Planner

I'm not used of planning everyday,
what happens is what God has planned for me.

Jaymi Swift

I am old and have nothing to pretend.
I have done all my duties, I have confessed all my sins.
Time has taught me to be content.
The distractions of a younger life, I have long ago set aside.
I no longer have the sharp mouth, that often comes with a young life.
But I watch them from my front porch swing.
The youth are busy gathering.
Soon enough, they will feel, the hard and heavy hand of strife.
But for now let them be ignorant, And get on with the business of life.

Dicentras

Full of pink pristine beauty
They look like bleeding hearts
So pretty and so dainty
Their beauty is majestic!
Like a wave of pink
Or like cotton candy clouds
Yet clouds do not bleed
But Dicentras do
Even in the midst of their sorrow
And their cries unheard
They still possess their beauty
Little hearts are bleeding
Little cries are unheard
And there's nobody who cries with them
Except for God on high
There's no shoulder for them to cry on
And nobody to comfort them when they weep
And so their hearts are always bleeding
Bleeding a picture of beauty
And of sadness too
Like a rainbow in the sky
And so quickly passes through

5 Apologies (6 Haikus)

I need to address
five different people that
mean the world to me:*

        Teachers, I'm sorry
        for not listening to your
        wisdom and lessons.

Friends, I am sorry
for condescending remarks
and hypocrisy.

        Family, sorry
        for poor communication
        and cutting you off.

God, I am sorry
for failing to acknowledge
you and all your love.

        Self, I am sorry
        for hurting and neglecting
        you and your beauty.

Lots Of Roses For Her Party (Sonnet)

Lots of roses for her Birthday party
As it was held in the garden outside
Look at the pretty rose stationery
That was used for her invitations wide
Oh look how pretty is her rose party
With lots of pretty roses here and there
Oh look at our Birthday Girl of beauty
Oh let us offer her a pretty chair
Oh look at the waltzing red roses sweet
In the garden of unending love
Oh listen to the patter of our Girl's feet
As Tasha waltzes in the sky above
Oh let me dance with you, my dear Tasha
My Birthday Girl with the name: Natasha

For My Sweetheart. . . Mom!

Always there to comfort me
Always there to whisper,"I love you"
Always there to be my Mom sweet and happy
Always there to cheer me up when I feel blue
Always there to be my twin sister
Always there to be my sweetheart
Never could there be a Mom lovelier. . . no never!
Always there to be my sweet sweetheart
Always there to be my pretty pink china rose
A heart of red love so pure....And she's my rose
She is always my Mom and sister that I dearly love
And God gave her to me from above
I love you so much, Mom dear
And you're always there to wipe away my tears
You are so very, very sweet
Thousands of times sweeter than the birds that tweet!

**~Marian~

Love you always, Mom!!! You are my Dearest Mom and sister!!!! ~<3

Evening Song

Dark blue is the Eastern sky
The birds are flying home with their cheery cry
The whipering pines are dancing in the breeze
And the wind is rustling the green leaves
There is a faint sunset in the west
And all the birds are gong home to rest
Dusk shall so soon fade to Night
That's when this poetess dances with delight
With all the Fairies that gather under the Moon
And when sweet breezes blow into my room
The Fairies dance upon the moss-covered stepping stones
While all the birds are sleeping in their homes
I love the songs that the sweet Fairies sing
And all through the Night sky their music rings
They sing of nature and of God
Who made the earth and the warm sod
They sing happily as they weave on their magical loom
And spinkle sweet dreams in my bedroom*

Nonet 2

Thanking God you feel better today
praying thy happiness endures
May you trust Him for healing
Find refuge in His wings
shelter from life's blasts
and evil winds
Eternal
trusting
Him

**~Hilda~

To my Husband Timothy in hopes he will continue trusting God for healing.

Psalm 67

1 God be merciful unto us and bless us; and cause thy face to shine upon us; Selah.
2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy; for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

My Personal Testimony (Not a Poem)

For sometime Jesus convicted me to write this so everyone here can see it. I have felt miserable keeping it inside because Jesus says if we confess Him before men He will confess us before His Father in heaven.

To anyone here on HP I want to say this: if you are miserable with your life and come to Jesus for forgiveness of your sins He will cleanse you and give you eternal life in heaven. "For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16. He loved you and me enough to die for us on the cross so we could live with Him forever if we accept Him and repent of our sins. We have to confess and forsake
our sinful lifestyle.

I cannot help but write this so strong has been my conviction! If I have been a stumbling block to anyone here please forgive me! If unknowingly I have pressed a like button for some poem or write up that uses foul language please forgive me! I wish to do better with Jesus' help! Jesus says that by our words we shall be justified or condemned. Every tree is known by its fruits.

If you wish to know more about Jesus please feel free to comment below and I will be glad to help you!!! Or you can always send me a message and I will get back with you as soon as I possibly can. Though I stay very busy as a housewife and mother (my husband and daughter also here on HP- Timothy and Marian) I am open to comments. Again please forgive me if I have caused anyone here to be offended.
I cannot remain here without letting my light shine. Jesus is the Light of the world and whoever believes in Him and repents no longer walks in the darkness of this wicked world. Their speech will be for His glory! Their actions will please Him. They will come out from the wickedness of this world and live separate and holy lives for Jesus.

So again—please forgive me if I have failed in showing Jesus by my life or actions.

Jesus I My Cross Have Taken

Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Naked, poor, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my all shalt be.
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought or hoped or known;
Yet how rich is my condition!
God and heav'n are still my own.

Let the world despise and leave me,
They have left my Saviour too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not like them untrue;
And while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate and friends may shun me;

Show Thy face and all is bright.
Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me;
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
Oh, tis not in grief to harm me,
While Thy love is left to me;
Oh,'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.

*~Henry Francis Lyte 1793--1847~
