We are all on a journey, like the character in your love story, to become better versions of ourselves. Never give up learning and GROWING and developing your craft! Because I want to read more.

Mylow the mmagnificent dog 2 (Short Story) - 11/29/2018 1:58:47 PM
this is an interesting story idea. You should expand it a bit with more detail, and description. Help us to imagine what he looks like, we want to see a series of this antics, seem a fresh way to get us smiling, and seeing the Mylow side of life.

Mylow the magnificent dog (Short Story) - 9/3/2018 9:56:45 PM
This a wonderful feeling to have one of my poem number one.
Mylow the magnificent dog (Short Story) - 8/30/2018 7:11:42 AM
Mylow sounds to me like a very good dog and companion for you. I have been wanting to get a dog too for myself after my pet cat, Pride, passed away a few months ago. I still miss him dearly. He was like a son to me.
After his death, one of my daughter's kitties had suddenly sprung into a protective mode. She suddenly showers me with lots of attention daily, and sleeps with me on my bed. She's sleeping where my cat Pride would normally sleep. It's amazing how our pets can sense our emotions and would comfort and protect us when we need comfort and protection. I have not got a dog yet because I don't want to ruin the good relationship I have with my daughter's cat. She has sort of adopted me as her mother. She's such a good and caring girl!!!

Even fighter pilots in Vietnam adapted it to tell the story of all the places they went in the call of duty.

Very nice poem of God's Holy Spirit. I like the way you symbolize how God's Spirit is personal to each one of His children, yet He unites believers as one, with His love.

Simplify our lives (Poetry) - 10/2/2018 10:36:37 AM
I really believe in simplifying life. Sometimes that means avoiding the "convenient way" of doing things for something much more rewarding. God won't do anything. We have to work at making our lives simpler and better.
Ron
Pennies from Heaven? (Poetry) - 9/30/2018 4:02:35 PM
After my mother-in-law passed away we cleaned the house to get ready for selling and found more than $18,000.00 in cash underneath the bed. This is what she had saved. My mother-in-law did not even have a good pension, but she was able to save that money with her meagre pension, aside from paying for the mortgage of the house. I don't know how she did it, but it reminded me one time during a conversation before her death she did mention to my hubby and his sisters about this money she said not to let my father-in-law knows about it. We had no idea what she was talking about at the time, only thought she was saying things because she was so sick. We were surprised to know that there was really money underneath her bed. How she saved it with her meagre income I really don't know but it was a nice surprise to my hubby and his sisters. We split up that money and then split up the money from the sales of the house as well. Oh, of course... we've only sold the house after my father-in-law passed away as well.
My mother-in-law was an angel. She loved all her children! She liked it whenever we visited her she would cook up a big dinner for us all. I'm still missing her a lot to this day.

My Mylow (Poetry) - 9/22/2018 11:49:40 AM
My cat, Pride, used to follow me everywhere like a dog would do, even when I go to the washroom, he would sit by the door waiting for me. He was just like a kid to me. He also slept in my bed with me, and I let him, because I know he was a clean kitty.
Too bad I have lost him a few months ago. He was diabetic, and I had been taken care of him daily with the proper diet and insulin injection all his life. I get that it was time for him to leave us, so I had no choice but to just let him go. I still miss my baby as to this date.
My daughter's kitty is now taking over Pride's place. She has sprung to action in comforting me! She sits and sleeps on the spots where Pride used to sit with me. It seems like she has adopted me to be her mommy. LOL!!! I hope my daughter is not getting jealous.
A cute little poem about your dog Mylow! Thank you for sharing!
Sandie
My Mylow (Poetry) - 9/21/2018 4:14:20 PM
I had a dog such as Mylow, her name was Zoe. She died on me very suddenly. I am still dog-less. I guess I won't acquaire another one. I'm to the age where I could go out at any moment. I would hate to leve him along until someone wanted her.

A mother's love (Poetry) - 9/4/2018 12:42:40 PM
A mother's love is always unconditional, no matter where we are in life.
I love all my children equally. I do not love one more over the other just because I "think" one is doing better in life than the other. Every child shines in life at a different time.
However, there are just some children who would connect better with their mothers and be closer to their mothers.
Sandie
A mother's love (Poetry) - 9/4/2018 12:18:34 PM

There are plenty of mothers who are mean, very mean. My mother was included in that very long list.

God created a beautiful place for us. (Poetry) - 9/3/2018 1:19:26 PM
Some people say, why did God put us into such a awful world. We forget, it was perfect till we humans messed it up. This is a beautiful poem reminding us God has given us such a beautiful place.
I especially like the last few verses about Jesus being a blessing we will someday see with our eyes!
-Zach

I'm a hopeful romantic (Poetry) - 8/30/2018 11:33:09 AM
What lovely atmosphere! I'm still searching for my Mr. Right after my hubby passed away 2 years ago. I can't really get used to another man after being married to my hubby for so long. I don't think I will ever be able to find one by myself unless our Father in heaven will miraculously send me one like yours who is so caring and romantic! Very good indeed, Shirley! I'm so happy for you!

I love the image you have presented in this poem. Some tense need to be corrected though in the last paragraph.
The golden sun "shone", not shined.
It "kept" me warm, not keep.
Good luck and keep writing!

A blessing is being thankful for whatever we have.
Then blessing others with whatever you have left.
Tha's living the dream. With Jesus life is not always as it seems.
Nice poetic thoughts, Shirley.

At first, I thought you were talking about Stephen King's story, "Pet Semetary", then I clicked on this poem and found out that it is not. Interesting pets buried there in the Pet Cemetary. I wish I had so many pets like the ones you had. It must have brought you tons of joys.

Our date. (Poetry) - 8/6/2018 3:17:37 AM
Just wondering who is that "you" you are referring to in your poem. As you both were eating the dessert, shouldn't you have said -
"It melted in our mouths.
We could just savor the taste on our tongues"
and not you, or your?
We "rode" in the car for a while, NOT road.
"We ordered our dinner sea scallops with
Green peas risotto that melted in your mouth." - our mouths, NOT your mouth. You are the ones who are eating the scallops.
Relaxeing is spelled wrong. It should be Relaxing.
As always, please use spellcheck for grammar and spelling before posting.

Yes, be happy, and it's contagious to the people who are around you.
Nice little poem! I caught a little error in the second to last line:
"Life is just to short" - the word "to" should be "too".
