Poem: Angel Eyes - Twenty-Seven of 30 #NaPoWriMo

Ah, angel eyes, such gentle ones
Who come into our lives
With tender purrs, yes, heaven's songs
And love-light in their eyes
Oh little child, do you yet know
The gift this being brings?
Soft caresses round bare feet
The plaintive meows she sings
Make this Lil angel your best friend
No other is so sweet
When she curls up by your side
Oh, what a special treat!

Poem: Peace - Twenty-Six of 30 #NaPoWriMo

Peace is at the door
If only we opened our hearts
And let Her enter

Peace is a sweet dog friend of my friend Rev. Rosemary Anderson

Hebrew Bible: Psalm 90:1-2

"A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.  Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God." ~ Psalm 90:1-2


I dwell in You, O my Lord
Not beside the road
With no riches to my name;
For in You I am home
Without You I would be
No less homeless than
The girl on the city streets
Begging for food to feed
Her hungry cat
Indeed, should I walk up
To her as she leans angry
Against the bricks of the ancient
Tenement, her cat curled by 
Her feet at the end of the
Clothesline leash, frayed where
The knot has rubbed against itself;
Should I walk up to her smiling
And she bore her anguished
Eyes into my privileged soul
I would find my roommate
My bunk-mate, sister, friend
She has been in You since
The day you formed her tiny
Feet within her mother's womb
Since the day I first curled
Fetal within, I was her friend
O Lord, You are our dwelling place
Never has there been a place
Where we could not find Home
