Hello Miss Kitty
Dressed in your Christmas pretty
Singing a little ditty
All about the the city
Sounds kinda gritty
What a pity

One Step at a Time
Stepping out of my comfort zone
It’s difficult, thats true
Life is taking on different tone
Stepping out of my comfort zone
I’m out sharing, not sitting alone
Lots to see, lots to do
Stepping out of my comfort zone
It’s difficult, thats true

Strong Standing Faith—Faith Standing Strong–Revised Poem
Faith holds strongly
Belief based deeply
Un-battered, Un-broken
Heart un-swaying
Joyfully dances securely
Soul peaceful
Doubts fly away
Faith stands firm
Beliefs rooted deep
Unshaken
Deep rooted beliefs
Firm stands faith
Away fly doubts
Peaceful soul
Securely dances joyfully
Un-swaying heart
Un-broken, Un-battered
Deeply based belief
Strongly holds faith

(Revision of Original Poem published in September 2019)
Alice’s Underground Undertaking
Alice in Wonderland
Took a trip that wasn’t planned
She followed a white rabbit
Who had a bad habit
Met a caterpillar of blue
Who kept asking “Who are YOU?”
Then a Cheshire Cat
Who was quite a diplomat
Befriended Alice for awhile
As he listened, advised and left his smile
Frustrated, Alice saw a table under a tree
Where the Hatter and March Hare were having tea
Treated rudely there, she left upset
And entered the strangest place yet
Numbers were painting roses red
As a Red Queen yelled “Off with her head!”
Suddenly Alice grew tall, she didn’t know why
And the King accused her of being a mile high
He said she had to leave the trial in court
“I won’t” was Alice’s sharp retort
“You’re all just a pack of cards” she said
At that they rose up and fell on her head
Alice beat them off, let out a scream,
And awoke to find it was only a dream.

Strings of bubble lights
With tinsel
Childhood tree adorned

Light moving
Traveling
Shining bright
Chasing dark
Banishing
Deep set fears
Bringing hope
To the lost

Searcher of the Scattered
As a Good Shepherd
The Lord God
Seeks, saves His sheep
Syllable Lune
“For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.”
Ezekiel 34:11-12 KJV

Guiding Light
His Star
In the Eastern sky
Was a sign
Of His birth
Pointing towards Bethlehem
Leading Wise Men
Shadorma
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
Matthew 2:1-2 KJV
