Our Kitty Cats

We prayed for our own kitty cat
And God blessed us with two
Who love it when we hug and pat
And carry them 'round too.

Born on a farm in Paraguay
Then dropped off at a mall;
We noticed them when we walked by -
They looked so scared and small.

Three weeks have passed since we came home
With our two kitty cats
And since then they have blossomed; grown
And look much less like rats.

Lean On Me
When I was yet a tiny fir tree
Shallow-rooted, supple, thin;
Another young tree grew beside me
And I thought it rude of him.

I needed space; refused to share -
Why couldn't he just go away?
About his needs I did not care,
But always wanted my own way.

Then one fateful day at dawn
As dew drops sparkled on my leaves,

I Like the Night

I love to stand in my garden at night
When everything's lit by the moon's soft light;
Listening to the rustling leaves
Whilst flowers sway in the midnight breeze,
And there above me - way up high
I see the bejeweled velvet-clad sky:
God's Creation at peace and at rest -
Oh yes, I do like the night time best.

A Whisper On the Wind

A fog, a mist, a tear, a prayer,
A shadow passing by;
A choice, a test,
No time to rest;
Seemingly unfair.

A word, a thought, a touch - a breath,
A whisper on the wind;
Now here, now gone:
A snuffed out song,
Fading into death.

Life's short - it's here, then seen no more,
Withering like grass;
A time to choose
Accept; refuse:
To open up the door.

Fright Night
(A children's poem)

In the deepest, darkest night
After I've turned off the light
Creatures lurk within my room
Planning my demise and doom.

They slither, slink and crawl around
Making not the slightest sound;
Waiting with abated breath
To pounce and scare me half to death.

My heart is pounding
