Poem Artwork


"You can't stop the waves but you can learn to surf,"
Said the Prophet to the throng
"You can run life's gamut freely , just trying to belong
You can make the world much richer , just stop to smell the flowers
Then toss aside your umbrella for early morning showers
Catch the smile of a youngster and give them one right back
Be positive with each heartbeat then you will never lack
The earth is a gift from God , endear it as your own
Pick up the ugly , scarring trash and beautify our home
Welcome every morning , that's what life's about
Taste your words in battle , before you spit them out "
These are just a smidgeon of a dear shaman's advice
"Just make it your vow to God , don't think about it twice"
In all the gifts my father gave the values are right here
These I practice daily for all my life long years.

Thank you Dad!

This makes me kinda weep inside, Susan. You portray such love and admiration for your father, such respect and devotion. Yours is a model that sounds to be ideal. And has blossomed and grown a woman of fulfilled growth and personhood in all spheres and dimensions. His garden in you is beautiful and a joy to behold. Sorry for my weepiness... Just perhaps a tear for all those of us girlies who have never known a father's love - so critical to bring a balance to our sense of femininity, I think. Bless you and thank you for this. It is precious. Love, Kate xx

It is so endearing when a child can see a parent this way. There is so much strife and ugliness in so many families. This was a blessing Belle.
Peace and Love ...
