This is the day of the

Eclipse. Most of the country

Won’t be able to see it

In-person because of

Weather connections

Television should make

The visual available to

Many. Years will pass

Before another comes

Along. The Mysteries

Of nature are immense

And even great minds

Cannot understand how

The heavens work. The

Planets and stars move

In a predictable manner.

\we have the seasons

Because of the way the

Earth tilts. It is warmer and

Then colder. This affects many

Things including growth

And climate. The elites make

Millions of dollars with

Their claims of harmful

Climate change.it is just

Nature and has forever

Been changing. Be at peace.

A SILVER DOLLAR

Walking down the road

I had my collar turned up

It was cold, a nasty cold.

Hy head faced the gutter

And to my surprise, I spotted

A silver dollar just lying there

I picked it up and put it in my

Pocket. I didn’t wear that coat

Again, until recently and the

Silver dollar was still there

In the pocket. I have not told

This story until just now.

Taking the steps in dreamland

Everything is possible, but you

Must take the first step followed

By many more. You can seel

Conventions or sports events

And be welcomed wherever

You go. You will ride clouds

Like an everyday event, find

Snow in the summertime and

Ride horses over mountains,

Jumping wide spans between

Cliffs and landing amongst

A group of men and women

Listening to a man who most

Likely is Jesus. He is telling

In a leisurely manner, what must

Be done to gain a place in

Heaven. I am not bewildered

But feel at ease and calm.

I meet many people, and they

Are happy to know all about me

Especially the fact that I am

A human angel. We make plans

For the next gathering and then

They provide food and water

For my horse. I return home

In my dream. It has been a

Wonderful night.

We wait, and when it comes

Spring is just like winter, so

We wait, and it will not be in

Vain. Soon, the wind will play

Soft music blowing through

New buds on the trees and

The birds will sing out their

Songs, while the waves will

Refresh the shore. we will

Have a list of things to do,

Which is a carryover from

Last fall. We will wish we

Had done them when we

Had made the weak plans,

But for now, this is the

Right time. My lovely

Daughter is the horse, and

I can only praise her until

I heal and then join her

In accomplishing all the

Things we have been planning.

It will be fun working with

Nature while listening to

The music of spring and summer.

We are fortunate to have the

opportunity to work with each other

Spacious skies with some sunlight

Gave a resurrection effect. We could

And would reflect on the events of

The last three days. It is difficult

To digest the age of the universe

And then realize it was only

Two thousand years ago, that

Jesus was with us in person,

Teaching us His ways and

Encouraging us to follow Him

With our actions and not

Just being a fan with nothing

But words of good intentions.

Jesus did not shortchange us

And there is no way we can

Ignore His plans for us. He is

Our shepherd and loves each of us

In a way that we cannot fathom.

The beauty of nature is at a peak

Today, as we celebrate the

Resurrection of Jesus. His beautiful act

Will never be surpassed. We can only

Give thanks for His wondrous deed.

He obeyed the Father and fulfilled

The prophecies. We are the ones

Who benefit from His sacrifice.

We seem to be unable to stop

Sinning and turning our back on

Our Savior. Now is the time to

Start anew. He is beside us and

Wants us to do well. He is our shepherd

And will watch over us as we try to

Imitate Him. The Holy Spirit within us

Is also a guide down this daunting path.

It is time to start walking, following

His footsteps.

So many times, you felt

The pressure of Good Friday

Lifted and now must just

Wait for Easter Sunday.

It is an emotional time

Like before and after a

Spanking. Everything now

Feels alright as we wait

For the clock to go around

One more time so we can

Celebrate the Resurrection

Of Jesus. This is truly a miracle

Which is difficult to digest.

All of the prophies become

Valid, and the man mistaken

For a gardener walks with

The two Mary’s to greet some

Of the apostles. It will be a

Great day.

One wonders about spirituality, not

Found in the world today. It seems

With some exceptions, our focus

Is not the death of Jesus, offered

For our sins and redemption. We

Forget the terrible week He endured

Suffering excruciating pain, to which

He could not say no, stop. He was

Crowned, scourged, beat, and

Mocked and finally crucified and

Died. He did this for us at the

Instruction of the Father. We have

Drifted away from the awesomeness

Of these events, and seem more

Focused on bonnets, parades, eggs,

And candy. New clothes and shoes

Are part of the ritual, and we tend

To forget about those who are doing

Without. There is hunger and thirst 

In many parts of the world. Terrorists

Are killing citizens and each other.

Crime is running rampant everywhere

But especially in the big, blue cities.

Leaders who exist are not listened to.

We will collectively pay for our insolence.

Time for us to wake up with thanks.

I guess I’m crazy

For wishing for spring

There is no sense in crying

Waiting for birds to sing

I’m waiting for flowers

For blossoms in the trees

All we are getting is snow

Winter can be such a tease

Gray skies lurking above

Not even a trace of blue

The only thing close is me

That is because I’m blue

I have lost my faith in

Predictability. I have lost my

Faith in a pledge. Disappointment

And broken words have

Dismayed me, even though

Expectations were never that high.

We learn as we get older

To be true to your word

To take another path would

Be truly absurd. The one

You hurt is yourself. That

Would be a fool’s mission.

Forgive and move on and

Stay safe in being you.

COLD WINDS

Birds fly through the gusty wind

They are strong-willed and

Do not give up. We could

Learn from their example.

The waves in this wind are

Three and four feet tall.

It is an exciting change from

The slow, barely moving

Water of yesterday. Still

The clouds are gray. Some

Have separated to show a

Little uplifting blue.

Spring seems to be more winter

Then winter was. Yesterdays

Snow has about melted.

I am afraid that we will have

A cold, gray, wet Easter.

That is usually a bad omen.

The next seven Sundays will be

Very much like Easter Sunday.

We take what we get and hope

For the best. We can serve

Others, regardless of the weather

And no rule says

We have to feel bed.
