Love & Devotions Flavor

Over the years I've tried to be a loving devoted person to everyone. Sometimes it works, other times it don't. Some people we just have to let go. But I still stick to my guns. Here in my later years I've remained a happier man because of my love and devotion. It's not really the after effect but having the best possible plan that counts. Anyway, one Sunday I heard a preacher preach about the same topic. Life gets harder and sometimes it don't. The only thing any man can do is stick to his plan, good or bad.


Poem Artwork

Love & devotion has a flavor,
some never savor.
Savoring takes devotion,
followed up by motion.
Can't get proper satisfaction,
without truth in action.


God blesses the truly devoted,
in heaven they're duly noted.
Devotion to God,
before we return to sod.
Devotion to mate,
also to friends, family and others
it's best to devotingly relate.
Can't leave out country of residence,
even if desiring independence.


Devotion brings stability,
helps control hostility.
It's impossible to be happy,
treating everyone crappy.
Even when others crap,
love and devotion provides
a better nap.


I've become devoted to the den,
I come here
over and over again.
This is about the only place,
I use my pen.
There are many other,
but
I care not to bother.

Devotion is great! Not many today take the time to be devoted to anything, easy come...easy go! It seems to difficult for many today to take time away from themselves to devote time to others...glad to know that you are devoted to the den...love your work!
Blessings,

The Ghost of Mavis by Mary Lynn Plaisance

Mavis asked, "Am I a ghost again? I don't remember being a ghost, but I know I was." Do you believe in reincarnation?
