Awakened
I believed these eyes could see everything,
Now my heart envisions much more,
not in blind faith, but with godlike knowing.
My soul whispers
"Peace,"
and I am.
"Truth,"
and I am.
"Love,"
and I am.
They have been here waiting patiently,
only consciousness was asleep.
How beautiful to know every human is me.
Every animal is me;
every plant.
The sun, moon and stars are all me,
and I am them!
Miracles, beauty and love around every corner.
Excitement like electricity fills the air.
Nothing is evil--only good.
The sacred Light of the Universe,
flows through me.
Joy and bliss have been found.
I have found Heaven in this world,
if only in an awakened consciousness!

The Sitka Spruce
A Sitka Spruce stands tall,
Reminds me of my mom.
The cold winds blow,
She dances gracefully in the breeze,
Bending and swaying,
But never breaks.
Her branches are like arms,
Growing and stretching toward the warm sunlight,
With all of her knowing.
When winter arrives,
She is an umbrella for the deer and squirrels without question.
Her arms cradle the giant eagles nest,
Offering rest and protection without condition.
Oh how I stand in awe of her greatness!

I love you Mom!
Dragons
A baby Dragon came to call,
So tiny, a harmless creature it seemed.
He was welcomed in,
Fed thoughts and nursed ideas,
How he grew and ripened!
Dragon became immense and powerful,
And broke the chains that bound him.
In rage, he tramped about,
Crushing and demolishing all beauty.
Now he breathed a torrid fire,
Down upon Magnar,
The very person who fed him,
Attempting to become his master!
Magnar fled swiftly on horseback,
But Dragon flew to him,
Seeking him out!
Magnar would not have peace,
Unless Dragon was destroyed!
He held the shield of truth,
Over his heart.
He drew the commanding sword of love,
And masterfully conquered the Monster!
He will never again forget!

Juanita
Her name means "Precious gift from God,"
But her life is greater proof
That heaven sent this angel down
To see this family through.
She gives her love so freely
To so many every day
She works so hard to make the world
a more heavenly place.
Her energy miraculous,
Her face ever aglow,
She fills my heart with joy and peace-
More than you could know.
Juanita is the perfect name
For one as kind as she.
Her touch, her kiss, her warm embrace
Inspire good in me.
The happiness that I have known,
The magic in life,
Has come through my sweet angel,
Juanita, my dear wife.

I'm glad you're my mom.
You let me have fun and you let me play with my friends, but you help me stay out of trouble.
You ask me how I'm doing and you always make sure that I'm safe.
You show me the best way to do things and you give me advice for life.
When I have to decide about something important, I know I'll remember something you said.
I can tell by the way you talk to me that you really care about me.
You always give me a kiss and hug before I go to bed. You always love me, and I'll always love you.
I'm glad you show me how much you love me.
Other kids have moms who ignore them or don't have time for them.
I wish they all had moms like you.
