Three Poems

The following poems were written this last week. The last one was written last month for another greeting card for Women's Equality Day..

A CHOCOLATY DAY

Chocolate, um.., chocolate, how good,
makes me think of how sweet you are.
I’d send you a box. I really should
since you live not close but too far.

Chocolate, that velvety, smooth brown
with fillings, some coconut and nuts
make my face light up, no more frown.
So grab a bite and don’t be a putz.

Fill your day with sweet, sweet bliss
with chocolaty fingers and sugary mouth.
Forget the other candies. I won’t miss
‘cause Chocolate lets energy just sprout..

FALL’S WISHES

This is the day that the Lord has made.

Let us rejoice and be very glad in it.

Though our plans and dreams may fade,

and friends are far away, let’s sit.

Let’s look at all the beauty displayed.

Remember our friends, our hearts’ knit,

as we enjoy nature’s trees as they sway,

with gold and reds, all Fall’s colors fit.

Women’s Equality Day

You may be blue and down
You may even wear a frown
But today, yes, it's yours
Here's some h'oerdeurves.

This day Women's Equality,
Have some coffee or tea.
Know that you're loved
From our God up above.

You are strong and tender.
You're giving and a lender.
So be thankful for today.
Make changes that’ll stay.

You are blessed and gifted
Everyone around is lifted
Just from watching your acts
Not some story but the facts.

So as you go about your day,
Take some time out and play.
Give yourself a flower or two
You know dear girls what to do.

THE 1982 DENVER BLIZZARD

This story is about the trip we took to see my mom at Christmas, 1982. She lived in Evans, Colorado and we lived in Page, Arizona. We had decided to take our four sons in our Dodge van not knowing what the weather had in store. We packed several bags, blankets, water and our cosmetic case for what we though was a two or three day vacation. We were supposed to be at my mom’s house Christmas Eve. We left Page and drove toward Kayenta, Arizona and onto New Mexico. We started toward Raton and hit a huge snow storm. Just outside of Raton, the winds were severe. Our engine died just outside of town. With ropes my husband tied himself to the front of the van and checked the motor. He said the guys that serviced our car didn’t put the lid back right and the carburetor, situated in the center of the air filter, was iced up. So we poured through our cosmetic bag and found some men’s cologne. We both knew that alcohol would deice the carburetor. The van started up and we pushed forward. It was s

NOT SO KEEN HALLOWEEN

Halloween is not really a holiday It’s more like our countries malady. It gives credit to witches and devils. Too much that’s sinister and evil. Take a look at its very beginning Are you afraid you’d be sinning? To bring to light Satan’s one desire but he will end up in hell’s hot fire. God says to love only Him above all the idols, the orange décor in the hall. It gives Him no glory can’t you see? Wearing masks won’t set you free. Satan calls this day his sacred one, telling children to play and have fun, to dress like his demons and death for fear of losing their very breath. Why does America make such a fuss over witches and skeleton’s ugliness, to make it a bigger day than Easter? It should bring us shame each year. So what should Christians try to do? The Truth has set us free. Has He you? Celebrate Jesus. He gave us salvation. Lift Him up, not our true enemy Satan. Whatever you decide on this dark night, glorify God in the earth, in men’s sight. We are not of this world. God is
