I spent my life
trying to please my family

It didn't work

I spent my life trying to
Please others


I spent my life......
Be yourself

{Good Friday special} ❤

with the rain pouring down, i come
in a white dress stained with sin and shame
with the rain falling down, i bow
at the foot of the cross, at the sound of His name

on the tree of suffering and shame
He took that place where i should have lain
cried out in unrelenting love
from Calvary's cross to the skies up above

with the rain pouring down, He saw
tempations, trials, but through it all
was an unmatched love for us who thirst
i now learn to love, for He loved me first

with the rain pouring down, i look up
at crimson promises bought with His blood
as i dance to the shower of a King who reigns
i sing, i smile, for i am washed white again

-c.t.
Blessed beyond belief. ❤

The sweetest words you'll ever hear
"I love you Nanny"

One has to speak their language - Cats
a snotty, snooty breed
Don't try to tell them what to do
Don't get them down when they are treed

They'll come down when they want to
when they hear the opening whirr
where can opener meets cat food
they'll walk out of that tree as if it wasn't there
and swish their tail as if to say
"it's nothing"

But, Oh, the softest love they have
when on your lap they softly purr
or stroking all that silky fur
and all the stress of passing days
so soon becomes a milky haze
and flys away, forgotten now
She loves you dear, there is no doubt
Adopt a pet today... there are so many, so many who need a home and love. they were put here for us to take care of

Gentle ballerina dance
dance your way around the world
with bold precision dance
with graceful arms unfurled

Tip toe to the passion of the tune
whirling, leaping maelstrom of romance

existential exercise of poetry unwritten
fluttering, a butterfly of souls unduly smitten
with love of life and dignity stirred all up into one
resounding splash of destiny
the last breath of a swan
for my world traveled, ballerina friend Marilyn on her birthday.
