A Good Candidate Is Hard to Find – NY Times Headline
A good candidate
is hard to find
By New York Times
was today headlined
Which has been found
by me as true
Who’s saying America,
God bless you?
Everyone that reads me
knows just I feel
How God from the Country
some are trying to steal
And although there’s many
who do not agree
This blog right here
belongs only to me
So you will find
it’s my point of view
Dictating what I say
and think or do
And though there are none
in the debates I see
That have all that much
made an impression on me
The votes that are counted
with the coming election day
Will choose the right one
is what I hope and pray!

In A Tree
You ever wished that you could be
living way up there in a tree?
To just reach out and touch the sky
as the clouds go rolling by?
Bathe in colors of a rainbow
dancing through as they ebb and flow?
Awe in an eagle’s majesty
with grandeur of true royalty
Witness to the glorious sight
of magnificence taking flight?
To be a part of each new dawn
imagination it goes beyond
Oh how I wish that I could be
living way up there in a tree!

You Give Us
Oh Mother of Earth
on you we rely
Who cares for us
though you we try
When you break down
in rage we cry
Yet because of us
you live or die
–
Each year in Spring
is new life born
And with vibrant colors
the earth you adorn
When new green foliage
by trees are worn
It’s not the Winter
for which we mourn
–
Oh Mother, oh Mother
of Earth in all
The Winter, the Spring
the Summer and Fall
You care for us
both great and small
The return be done
by us one and all!

Poetry Picnic Week 22: Spring, Colors, Trees, and New Lives
Fairytale Wishes
Cotton candy and fairytale wishes
Dreams of learning to fly
Popcorn and ice cream dishes
As clouds go floating by

Dancing fairies and butterflies
In little girls’ imaginations
All the fantasies they devise
Have no need of explanations
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
Pixies, imps and elves
Are born for kids to see
From books taken off shelves
Coming to life in their fantasy
*
*
*
*
When my mother would say
What us kids should do
Was just go on and play
My books I would run to
*
*
*
*
*
*
And read of maidens defenseless
That into the imagination tapped
As the poor waiting princess
Was alone in a tower trapped
*
*
*
*
*
Yes magical worlds and fairy tales
To each and every child gives
A place where nothing ever stales
and the wildest fantasy lives!

The Longing
How I long for you
in the quiet of night
For you strong arms to
hold me ever so tight
In my longing I do
ache for just the sight
Of you coming home to
me with the morning light
And the aching overwhelms me
as the time goes by
Your face to really see
not just in mind’s eye
All I want to be
what is my heart’s cry
Is to love you endlessly
until the day I die!
Teresa Marie 10/16/11
For my hardworking husband, Mark. I love you!

Poetry Picnic Week 9 : Longing, Loss, Loosing and Failure
It’s In The Silence
It’s in the silence
your eyes have said
Over a thousand words
from when we wed
No need for talking
when we are alone
Deep love for me
your face has shown
This is true friendship
that’s grounded and sincere
There’s no waiting for
any words to hear
The language of love
is spoken in silence
A friend reads volumes
contained in a glance
And I know Darling
you’re my loving friend
Who’ll be with me
until the very end!

Sees The First Tear
A good friend’s who
sees the first tear
And to their heart
you’re the most dear
They catch the second
falling from your eye
For on their compassion
you always can rely
While the third tear
they do then stop
That you don’t cry
even one more drop
My darling you’re who
does this for me
You’re the best friend
that anyone could be
And for this alone
I’d forever love you
But there’s so much more
than just this you do!
