Justice – Weekly Photo Challenge

photo shot in Manhattan by FrizzText

 As I kneel here waiting
the scene I am contemplating

Those people staring at me
with their shock and curiosity

Whispering in each others ear
looking at me with fear

 Yet I won’t hang my head
but hold it proud instead

Although I broke the law
and everybody around here saw

What would you have done
if he molested your son?

They can take me away
’cause I got my justice today!

My Friday Thoughts – “What is Wrong With You Today?”

That is the question my husband asked me last night when I showed him my posts for the day.  The e-mail about the stuttering kitty got a raised eyebrow because of the s-word but when he heard my limericks, that was the kicker.  Shaking his head he looked at me laughingly saying, “What is wrong with you today?!  You wrote that?!  On your blog?!!!  What about God?”

I explained to him that a limerick is supposed to be somewhat raunchy and that mine were mild compared to some of the ones that I have read; I attempted to do them as tastefully as possible; I had not used any swear words; the humor was in the visual; and lastly, that God has a sense of humor ’cause where else would we have gotten it from?  Then as I added, “Besides, I needed a good laugh today to easy some of the stress I’ve been through this week!”  As my brother’s e-mails always state “I can’t help it, I’m Irish!”

Mark started to walk away, laughing at me of course, then turned and said, “Well, there goes some of your subscribers after they read that!”

Therefore, I thought that I may need to put out a quick apology to anyone that I may have offended yesterday in my diversion for the normal state of my blog.  Please do forgive me if I did, it was not done with any malice in mind.   

I appreciate and cherish every one of you who have seen fit to follow what I write, comment and “like” my posts.  You make everything that I do worthwhile and I take your feelings seriously.

In the future, I will try to refrain from such off-the-wall behavior but, in all honesty, can make no concrete promises – just keeping it real!

Peace, love and blessings,
Terri

 

Abandon Praise

(Image Source: photobucket.com)

Along the shore I danced
and with great abandon praise

The Lord of my life
as thanksgiving for His grace

Being unaware of the time
 I pranced around through space

The joy of my abandon
could nothing there displace

And all through the sand
my footprints you could trace

Even though the evening tide
did some of them erase

The warmth of the sun
I felt upon my face

As ever up and down
the shore in dance I race

The pleasure of His presence
I found in this place

Told me He was watching
my abandon dance of praise!

Israel, Oh Israel

Israel, oh Israel
God’s chosen nation

In you I’ve found
is all explanation

Roots there begun
have led into

My belief in
the Father of you

Israel, oh Israel
through grief and pain

To God Almighty
loyal you remain

My loving support
to you I give

And forever will
long as I live

May God’s every blessing
as rivers to you flow

 That you are His nation
all the world to show!

The Ballerina

(Image Source: latoro.com)

There once was a story
that as a girl I heard
of this pretty little ballerina
that seemed to me absurd

Who had found herself in
a dream oh so weird
that she had gone crazy
this ballerina all but feared

Where in a peculiar way
was perched on a wall
and reaching out to catch
a falling star on a ball

There also was a jester
who was juggling some more
along with these white geese
who were honking a galore

When it was all done
my mother to me explained
the meaning of the story
which to this day remained

The ballerina was all mankind
and each of the balls
a blessing out of heaven
to catch as it falls

The jester was the devil
who creates our earthly struggles
and to believe in God
around our mind he juggles

As the geese his demons
go honking in our ear
all to distract us from
finding our way through here

But if we just reach out
with some faith and trust
to catch those falling stars
to flee from us he must!

Friday Morning Animal Laughs

The doggie thought he would
take on a billy-goat
but he got rammed instead
leaving billy there to gloat!

 

 

Fox and mouse
played hide and seek
too bad for mouse
fox heard him squeak

 

 

 

 

Kitty – Friday’s Limerick

There once was little a kitty
who sang us all a ditty
and I do so declare
that he didn’t even care
if he sang it all that pretty!

The Well

Threw a coin
into the well
then in silence
did I yell

Just this one
wish give me
when it’s my
most earnest plea

For a love
felt so strong
that it can
never go wrong

With a desire 
for such bliss
found alone in 
one man’s kiss

One heart beating
 attune with mine
as only created
by the Divine!
