Troubled or Confused – Another From My Brother
|
Many times when I am troubled or confused, I find comfort in sitting in my backyard easy chair, enjoying some sharp cheese and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon along with a quiet conversation with Jesus.
This happened to me again after a particularly difficult day.
I said “Jesus, why do I work so hard?”
And I heard the reply: “Men find many ways to demonstrate the love they have for their family. You work hard to have a peaceful, beautiful place for your friends and family to gather.”
I said: “I thought that money was the root of all evil.”
And the reply was: “No, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Money is a tool; it can be used for good or bad”.
I was starting to feel better, but I still had that one burning question, so I asked it. “Jesus,” I said, “what is the meaning of life? Why am I here?”
He replied: “That is a question many men ask. The answer is in your heart and is different for everyone. I would love to chat with yousome more, señor, but for now, I have to finish your lawn.”

Went Back To The Mirror
(image source: latoro.com)
I went back to looking
in the mirror today
Seeing if something different
to me it would say
Than what it did
just the other day
And the person I saw
had changed in some way
I didn’t find there
the one old and gray
But rather the leprechaun
came out to play
That bit of myself
had not gone to stay
With smirk on my lips
I took pleasure to say
Goodbye to my thoughts
of the other day!

My Free Write Friday post of last Friday was a bit stuck on the outward appearance and my down mood, today when I looked, there was a different, more lighthearted person staring back ~ and I thought I would share that person too 
FWF; Take A Good Long Look At Yourself |
Diamonds and Pearls
The glistening diamonds
from my mind
I’ve left spread out
for others to find
Words are the tools
that I have found
to bring them up
from where they’re ground
My pearls of wisdom
that together I string
are given the world
as my love offering
Written down on paper
for others to look
right into my mind
like an open book
As poet and writer
it’s easy to see
just who I am
and strive to be!

My Years
(image source: dreamworlds.ru)
I sit thinking
of all my years
The joy and pain
shared laughter and tears
The feelings of inadequacy
that spring from my fears
The future hopes and dreams
to which my mind steers
Praying angels walk beside me
when evil to me nears
And as I live on
a path before me clears
That I’ll be an inspiration
to my beloved “little dears”
When they sit thinking back
all through their own years!

Wednesday’s Animal Laughs
There is a monkey who
if a shine to him it brings
he will go and steal it
like my hubcap of all things!
There once was a dog
when you said “Fetch it!”
who replied “Forget all that
I’d just rather catch it!”

What? – Wednesday’s Limerick
(image source: dreamies.de)
WHAAAT? What do you mean?
You better keep it clean!
Did you just really say
that in every kinda way
I’m the weirdest thing you’ve seen?

We Speak To Them
To the;
*Young
*Old
* Alive
*Even Dead
*”Black”, “white”,
*”yellow” or “red”
*A million thoughts
we each convey
*Throughout the hours
of every day
* But was there
a single word
* That by any
was even heard?
