherish,

when I think of you, I just want you to know

So may you be in the arms of GOD,

and feel his warm embrace

His gentle kindness,

and the soft glow,

of his ever present grace

You will be missed my friend!

Amen

The scent of the night

blooming jasmine in the stillness of night

as stars flicker far off,

as dreams in the sky

A gentle breeze caresses,

the mind dances about

Visions of romances

One shouldn’t be without

A glance to the heavens, as eyes slowly close

Ideas most grand

But then again…..

One never knows

Take ease into the evening

joy into your night

And allow yourself to drift through the darkness

Awaiting the gift of a new mornings light

Clouds aloft and drifting, in an elegance of there own,

a wispy dance, a billowing performance,

or a dark and ominous looming dome

The Sun often joins in,

peeping through with help from the wind,

and sends rays dancing among us,

as leaves frolic and spin

The nectar of God, provided from above,

for nourishment of our growing friends,

in the continued cycle, where the means, always justifies the ends

The amusement oft provided, by shapes forming,

for our minds to explore

A lion, clown or a tree, and then in a moment, not as it was before

For their fluffy ensembles, congregating as they do quite often

Providing shade, casting rain and snow with sullen thoughts,

that will soon be forgotten

Then the awakening to a palette of only blue in every direction,

as the sun sits alone

Beautiful as they are, sometimes those clouds,

feel more like I am at home

So when my eyes are cast, upon the vast array,

of an ever changing sky

Don’t mind me if I’m waving, it’s just my way of saying hello,

as they pass me by

 

May your days be be blessed with happiness,

your heart be filled with joy

May your times with those whom you Love,

be given as gifts for them to enjoy

May you find patience and calm throughout your days

May your smile shine bright, upon your path,

most merrily upon your way

May you leave kindness to those that you come in contact with

May God be ever present in their lives, be your never ending wish

And May you also find all of these gifts that you kindly give out

And May all that you have given, arrive back to you,

for it’s what you’re all about

 

The bliss of Love given, the caressing of one soul,
the thought of kindness received, and the awareness to know.

In the basket you carry, may it contain gratitude and joy,
in all that is gracious, will help fill any void.

May the world be marvelous, and provide happiness all around,
where hate and anger, are nowhere to be found.

Not to be advice, but a wish from my heart
a gift from our Lord, that we all are a part.
