Mired Down In Strife
*image source: photobucket.com
In the pain of life
when mired down with strife
The strength we may find
is not that of mind
But a Spiritual one rather
given us by the Father
If to Him we pray
“help me through this day”
He is ever faithful to
lend His strength to you
and faith in Him renew!

In Solitude – Short Story Slam Week 19
It is in solitude
I come here to pray
“Lord, give me the fortitude
to hold on another day!”
From Him I beg for
the strength to carry on
When the one I did adore
from my life is gone
Everything to him I gave
but he ‘s left me behind
And now only God can save
what is left of my mind
When it’s our love we give
and they throw it away
Often lost is will to live
steeped in the pain of they
“So, dear Lord, give it back
that I might clearly see
‘Twas not because of my lack
that they have now left me
Give me one who loves me more
with passion’s fire like the sun
On the road ahead before
my life is said and done!”

For all of my suffering friends,
you know who you are,
and I love you each and every one!

Rainy Days – Short Story Slam Week 18
Image Credit: http://chance-of-sunshine.blogspot.com/2011/09/umbrella-season.html
On those umbrella rainy days
my good mood with me stays
If I just close my eyes
and there a fantasy I devise
When my umbrella sprouts some wings
as I fly above all things
Up there in the sky floating
while the ground rain is soaking
I drop flowers from the air
a little sunshine just to share
And up there all the while
on my face a great big smile!

A Spot Of Tea
Image Credit: Chance of Sunshine: Cinderella On Her Tea Break
Cinderella took a break
to have a spot of tea
to have a spot of tea
When a little birdie spake
as normal as can be
as normal as can be
“I was just flying along
and spotted you down here
and spotted you down here
Could you sing me a song
if you’d be so dear?”
if you’d be so dear?”
Which came as quite a shock
to Cinderella at the time
to Cinderella at the time
No that the bird did talk
but instead how he did rhyme
but instead how he did rhyme
“I don’t want to seem dense
or anything of the such
or anything of the such
Yet it doesn’t make any sense
to me all that much
to me all that much
Why would a song bird
want for me to sing
want for me to sing
When a melody should be heard
in the tune you’re warbling?”
in the tune you’re warbling?”
“Alas because I have no choice
for there’s a problem you see
for there’s a problem you see
I recently have lost my voice
and no warble’s left in me!”
and no warble’s left in me!”
As the birdie began to cry
Cinderella’s heart was broken
Cinderella’s heart was broken
She said she’d give a try
then realized that he had spoken
then realized that he had spoken
“Now just wait one minute,
what’s this game you play?
what’s this game you play?
If you’ve no voice in it
how did those words you say?”
how did those words you say?”
Birdie then hung his head
and shook it to and fro
and shook it to and fro
“Well the truth is,” he said,
“you won’t believe me I know!
“you won’t believe me I know!
But a wicked old witch has
cast a spell on me
cast a spell on me
And so a bonnie lass
must sing to set me free!”
must sing to set me free!”
“Oh you silly little thing
why didn’t you just say so
why didn’t you just say so
Of course for you I’ll sing
and back to yourself you’ll go!”
and back to yourself you’ll go!”
As Cinderella sang strong and clear
birdie became a prince no less
birdie became a prince no less
Who then said, “Marry me dear!”
now Cinderella is his princess!
now Cinderella is his princess!

Rain, Rain, Go Away
Rain, rain, go away
I wanna enjoy my day
It has rained for so long
feel like a duck quacking along
I’m ready for the sun’s glow
and the beauty of a rainbow
It has been so very dreary
my sinus’ run, eyes are bleary
Wish the rain turned to snow
watching it glisten from sun’s glow
My mood is like the rain
that pours down on my windowpane
Why downcast oh my soul?
Should be happy on a whole
Since the pattering does go on
my good spirits haven’t all gone
So rain, rain go away
won’t let you ruin another day!
