Alice Goes To The Moon


Hello dear friend it's  Alice again
With Saint  Bear at my side
Tonight we must sleep, quietly keep
After taking a ride
My pillow, gives me thoughts to think
About all I wish for us to see
My tired eyes keep closing
Finally it’s time for dreams
Tonight my hope is to see the moon
With Saint bear at my side
The sort of dream that takes us far
On a galactic ride
Saint Bear refuses to sleep
I think he is afraid
It’s good I brought my headset for him
He can use it until he’s brave

Take us to  the  moon, and back
Let me touch the stars just this once
Who knows what mysteries lies ahead
Its an adventure for me and Saint Bear
I can see the heavens and the earth beneath
Oops, there goes something else I know
It’s the pretty flip flops my granny sent
Finding its way back home
How great it is these nights of dreams
When all daylight has passed
I wish for night to always be
My present and forever last
Maybe my days will be just as great
As I grow older, and learn to create
A day like night,
With dreams for all,
A joy to be awake
Hello it’s me, I’m Alice
With Saint bear my closest friend
The time has come to say goodnight
I’m back at home my friend.

Let's Talk... A Love That Lasts

The courage to carry “To have a love that lasts forever, is to truly understand vows and commitment” (Eversley,2016) In all of my forty six years of life  I have waited for the commitment of true love. To really believe that there are people in this world who can cherish and care for another romantically has become a faded dream. A dream which has been archived into the fantasy part of my mental library. The love stories of long marriages  which are not abusive or filled with indiscretions seem ancient. The new lifestyle sets a pathway to divorces which have become their own academy awards on film. Acceptance of prenuptial agreements and exit clauses are now necessary when thinking of love – whether in a celebrity career or leading a nondescript livelihood. To this end I did weep when I read  from a friend and learned of his devotion, marriage and love for his wife. Let’s be real, and understand this is a true ongoing story of endurance, commitment, passion fo...

A Canopy of Grace

Photo Credits: unsplash.com/Thom Milkovic   Drop your canopy O Lord, let it fall on the earth. Let it pick up all the people who are suffering and hurt. Let your canopy be big enough, that everyone can fit, Lord please I beg you, allow everyone to see it. Drop your canopy on the ground O Lord, Because some people cannot look up high For these are the people who love you, and without it may surely die. Drop your canopy dear Lord, for the little children to see Especially, the ones who are impoverished and living in poverty Drop your biggest canopy dear God on the earth Let it be enough, like a berth awaiting vessels to sail A mooring prepared with glorious flair, just waiting For the people to get there. Drop it, just drop it on the earth Drop it because you care. Please let your canopy fall dear Lord, because not everyone can see Let the ones who need it most dear Lord, be covered by its safety. Drop your canopy my Lord and Savior, drop it on the...

Reflections - Value Each Day!

Putting a value on time .. I’ve never been able to figure weekends out. I love Mondays. In fact give me everyday of the week and I love them. I love the days because there are so many opportunities and things  which are waiting for my discovery! Each day brings something new. For me it may be the same job status, the same car, the same family, the same 24 hours- what makes it different is me. The challenges never change, but my attitude does. I must change to go after my dreams, desires, to fulfill my purpose. I might look the same on the outside, but quite a lot is happening on the inside. I’m dreaming! There is a plan for something more to happen, then it happens unexpectedly and I’m ready! While waiting I’m there seeking out, creating, and finding each day different. Reflection: Enjoy each day Pause, wait, look around and smell the scent of the present you are in. I smell the salt in the sea wherever I am when I pause. That’s my moment of joy. Facing the sun, with t...
