Inside Princess mind
This is Princess
One late afternoon, she stood silent on the hard hot pavement.
tired … lost and uncertain where her next step will be.
A tag on her neck showed how far she was from home.
Was that a tear on her eyes ?
No soft whimper or growl escaped her dry mouth.
Only the palpable fear of unknown on her quivering flesh.
I took her home and
wondered what was Inside Princess mind as she looked outside.
Late at night, she was picked up by the local county animal care.
A week later, Princess reunited with her owner.
Today . . . this image of Princess bring back memories … and
I often wonder what was inside Princess mind then.

Like a feather
Gently,
Be the same as nature’s rhythms,
serenely drifting on
waves of energy.
The many songs of life
can always be like the path of a feather
in harmony and
light as the wind.

On your journey,
Take risks outside the comfort zone
and seek opportunities with a passion
The Beacon is the guide to a place of security.
Nurture spirit,
bask in the sun,
Be the light on how to aim for the stars.

“When penguins flap their wings or bow their heads,
they’re telling each other how they feel.
Throwing their heads back and wings out means “I’m happy.”
Leaning forward and opening their beaks means “Go away.”

“Actually, the streets are quite safe today, it’s the people on them who aren’t.” ~ unknown
Every day I hear the birds chirping
Every day I hear the birds chirping
Like small blue bits in dreams
But what is it I’m hearing?
Wonderingly, I placed my nose
through the glass window
and I see joy today.
The light guide is true.
Summery shadow lives,
The landscapes frolic.

The Old Mission Road
The Old Mission Road
By the shade of a sad willow tree
the road lead to old land.
The markings of hardships remained
and echoed the joy of triumphs.
As the padre walked the streets of kindness
the church blesses the road.
His silent footsteps reaching out
to touch the ways of the old.

Dearest child of mine
Dearest child of mine
I have this little angel who left her wings to be with me.
Her smiles brighten my days.
Tiny hand in mine, I saw rainbows through the rain
It is the soft voice of sacred trust.
Of all the sweet little things she shared
It’s her childish scribbles on the ground,
I ♥ Mom ~ Dad,
So precious, I am moved.
Dearest child of mine
You are my little angel who left her wings to be with me.
