I know I'm an old woman it's plain to see,
But that's not who I am when you're looking at me.
I am that little girl named Rosalee, with long brown hair dangling down my back.
People said I was quite a brat, but I don't think I was really all that.
I am strong-willed it's plain to see.
I know what you're thinking when you're looking at me.
I used to be pretty so I was told, but you'd never know it now that I'm old.
I look in the mirror, and who do I see?
That same child named Rosalee.
Though wrinkles march across my face,
Rosalee, as a child I still embrace.

'A True Friend'
A true friend is one whom you can rely on
when times are hard and you feel like crying.
A true friend will walk through life with you
through laughter, sadness and denial.
A true friend will be truthful without causing
pain, only to be there to help you up once again.
Cherish your friendship for there is a bond that
none can claim.

'Dis-Ease of The Body'
Sitting in Church on Sunday morning we had a
guest Speaker talking about Disease.
He devided the word Disease into two syllables,
calling it Dis-Ease.
He described it as when we are ill, it is because
our Souls are at Dis-Ease with God.
I listened to him and my heart began questioning
his sermon.
How can this be if we are sick, yet close to God;
choosing to pray and live life as God tells us too?
Isn't our Soul just making it's home in an Earthly body
to experience life to teach us lessons of love and to
share our light?
When we pass over our Soul leaves it's body behind
to return to dust and our Soul goes back to whence
it came from.
No one is sick just because they are not right with God,
but simply because our bodies are weak.
Our bodies are just made of flesh and our Soul lives on
and on forever.
Why must we bring ourselves down by blaming Disease
on our selves, when believing in God has nothing to do
with it.
When our time is up, God calls us Home to share in all
his Glory, not because we are at Dis-Ease with him.
God loves us as his Children and does not make our
bodies sick just so that we may go Home to him.
When it is our time, we will pass away due to illness
or an accident; and God is waiting for us with his arms
wide open to receive us.
Never blame your self for being ill, these bodies are
sometimes in poor health, yet our Soul is strong.
So please believe in God and, if he isn't ready for
you to return Home then you will become well again.
Love your self for who you are and, take care of your
self knowing that you did not bring on any illness
because you were not right with God.
When the Sermon was over I questioned the Pastor
about his belief and he said, "It is your choice to believe
how you believe and, it is my choice to believe in my
thoughts of God and Dis-Ease.
I didn't change his mind right then, but I bet when he
sleeps on it and, prays about it then he will see things
my way.
The Bible says, "He who believeth in me shall enter into
the Kingdom of God."
If you are sick and depend on God in prayer; you can rest
assured that he will be there to catch you when you fall.
Trust in his Name and his will shall be done.

'Disaster 9-11'
'Disaster 9-11'
Watching the drama unfold of 911 on the dawn of a beautiful day, my heart filled with sorrow.
Tears flowed for the terror that may await us for tomorrow.
Sadness and horror gripped my heart as I watched in horror the start of a heart-breaking scene, knowing in my heart the terror of those who had been passengers and the occupants at the scene.
Firefighters, policemen and unknown hero's, entered willingly to risk their lives to save those so desperate to escape for their lives.
As we watched and prayed to God, our hearts sank for those who were lost.
The Attack on America shattered our belief, that hatred and War were mere thoughts of what happened to those in the War.
Having seen the horrendous acts of terrorism I must ask myself," Am I my brother's keeper, or his foe?"
Deep in your heart the answer you know.

'Memory of A Child'
MEMORY OF A CHILD
Bring me a child so I can see her face
her eyes so bright and full of grace.
My arms reach out to feel her embrace,
bringing back memories of my daughter so dear,
whom I've out lived for many a year.
My dreams are of her, I can see her face,
the memory of her; age can never erase.
Though I grow feeble and dwindle away,
the light of my life in my heart she will stay.
I see her standing at the foot of my bed,
bathed in a white light shimmering away.
She smiles at me and holds out her hand,
I leave my body engulfed in the light;
such joy I feel I'm in heaven tonight.
I bid you farewell old friends of mine,
I'll see you soon when it is your time.
Such peace I feel, fear death no more.
I'll see you in heaven with no pain,
and hold you in my arms once again.

'Idle Chatter'
'IDLE CHATTER'
As you sit near, you hear me say,
"Did you forget to wash today?'
Dry the dishes and go to bed.
Put out the cat, you better obey!
I mutter and mumble, don't know
What I say.
Please utter a prayer for me today.
You look at me so feeble with age,
You shake your head and don't know
What to say.
Just touch my hand and share your light,
And then I know I'll be all right.
In my mind as I wander away, I long for
Things of yesterday.

'Pearls In The Sand'
Universal thoughts transpire as you look at me not truly knowing how deep our feelings could be, as deep as the pearls in the ocean deep or lying in the sand and the heat.
Emotions of love and passion gamble among the reactions of what your heart shows and our actions to one another as our love grows.
Deep in our soul within and without lies the truth waiting for true love to find it’s way out.
Learning to live with one another’s faults, we wait to see if true love results.
Deep in the ocean there lies a pearl that has the wisdom for your answers to unfurl. The softness and the effervescent glow give way to your answer as you look within.
Our love will grow and shine as the pearl is waiting to be found.
Love is blind, yet you can see; you can feel and know that we are meant to be.
Time is precious and true friendship is hard to find as you look into my eyes and see what lies behind my smile and hopes to begin.
Day’s and nights blend as one, as our love unwinds we become one, your eyes smile at me, and my heart melts with love.
Emotions and reactions all come into play as we find our love grows stronger for one another each day.
Remember the pearl as it weathers the storm lying within its shell, waiting to be found and polished as well.
My love will never weaken with time, I am yours and you are mine.
Holding me close to your heart, I feel safe within and know that our love will never end.
Peace and harmony we have found just as the perfect pearl in the sand.
Touching is the secret of holding love in your hand, as precious as the pearl in the sand.
