IN TIMES OF NEED AND PRAYER

IN TIMES OF NEED

AND PRAYER

When all seems to be in despair

When nothing seems to be going well

The this way

And that way

Pulling and pushing

Please hear my prayer

I offer this worry

And troubles

Our Creator

For not myself

But for others

Those that are in distress

And despair

Hear this prayer

And offering

That those my feel

The healing of your

Power

And trust

Let all mankind

Around this world

Be free from the

All that is

Pain and suffering

Troubles and strife’s

In their daily life’s

Let this be my offering

To you

Our Creator

UNDERSTANDING

UNDERSTANDING

I’ve tried and tried

To be so understanding

I’ve stood upstanding

Been so appreciative

Sympathetic, empathetic

When others have not been so supportive

I’ve tried and tried

But it makes me tired

The wrangling, wrangling

Jangling

Of the tolerant tolerating the intolerant

They just don’t seem to understand

They’d rather do it underhand

Even backhand

Their indulgent

Self-indulgence

Not giving anyone a chance

A voice, a choice

Their voices drowning

Faces frowning

Self-indulgent just clowning

Why must we be understanding?

Or are we just being mis-understanding?

To the misunderstood

Who won’t let us be understanding!

Their misunderstood

Our easy-going nature

Our easy-going stature

We totally understand

There is no underhandedness

We just need the understanding

We’re totally upstanding

We have great sympathy!

We show our empathy

So why can we not be so understanding?

Understanding we are different

Yet some show indifferent

It is not always the case to be totally

Understanding

WALKING OVER MY SOUL

WALKING OVER MY SOUL

This amazing feeling

When you just walk over me

I can feel it

Even though I don’t see you

Those paws

Gentle but firm

Walking, walking right over my body

The senses that I feel

So thrilling

Electrifying

Exhilarating

Rousing

Spine-tingling

And chilling

Certainly not nerve-racking

Nerve-jangling

Terrifying

Frightening

This is electrifying

Through my body

Captivating

Stimulating

Every ounce of my soul

Awakening

To you spirit

So softly and gently
