Delicate petals,
Tossed onto the hardwood floor...
And two become one.

The Chameleon
Her heart,
Like fine crystal
Shatters easily…
Pain she hides
With a smile…
A mask to show
The world…
In the solitude
Of her mind
She suffers,
Deeply…
Fearful of losing
All she loves,
Again…
She changes herself
Like the chameleon…
To be accepted,
To be loved…
Who is she?
Not even she
Knows anymore.

My Little Boy
I heard my little boy take his first breath,
I watched him master his wobbly first steps…
I held his hand while crossing the street,
I dried his tears when he scraped his knees…
I checked his closet for goblins and ghouls,
I taught him his prayers and the Golden Rule…
I cheered him on through sports and trials,
Win or lose, supporting him all the while…
I closed my eyes for a only second or two,
Now suddenly, my little boy’s feet
Fill a grown man’s shoes!

Fat Cats in D.C.
With a poker face
Lerner states,
“My emails were lost
When my computer crashed!
I swear I’m not lying
To cover mine or Obama’s ass!”
Fat cats in D.C.
Living to scheme,
Bringing America
Down to her knees!
American borders overflow,
Ready to burst at the seams….
Obama gloats and hands out
The American dream for free!
It’s NOT free!
It’s paid for by you and me!
Everyone loves rich Uncle Sam!
You have laws you say?
We don’t give a damn!
Funny how Mr. Prez
Learns national events via
The evening news!
Sheepishly he claims,
“I didn’t have a clue!”
Did you know about Benghazi BO?
BO: “Wasn’t that about a video?”
What about Fast & Furious sir?
BO: I have confidence in Mr. Holder!”
Why did you release terrorists for a traitor?
BO: “My Muslim brothers, Oh, err, they
Had nothing to do with 3000 murders!
That young man wore his uniform with dignity”…
Right up to the point where he joined the enemy!
BO: Oh, he made a wrong turn,
I hope that’s a lesson he learned!
And the fat cats in D.C.
Keep on scheming
While the people’s patience
Is wearing thin and red blood is steaming!
You ask, When will this nightmare end?
To be continued...
If you vote for another Clinton!

The Abuse of the Innocents
Sorrow steals the laughter from once joyful spirits…
Burgeoning anguish envelopes mourning souls
Numb from the atrocity of the abuse of the innocents…
“Why”, asking God…
“Why do You allow this to happen?”
“Why take the child and not me? They were so young, so helpless!”
Hurt and anger fill the lamenting parent’s core,
Tears flow uncontrollably…
Oh how it grieves us to think of what the child suffered.
Defenseless, voiceless loving little beings at the mercy of monsters.
Cold black hearts pump evil through the veins of a child abuser.
Wretched demons, inhuman slithering snakes!
What you do in the dark will always come to light!
Changed forever, the dead child’s parents
Will never be the same.
Blaming themselves, even though unwarranted,
A dark shadow of despair clings to their soul.
The loss leaves a gaping wound where their heart once beat,
Yet they must continue to breathe and live and walk and talk.
God help the loved ones of a murdered child.
God curse the abuser to Hell!

Maci
I never got to say “I love you”
With my voice,
Or run through the house and
Make lots of noise!
I hope you know I love you so,
By the way I smiled and
Nuzzled you close….
Please don’t blame yourselves
For the evil ways of another!
I never doubted for one second
I had the very best Daddy and Mother…
I’m in the arms of the Lamb so sweet,
Watching other children playing at His feet!
We laugh and sing constantly,
The best part is when we worship Him
On bended knees!
Mommy and Daddy
I know your hearts ache,
And you don’t know how
You’ll get through another day…
I want you to know what Jesus
Whispered in my ear….
“ Maci, one day you will be with your
Mommy and Daddy again
Without anymore tears!”

America, America
Beneath the surface of restraint
Red white and blue blood boils…
Patience wears exceedingly thin with
Elected traitors treacherous acts
On American soil!
Veterans fought Liberty’s battles
With honor, dignity and pride…
Now herded like condemned cattle
In long waiting lines, slowly they die.
Four murdered Americans
Whose cries for help were denied…
Instead, bring a traitor home and
Free the Taliban party of five…
Cover-ups and scandals
Run rampant in the city of D.C.,
Modern day Rome,
Greedy souls filled with shameless iniquity…
Americans divided by race
Status and mocked creed,
No longer the thread that binds
The exceptional home of the brave and
The land of the free…
Haunting echoes of our forefathers
Blowing in the wind,
Crying out to us,
“Destroy the enemy within!”
“America, America
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good
With brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!”
What then shall be her fate?
Will Patriots rise up
Before it’s too late?
