Believe

 

I believe in miracles

I believe they come true

Like when the angels of the heavens

Guided me to you

I believe in spirit

Upon their astral cloud

I believe that things I've done

Have often made then proud

I believe that dreams come true

When you make a wish so sweet

I believe that when times are bad

We all deserve a treat

I believe there's more to life

Than being born and growing old

I believe there is something out there

Waiting to unfold

I believe in my children

Whom I love with all my heart

I believe that no matter where we are

We are never far apart.

Spirit Garden

 

I think life is what you make of it

Mine is a garden so rare

I have taken great time and effort

Lavished it with care

At times it's been dark n dreary

So overgrown it's almost choked

But I have weeded right through it

Determined, full of hope

In time my spirit garden

Will show how hard I've worked

It will boast the flowers of gladness

With no weeds in the undergrowth.

Life's Journey

 

Life is the ocean

on which we all float

our soul is the vessel

that is the boat.

In the storms we are tossed

as the waves crash and roll

then on to calm waters

where the current is slow.

Rising and dipping

mimicking life's ups and downs

beating the waves

that can surely drown.

At the end of the day

when the sun descends

we go down in our ships

and to heaven ascend.

Heavenly Gifts

 

Wrapped in the arms of an angel

Whose wings give comfort and strength

A source of pure love and protection

From heaven divinely sent.
