William Blake

Tyger Tyger. burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye.
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat.
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp.
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile His work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

My Deepest Sympathies

I Wish That I Could Heal Your Pain
Bring You A Bouquet Of Magenta Flowers
White Pastel Jasmine Blooms
With Petals Soft And Sweet
Daffodils And Buttercups
To Try And Add Some Sunshine
To Your Little World Of Grey And Black
My Sympathies As Fresh As Dawn Sky
Wounds Now Freshly Made
A Scarred Heart And Tearful Eyes
I Want To More Than Anything
Be A Comfort To You...Your Strong
Supportive Shoulder For The Tears That
Threaten To Fall From Worried Eyes
My Dearest Mom, If Only....If Only
There Was Something I Could Say...
Something I Could Do...Just To Make You Feel
A Wee Bit Better Than You Do Now
But I Am A Helpless Creature...
And All I Can Do At The Moment
Is Send You My Deepest Sympathies

*~Marian~

:( </3
I Had A Conversation In Person With My Mom
And She Said That My Aunt Joy Doesn't Look Conscious...
She Doesn't Know Whether Joy May Pass Away Today Or Not...
I Wish There Was Something I Could Do To Make My Mom Feel Better
But I Feel So Ashamedly Helpless...And I Well, Kind Of Blame
Myself For Feeling That Way...I Am At A Loss As To Know
What To Do...
Please, Each Of You Who Read This Poem
Keep Us In Your Thoughts And Prayers!!!
And To Each Of You That Has At Least
One Time In Your Life Experienced The Loss
Of A Loved One Or Family Member
I Give You Too My Deepest Condolences!!!
Hugs To Each Of You,
Marian

CA Guilfoyle

the night garden

In the night garden, star flowers linger
long before dawn, before the sun
vines climb, with ivory flowers hung
bringing light, where the moon glows pale
flowered jasmine is sweet beneath the air of fire
with lanterns lit in floral scents
glowing through diaphanous petals
here, where the earth shines like heaven
and blooms not unlike the stars.

Pain

Pain…pain is all she can feel
Pain…pain is breaking her heart
All she can think about doing
Is palliating the pain that stings her body
She wants to numb herself
She wants to escape reality
All she wants is to be left alone
She cries bitter, brokenhearted tears
Will the pain that laces the fragments
Of her beautiful heart ever leave?
Will she ever heal?
Will she ever mend?
Her wings are broken
Their butterfly dust drifts away on the wind
At night she tries to whisper
Words of comfort to herself
But her little world is crashing…by and by
Or so it seems to her
She sobs, and she cries
Tears no one can console
She wishes to ease the pain
More than anything else
But every time she tries
She slips up and hurts herself
And the wounds cut even deeper
This is one wound she may bare
A whole lifetime

*~ Marian ~

Dedicated to my Mom, who is undergoing the pain of watching her frail sister, Joy slowly die…or at least that is what we think may happen, all too sadly. I thought I might write some kind of poem to try and comfort/console my Mom if I possibly can! Sweet Mom, I hope you enjoy it. <3 Sorry for the pain you’re going through. While I cannot relate, as I have no siblings, I can sense your pain and feel it reverberate in my own heart as well…seeing the way you cried today, made me wanna cry with you. You poor girl, I feel so sorry for you…I truly, truly sincerely do, Mommy. Feel better soon. *Hugs & Kisses to Mom*

10 People Who Have It Worse Than Me

(And Reasons Why I Have It Pretty Good)*

2. Starving people in Africa who have nothing that even resembles a stable govermnent to keep them safe and fed and alive.

3. Couples going through divorce or recovering from divorce, and their poor children. =\

4. Drug addicts living on the streets without a family or a hope.

5. Women and children caught up in human trafficking and slavery who have no one to save them.

6. Would-be-mothers who cannot have children. This is heartbreaking for many women.

7. Children abused by their own parents who then have to go through foster care and withstand the constant reminder that they do not have parents that love and care for them.

8. People who have no hope and who believe a bottle of pills is the only way to take away their pain. Life is never a curse, and it is not one's responsibility to take when it becomes unbearable.

9. Fathers who can't find a job in our economy and who feel like a failure because they can't support their family's needs.

10. People who sit in a church and believe they are being good enough to go to heaven, when they've never heard the true gospel spoken to them before.

1. And most importantly...the great number of individuals who have not heard and those who have rejected the Good News of Jesus Christ. It's nothing that I have done that makes me any different than them, but only the grace of God that I took hold of. I won't stand by while my fellow man lives on less than I do every day. I am blessed with food, a better government than many in this world, and parents who love each other and the Lord. I have a life of hope that sustains me better than drugs, a life worth living, and the financial support that only God could supply. And I have a church that preaches the gospel each Sunday and reminds me of how much I need Him.

Lord, never let me forget Your many blessings. Self-pity, worry, and depression keep me from my true potential as Your daughter and servant. Show me how to share my blessings with others, so that I can spread Your Word to everyone I meet.
Amen.
