Little Indian Wish

I wish I were a star

Shining so bright

Hiding in the blue clouds

I would play all night

I wish I were a flower

Happy and gay

When the wind would blow

I would gently sway

I wish I were a fish

Living in the deep

In the fresh water

I would jump and leap

But still I am happy

There is a reason to be

I am the only one around

And no one can be me

I'm An Angel Now

One night I cried to Jesus as I sat beneath the trees.

I looked into the open sky and hoped He'd answer me.

I'm lost dear Lord. I've traveled far but still I seam to roam.

Please light the way and lead me, Lord. I need to get back home.

I told him of my burdens and of the sadness in my heart-

That from His gracious love I'd never felt so far apart.

Why did you take my child, Lord? I cannot understand!

No longer can I touch her face or hold her tiny hand.

I'm angry, Lord. I'm missing her. I'm drowning in my sorrow.

Please help to heal my yesterdays and face each new tomorrow.

It was then I heard her gentle voice and I felt her presence near.

How I wanted so to hold her as I cried another tear.

She said, "Mommy, "I 'm an angel now, my spirit will be free.

I'm an angel now in heaven, so please don't cry for me.

I was chosen by our Lord above and now I'm in his care.

When you need me, look inside your heart. I promise to be there.

No one can ever take away our bond with one another

For I'll always be your precious child, as you will be my mother.

So if you cannot find your way or the road to home seems so far,

Just look up into the Heavens and I'll be you guiding star."

She said, "Mommy, I'm an angel now, my spirit will be free.

I'm an angel now in Heaven, no need to cry for me."

The Wizard and the Fairies

The wizard looks like a kind old man

But as we watched and stared

We soon realized his wand was not to be shared

He waved it two and fro and right before our eyes

A Magic cloud of smoke appeared he wore as a disguise

Soon things were disappearing he seemed to be so wise

I felt my body twitter as we flew around the skies

He laughed and smiled with one eyebrow raised

We played and flew around him not even fazed

As long as we kept him smiling we were truly unafraid

But we watched his wand oh so carefully

So we would not be touched and grazed

For all it would take is one big “Poof”

And fairy dust could easily be made

Power & Magic

So you say she's just a horse....
You don't understand what
Stands before you

You have not wisdom
You have not trust

She is honor
She is freedom
She belongs to only her
She is Magic
She is Power

Stronger than the wind
More precious than gems
No mere mortal should dare touch her
For she is divine

One with the mountains
One with the ocean
The forest is her sanctuary

It is there she finds refuge
You can see her true form
With faith alone believe with your heart
Only there does the Unicorn live

Mermaid Dreams

I want to hold tomorrow,

To know that it will be,

That everything I've dreamed of,

Is waiting there for me.

I want to know you love me,

And by me you will stand,

Pulling me closer,

Holding tight my hand.

I want to know you hear this,

To know that, I love you,

It's not just a thing I say,

But in everything I do.

I want to know you feel me,

Because I feel you,

Loves pulling on my heartstrings,

It's music’s pure and true.

I love you in the morning,

I love you still at noon.

I love you in the evening,

And under the bright moon.

Even in the twilight,

When the sun slips out of sight,

My love for you has starry eyes,

That guides my love through night.

And when the moonbeams kiss you,

Dancing on your face,

Remember that tomorrows dreams,

Are not an endless chase.

A Haunted Love

Faceless ghosts that dance within

Outsider’s eyes that seek out the sin

A poison I can’t help but see

It’s in this corner they yearn to be

Honest answers in my design

But I am speaking to your lies

I pray for something to help me feel

This broken place: the last thing that’s real

So much sorrow and distaste

To look ahead at yesterday

A spiral promise that drags me on

Another pain freezes the sun

Hidden darkness shines within

The light I need becomes nothing

Where everything I loved at last

Becomes forgotten; turned to ash

A vagrant hope leaks from my heart

Placed over demons in the dark

Another ghost that seeks to end

The place within that I must defend

Written by loved wolf

Mom & Me

Mom and Me we are such a pair

She cuddles me and cleans me everywhere

She’s strong and proud and keeps me safe

I follow her around from place to place

Sometimes I’m naughty and tug and bite

She grabs me by my neck in flight

I know she loves me oh so much

I can feel it in her gentle touch

I feel safe and totally secure

Cause she’s my mom and that’s for sure

Sometimes I feel so immature

But Mom is always there to reassure

That I will make it through life’s tour

New Friends

I’m in the barn with sister Lu

We like to romp and play

We find lots of things to do

And sometimes trouble finds its way

As we roll and tumble and roughly sway

A vision of mysterious shapes come our way

New friends that might want to play

I’m not sure what these are upon the hay

They seem so small but I wish they would stay

We stared for quite awhile as they strolled by

But what really caught my eye was a sound I never heard

A bark that seemed to be slurred

As we chased them to and fro

A flurry and chatter they bestowed

Our new friends seemed to be nervous

And but for a moment slowed

So Me and Lu with nothing else to do

Watched as they scurried down their path

In wonder if they would soon come back

Itsy Bitsy Pet Portrait

This is a painting I did after my eye surgery. I guess I just wanted to make sure I could continue to do what makes me happy. This is a my son's girlfriends cat that I did for her as a Christmas present.

You're lovable, playful,intelligent, bright.

Sleepy by day and active by night.

Gracefully beautiful,impeccably groomed,

no need for fine feathers,expensive perfumes.

Sultry, provocative,seductive and more.

You're the one my heart will always adore.

When the day has been bad and life feels flat,

I return hometo my darling cat.
