My you have a wonderful 2023

The Refugee’s Poem

I’ll never go the east way
For me there’s only west
But some may like the north way
To this I must protest
The south may have some favour
On this I will agree
But I am of the west way
Towards a world that free
I’ll travel any journey
For I know that I will find
A land that’s full of freedom
That God himself designed
Were food will be a plenty
As much as I can eat
And every day on waking
My life will be complete.

The Olive Grove

When the baby gave its first breath

They planted out a tree

And season after season

It gave its fruits for free

Each summer it grew stronger

And bathed the child in shade

As there beneath its canopy

The little one did play

But as the child got older

More often did he roam

Leaving his safe haven

To venture out alone

Then in his year of manhood

He at last returned

Within his arms a beauty

His love with him to share

They wed beneath his own tree

Without a single care

And kissed and hugged so gently

In the beauty that was there

And very soon there after

Another child was made

And when it took its first breath

Another tree was laid

That’s why we have an olive grove

For all the world to see

A testament to loving

That starts beneath a tree

The Peace Angel

I’m looking for some quiet

She said with just her smile

Seeking out a haven

To rest my wings a while

The light that she transmitted

Just took my breath away

And with a gentle flutter

She settled down to stay

I could not help but wonder

Just why she chose this place

A silent little corner

Where all my dreams I chase

She seemed to be contented

With all the things in view

Although no words were spoken

At least none of which I knew

The breeze that gathered around her

Made her feathers float

As if immersed in water

That left a loving coat

I whispered a simple thank you

That made her smile once more

As the vibrations from her being

Danced within my core

Alas to soon she left me

Here within this space

With just the vaguest memory

As to what had taken place.

Thought to Ponder.- Love is the master key that opens the gate to happiness.

Happiness is the art of never holding in your mind,

The memory of any unpleasant thing that has passed. Buddha
