Welcome to my Rose Garden. Here you will find some of my favorite poems. Many things inspire me to write. Life, Death. Loved ones, Illness and Disease, Patriotic and a little of This and That. Family and friends are very important to me and people with Dementia/Alzheimer's disease have a very special spot close to my heart. Some of my writings are uplifting while others can be quite sad. My intent is to reach my viewers on different levels. Please feel free to read my writings and pass the word along.
Check back often as I will be adding more as time goes on. I welcome e-mail with your views.
Enjoy!

Let us remember Steve, always!
We all weep and feel the loss of the Crocodile Hunter. Let us remember his love for animals and how he always gave his all as a husband, father, son and friend.
Please Pray for his wife Terri and children Bindy and Bob who will miss him most. |
Donate to help his cause. Thank you!

Tears For Hope....
Sad that so many children are abused every minute of every day. Sadder still, that often times their cries go uheard...

For Our Children, all children...
Something is very wrong in our world today. Why is it that a person with a record for molesting children is allowed to walk free? And why is it that our system is failing our children? And why is it that there is no justice for such acts against our children? Why is it?
~ ~ ~ ~
When our children are young ones
we teach them right from wrong
we help them with their homework
hold them close where they belong
~ ~ ~ ~
Preach about hygiene and safety
be sure and look both ways
and after using the bathroom
be sure and wash your hands
~ ~ ~ ~
Get along with others
play nice and always be fair
elbows off the table
don't forget to say your prayers
~ ~ ~ ~
Don't ever go with strangers
don't listen to what they say
If anyone ever hurts you
you ust tell me right away
~ ~ ~ ~
A stranger can be a neighbor
or someone just passing through
no they don't look scary
they look like me and you
~ ~ ~ ~
Please teach your children that the evil ones can look and be very friendly. They do not look like monsters or the boogieman. We need to set rules for our children and make sure they are understood. We need to teach them what to do if they are put in harms way. We need to always love them and listen real hard to what they have to say. It is our responsibilty....

Abuse Comes In Many Forms!!!!
|
|
|

You Have No Right
You have no right to hit me
or call me dirty names
have no right mistreating me
with your foolish games
You have no right to laugh at me
because you made me cry
have no right to belittle me
as your friends stand by
~ ~ ~
You have no right to touch me
in my private spots
for I am but a little child
with fear inside my heart
It's not your right to punch me
just because you're drunk
or lock me in a closet
no breakfast and no lunch
~ ~ ~
You think because I'm old and gray
to weak to fight you off
it makes you feel more powerful
even though you're not
It's not your right to push me
or scream into my face
you have no right to starve me
by removing my dinner plate
~ ~ ~
You have no right to kick me
or throw me cross the room
you watch me cower and tremble
just because you're home
It's not your right to abuse me
because of trickels on the floor
why do you stamp and holler
toss me out the door
~ ~ ~
However,
We all have the right
to make a difference...
~ ~ ~
There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for abuse be it man, woman, child, young, old or animal...Abuse is unacceptable be it, verbal, sexual, emotional, mental. or otherwise...Please do your part to help
prevent such situations...Thank you!
