The Soul of the Poet 7
Good Night, Sweet Dreams
In memory of Ellie M. Jenkins
We said good night for a spell,
As you start your journey onward,
And the darkness soon fell,
Then the moon soon rises
Rising upward high.
Suddenly you slipped away in sweet rest,
Into another slumber and sleep
As the Good Master takes your hand
For He knows what’s best
As the rising moon is up high.
What words can I truly express
From my heart and through soaked filled tears
Not words to kill the pain
Or ease my fears
But words to quietly say to you.
Don’t let these tears fool you
Don’t let these tears quietly kill you softly
Don’t let these skies so blue
As you look up and see
Angels all around to welcome you home.
Family be strong
Family continue to love
Like never before and remember as long
As you keep that love once shared
Place it in your heart forever.
And now my dear
It’s time to depart.
Time is so near
Yet not to far in our hearts
As we say goodnight not goodbye,
But sweet dreams my dear and good night.
Goodnight to you and we’ll see you soon…

The Seasons
Flowers in spring
Blooming everywhere
The newest of the season
And it’s in the air.
Summer has arrived
A day at the beach,
Sunny skies and hot days
A great time and summer are at your reach.
Fall has arrived and God paints
The leaves with many colors of gold and red,
Windy days get cooler
The autumn days are here that’s not dead.
Winter has arrived
Snow falls and cold days
Winter has arrived
A wonderful winter in many ways.
The seasons of life
Year by year, day by day.
The seasons of life
Wonderful in many ways.

Survivors: Here’s to You
Let’s hear it for
All those who recovered
From Breast Cancer,
Let's hear it for
Wo survived and won
Then not look back
But moved ahead of the line
Crossing the finish line of hope.
Here’s to you
The survivors who won
Beating and winning
Going against all odds
This is for you... 25 Oct. 2018
