Happy Mother’s Day

REVELATION

Mothers are those people who listen,
understand and teach little people
and not so little people to cope.

Mothers are those people who always
make time when they have none
to spare, in order to accomplish
some small good here and there.

Mothers have unlimited patience,
tell quaint stories and believe
in miracles.

Mothers are a weird
mixture of compassion, no nonsense
and inspiration.

Mom’s are chief interrogators,
staunch negotiators,die hard
moralists and super human
co ordinators.

Mothers cry at accomplishments,
laugh at trial and tribulation,
and have unfailing faith when all
the World tumbles out of control.

Mothers can handle just about
anything.

Children often take Mom for granted.
When children grow up they gain
new perspective about Mom.

Sometimes Children are shocked
to find that Mom’s are people, too.

Green with envy out of sync
full of fear is what I think,
fear turns the hatred button on
fills the air, fuels rage and scorn.
Ugly emotions tilt the wheel
to spin untruth, give no appeal
until the wheel out of control,
causes hurt and loss unfolds.
Jealousy festers causing pain
damages relationships, to gain
abuse and loss of self esteem,
a never ending case of mean.
So if you harbor jealous intent
wonder where your spirit went.
Let reflection slow the wheel
say a prayer, recapture zeal.
Just stop, take the time to see
there is no gain in jealousy.

A Profound Thought

Genuflection

We are flickers in the eye of time,

first here then blinked away.
Precious moments form a link
to guide us through our days.
The minutes that pass slowly
will soon fade and float away,
’til we are left with memories,
shades of night and day.
Life colors us with endless stress
when we should simply be,
to realize that we are blessed
because our wills are free.
When we analyze existence
or cause another pain,
if we speak our words in anger
what has been the gain?
We are flying in the face of God.
we think “we” make life’s plans.
Perhaps we should reflect a bit!
Our fate is in His hands.
when our life light flickers
and the flame is growing weak,
what will be important?
what will our spirits seek?
Will we remember moments?
Did we share hearts and minds?
we were too busy being earthly
to simply… just be kind?
What really matters in this space
is…how we spend our time.
Souls are meeting other souls
and time is fleeting by.
It’s not the things we store away
that matter in the end.
It’s the light of love we cherish.
And we earn it when we bend.
