As Johnny drops items from his drawers,
An array of treasures falls onto the floor.
While others see his collection as trinkets,
Johnny see them as so much more.

First a bottle cap which he used to win,
In Tiddly Winks, much to his relief;
A rubber band used for self defense,
And his Roy Rodgers handkerchief.

His prized Micky Mantle trading card,
The stuffed toy he won at the fair;
When you're a boy of ten years old,
You never know what you will find there.

Words come in crystal visions,
Images painted as if canvas creations;
Prisms of an inner mind,
Multicolored majesty.

Rhythmic repetitions, melodic and grand,
Each thought, each image developed;
Lovingly cared for, painstakingly planned.

Words bringing forth emotions,
A collage of emotions, recorded
In quatrains and lyrical verse;
Touching the heart and mind,
A soothing balm for the soul.

Each day is begun with quiet devotions,
Thanking the Lord for all he has done;
Finishing up with prayers for others,
This prayer warriors day has begun.

Whatever she does… Continue

And the keepers of the flame.

We are the workers, the teachers,
The doctors and housekeepers,
And the glue holding the family together.

We are the chefs, the psychologists,
The romantics, the wives,
And the sentry of the family budget.

We are the protectors, the inspectors,
Supporters and mourners,
And the seekers of the truth.

We are strong, we are courageous,
We are women, we are survivors,
And the steel magnolias in life's ga… Continue
