My Recipe For Life

A Poem by Debra Stevens Edwards (Debby)

A recipe for a good life.

My Recipe For Life

Start with a fresh positive attitude,
Add 3 heaping table spoons of Gratitude,

Next 2 cups of pre-softened tolerance,
Add a dash of zest and exuberance,

Blend gently and throw in some yokes,
Add humor to taste and some old fashion jokes,

Add education and wisdom in equal parts,
And then this is the filling for these tarts,

Now it’s time to make your crust,
Start with a generous cup of trust,

Add 3 cups of love, 1 cup forgiveness too,
The faith of a child, Make a good life for you.

Enjoy it…

Tiny Hands

Tiny hands
Holding tight.

Innocent eyes
Wide and bright.

Dependent on Us
For every need.

God’s precious gift
Love’s very seed.

Tender arms
Loving touch.

Newborn baby
Snuggling in.

Knowing love
As life begins…

Stormy skies
Wistful eyes.

Wind whispers
Soft lullabies.

Still I Find
no reconciliation.

Heart feels pain
Not jubilation.

Just pouring Rain,
Thunder pounding.

Enhances the hurt
Anger abounding.

Rage will spike
Ready to hide.

Confusion despite
No peace inside.

Could ever begin
To make it right.

So once again
I will stand and fight.

May God forgive me
For the sins I commit.

I am only human and
Not as good as I hope to get…

The Fourth Of July,2008

( One Woman’s Opinion )

This is the day we celebrate this great Country of Ours.
As I look around I see broken dreams and dying flowers.

Children alone, hurt or dying, confusing us instead of inspiring.
Give them love and teach them how to cope, and the art of forgiving.

If we want this Country strong, we must really teach them to pray.
This Country was founded on a profound faith in God’s Way.

Many thought there was no God by the separation of Church and State.
When it only meant that the Church any Church could not dictate

What was made Law. Still Our money says ( In God We Trust.).
Children are the future and too Know God is a certainty, a must.

They need more then moral decay that exist here and now.
We need to change it this is what I think about the way how.

The time to do it today and it is up to each and every one of us.
They need to believe in the things we as children could always trust.

Praying to God to thank him for blessings and satisfaction of a job well done.
The Golden rule, be as good as your word, work hard love well and have some fun…
