Happy Birthday to a poetess,
Whose name is Emma S,
Hope your day is beautiful;
Your poetry is wonderful!

Hope your wish comes true,
Happy Birthday from me to you,
Hope your day shines like gold;
With colours bright and bold.

Now eat some cake and ice-cream,
Tonight have the best of dreams,
So we just want to say;
"Emma S, Happy Birthday!"*

The palm trees dance and sway in the soft sea breeze,
Which stirrs the lacy green leaves,
Tropical sunsets and sunrises;
Island full of beauty and surprises!

Sandy seashells and dew kissed flowers,
How I wish I could stay here for hours,
Lost in the secret veil of time;
Composing poems about the ocean with or without a rhyme.

*~Marian~

You never know how you shed cheer
Into my life through all the year,
I love your poems, those hymns you play;
None save you can brighten each day.

Life without you would be such pain
I should never write poems again,
You will ne'er know my love for you
Until after this life is through.

You cuddle cats within your arms,
And make us happy with  your charms,
I'm so happy God gave me you!
You cheer me up when I feel blue.

You'll never guess, Daddy dear
How oft you've vanguished every fear;
Brightened my days with divine Love
For you I thank my God above!

Marian and Hilda

I love the Winter's beauty the snow on the ground and the frozen creek,
In Spring and Summer I treasure it and in Winter it I seek,
The snow covered boughs hang to the snow-covered ground;
Silently the snow falls without a sound.

The mountain behind the trees is snow-covered too,
The sky is a reflected white instead of royal blue,
Numerous trees are covered in ice and snow,
Their branches are so heavy with snow and ice they hang low.

It is so beautiful I begin to cry,
Out of my mouth I heave a crying sigh,
The trees in Spring and Summer have a little peep,
Before they go again to sleep in snow wherefore they call it the Ancients Sleep.

If there were more smiles in the world
There wouldn't be so many tears

Dead Blooms Of Yesterday's Wisteria

Psalm 150**

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise
God in his sanctuary: praise
him in the firmament of his
power.

2 Praise him for his mighty
acts: praise him according to his
excellent greatness.

3 Praise him with the sound of
the trumpet: praise him with the
psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel
and dance: praise him with
stringed instruments and organs.

5 Praise him upon the loud
cymbals: praise him upon the
high sounding cymbals.

6 Let every thing that hath
breath praise the Lord. Praise ye
the Lord.

The path of healing is there for us all
It is there for even the most saddest of souls
With God walking by your side
There is nothing to fear
On the path of healing
Iris scented breezes
Waft through this forest path
The sunshine in calm rays
Dews sparkle on tender grasses
And rain has washed delicate leaves
Ferns delicately dance in the cool breezes
That blow through the warm air
The path of healing is very beautiful and comforting
Even through the hardest and saddest of times
When your heart is raw and needs healing
With God leading the way, right by your side
Don't you know, my precious one, that there is nothing to fear?
I am here too, I am God's humble servant
He is my Best Friend and Comforter
And He is yours too, if you allow Him to be, dear one
The path of healing is so beautiful
With green mosses and tulips
Kissed by a mist of dew
Tall, tall trees are growing
On either side of the path of healing
Everything is so peaceful, calm, and tranquil
But it is God's Presence along by your side
That causes your sweet and gentle heart to heal
Maybe you will comfort in my words hear, dear child
If so, then, my precious one,
Don't thank me, thank God
For He is ever knocking
On your beautiful, broken heart
And if you will allow Him
He will enter and softly heal your heart
And that is what the path of healing is all about
Not just ferns washed in dazzling spray
It is the One who created those ferns
He is the path of healing
For if you will allow Him to enter
He will heal even the most broken of hearts
And I know if you ask Him to save you
And truly wish to be His Child
Then, my sweet one, He will heal your heart
And that is how healing begins
Only through God
For He is our path of healing

Sunrise beautiful,
You always light up the sky,
I love to see you!

~Marian~

Green light fills the air,
Birds are flying without a care,
Palm trees are growing;
And through the air a soft breeze is blowing.
Sunrays slant across the waterfall,
Palm trees are standing tall,
Little becks of water flow off to the side;
Of the waterfall beautiful and wide.
A fallen tree bends over the water,
A bird of white flies over the water,
A dolphin jumps up from pool;
The tropical breezes did my face cool.
Beautiful flowers and plants grow beside the beautiful waterfalls,
And thick hunter moss grows around the waterfall,
Other dolphins and fishes swim under the water beautifully;
This is such a beautiful place to see.
Some beautiful plants and flowers grow under the water,
Beautiful mists shine across the waters,
The sweet breezes did my face cool;
At this beautiful place called Enchanted Pool.

*~Marian~

I feel your heartbreak, my dear
I want to help you but I feel helpless
and do not know how to help you
I want to wipe your tears away and give you a reason to smile
but I do not know how
please know that I love you and always will
I feel worthless for all I can do is speak encouragement to you

But I'll see to it that you'll never cry again for I am getting your
sweet cuddly kittens back and pretty soon they'll be sitting on your lap
softly purring--happy to see you back--that'll make you happy for their
departure is what made you sad but you won't be for long
I'll see to it be happy because you won't be sad for much longer

you won't be sad for much longer
