A few months ago my life was helter skelter
Now, I rejoice, in the laughter at the shelter.
There is never a problem that one of us has not been through.
There is always joy and understanding even when skies are not blue.
We have our own experiences.
We have compassion in the pain.
But, now, I am at home in [...]

I will honour Thee
with a smile to my beloved family across the breakfast table.
I will honour Thee
with kind words across the street.
I will honour Thee
by acknowledging where I walk is sacred ground.
I will honour Thee

When faced with an illness
An accident
A fall
I rejoice
Asking
“Is this my ticket home?
Am I about to answer the call?”
The wise one who teaches me
Answers with a kind laugh in his voice…
“You are already Home.”
Acceptance dances as one with Soul.
I delight in this moment.
I know I am Home.
I truly rejoice.
I am whole.

Your birthday is coming.
I won’t be making our birthday call.
We would always sing together
“If heaven’s not my Home,
Then Lord, what will I do”
Now your birthday is coming
You have crossed the Great Divide.
I can almost hear you singing with
The Angels by your side.
Give Bonnie a kiss
Share with Mother [...]

Christmas felt like a play rehearsal.
The stars, my parents, were missing.
You had already gone to Broadway.
Act One, had already been performed .
Your work here was done.
Because of your love and your life
It is, for me, Christmas everyday.
Some moments, do not feel like presents.
Some moments, I feel stuffed and overfed with grief.
Some hours pass, now, [...]

I could see forever in your eyes Mother.
You sense of humour was amazing.
It probably still is.
Saturdays I miss you the most.
I will feel your love on the breeze.
Often when I go for long walks
I remember the forest
Our special talks.
On Saturday evenings we [...]

My home is a palace,
A temple of praise.
A place of worship,
A portal of joy.
A launching pad
‘Tis my jumping off place
I embrace and am renewed
I bask in the Master’s grace.
I have sunlight enough
To flood over my face.
The moonlight calls me
To its sweet embrace.
The serenity, the safety
the sensuousness of the place
Often has me blushing
With enjoyment of [...]

The mystical magic mist of Monday permates my being and I
am enjoying a lazy moment.
A being moment.
A mindful moment.
A moment in time.

I was helped, held, and healed in the embrace
Of my loving Higher Power.
The Sunlight of the Spirit
Rolled over me.

I watched as my pain
Formed into rain.
It renewed the earth as it fell.
The earth sprung up
Into the mountainous skies.
The beauty was shards to Soul.
I caressed the
shards with my eyes;
wanting it to cut deep.
Cut away the dross.
Cut away the loss.
The peaks were covered with misty fog.
The peaks were covered in rain.
