"HER BIRTHDAY"...

March 6th.. "HER"  BIRTHDAY... Ahh ya, today is the day "SHE" sets a side..  Sets a side, but also should I say Collides. .  With her alter ego who can't catch a break.. Cuz that "fat cow" is all about what she ate.. If it was up to "HER".. She'd eat everything in sight.. Well, of course, she's not all that bright.. She'd eat everything from morning to night.. And wouldn't even put up  a decent fight..March 6th.. "HER"  BIRTHDAY...

ROCKED SANG AND PRAYED...

. I have an old rocking chair   that sits in a corner in   My bedroom..
A chair I  used to rock,  sing  and pray  .. At  night, by the light of  late night moon..

 My children's fevered brows..
Their restless moans ,  I soothed their fears somehow...

 Their listless bodies in my arms..
At my breast  I kept them  safe and warm..

 The living room was dark as I rocked and sang  old  hymns..
Filtered light through our picture  window as trees leaves danced and skimmed..

 No one but God, the sick  child and  me..
I prayed fervently .. Relinquishing our spirits free..

 "Dear God , this child is so  ill ..
Please touch him ,sweet Jesus, Please",  I'd pray, "if you will"..

 Our bonded souls united..
My fears and woes subsided..

 Those nights in that darkened room..
 I prayed , rocked and sang.. There was no sadness or no gloom..

 My child lay rested safe from harm ..
I placed him into  my Masters arms..

 Just pure  untainted  fearless calm..
 As he wrapped the child  with His healing balm..

 A taste of heaven's pure holy place..
My child rests as I  seek His face..

 Those were memories  I've kept in store..
The times I rocked,sang  and prayed at heavens door..

 He came to meet me with each  child I cried..
"Dear Jesus , please Heal and bless this Child"..

 He always answered  with His still small voice..
My heart reassured  my soul rejoiced..

 "I am here .. I hear your prayer"..
 "Rest now mother"  as He touched and cared..

 "This child I Love more  than even you"..
"I've come to heal ,  You know  this to be true"..

 "For tomorrow will bring  a bright new dawn"..
Just then the  fevered brow,  miraculously gone..

 Bright red cheeks are pale again..
The child's broad smile  and strength regained ..

 "Thank you Jesus"..  I whispered loud..
. "My faith renewed", I said  "I have no doubt"..

 I am older now....   My children grown.. 
They now have  children of their own..

 I still remember those  nights so still ...
Sitting in that old rocking chair ..
With each  small child so ill...

 Wasn't it just yesterday  I Sang, Rocked and Prayed.. When He came and met us.. I was not afraid.. Patsy McNutt Morgan Written on 03/11/11 Revised on 02/27/12

IN THE SHELTER OF ANGELS WINGS...

She was incredibly shy and no bigger than a minute..
Her world was small , not many people would  she allow in it..

 Her family meant more to her than she could utter or express..
They were her world,  her life.. They were just  simply the best ..

 Then one day when she was no more than five years old ..
A tragedy occurred, a fire,  to the family home as now this  story unfolds..

 Already emotionally inept, the small girl was taken from her family ..
Her parents had decided to have her stay with a neighbor, a very poor facsimile ..

 She started to withdraw, would not eat and became  quite weak ..
She missed her parents, her sisters,  her older and younger brothers .. So shy,  so scared, she couldn't  even speak..

 The Dr came and said .. " this child is grieving ..
She misses her family she feels alone,  that is  why she is not speaking"...

 Alone she cried for days for  someone to hear her ..
 It was then she felt his touch, His  gentle spirit ,
heard the  rustle  of his wings as he moved  and stirred...

 In her imagination this felt  real..
 As she laid in bed,  alone , 
Her angel was hard to conceal ..

 In desperation, she knew she was  not alone, so she whispered to her Angel...
" I know you are here to help me feel better", she said so careful ..

 She asked if he would take her to his side and wrap his wings around her?
She felt his gentle touch , his loving arms ,then his wings unfurled ..

 He held her close,  his wings  wrapped tightly around her  frail body..
She felt secure, alone no more, He gave her comfort... As I recall  now,  so profoundly..

B. R. A. T.

Connotatively speaking I have changed the word B.R.A.T.
 Let me explain, so to be exact ..

 When we spoke this  word . You misunderstood..
 Oh Please let me interpret, explain, clear the air,  If I could ?

 "B" stands for BEAUTY.. My dear, it  fits you  Absolutely ..
 "R" stands for "Ridiculous".. The argument we had, Made no sense, it is clearly,
             "R I D I C U L O U S..
 "A" stands for "Adult".. Could we please!! " be adult"..
      not Sit, Sulk, and not talk..
 "T" stands for " Time".. Yes, we are wasting..
      Precious time, you and me..

So FORGIVE ME!!
 I misspoke .. This is what I meant when those
 words came out of me..

 Yes,  you are a (spell)  B. R. A. T. 
 Look above .. It is plain to see !!

WHAT MAKES ME CRY...

WHAT MAKES ME CRY .. What makes me cry and especially feel bad So much so, it makes me feel  Sad.. To look at my family and know  Somethings wrong.. Fractured relationships, hurt feelings, going on way too Long..  Bitter disagreements, hateful comments , unforgiving  Past.. In disrepair, how long will this Last?? My heart wants true interface With hearts on the table. I know you can do this and make your relationships stable.. Angry words can be said to begin the exchange.. But love and forgiveness in the end this must  reign.. I know what has transpired, I know how this started.. Years have gone on by now , This is why you have parted.. Hate has no place in this family I say.. Put this behind you .. Say ,"I forgive You".. OKay? More than that you must mean it, Let it go ..  Let God be the judge.. Or this ongoing situation can or   Never will budge.. Break down this Wall of contention..  Break down the barriers of false pretension .. Live in peace , Love one another I do want it so .. I pray for that peace and Loves Afterglow.. If I don't see in my lifetime I'll pray from above.. "Love in peace with one another .. Live together with LOVE!!" Patsy McNutt Morgan 02/26/11

LAYERS...

Layers..

I find we humans are a lot like an onion.. 

After cleaning away the brown papery
outer lining to  start..

We now are  now getting into the 

The most interesting  part..

First, we initially see 

the outer exterior..

Looks are important..
but certainly not to be that superior..

Some are gorgeous,
some are homely,
some are average..

But looks shouldn't matter..

It still can be used
Regardless it can be salvaged..

Still, Looks shouldn't matter,
but to some.. it is as far as it 

goes..

Those with those good looks,
it's all that matters, and it

shows..

Let 's go a little deeper to the
next layer  to see..

What a person has to offer..

If you please..

The intellect of a person is a must..

Some smart, some stupid, then some trust--

That they think they are intellectual ,
have some knowledge , they get by..

Hate to say it again , it's a small
portion of the pie..

Next layer is the spiritual .. Now 

we are getting somewhere..

We see the..agnostics, spiritualists, Elders,

Atheists, pastors, priests, Imams..

ALL In prayer..

But are they really as God would  have them to be?

Seeking wisdom brought down thru the ages

You see..

Do they seek the Wisdom of God and achieve..

Or is it more ritualistic and show their faith to believe?

So many will falter and fail..by their good works
 will whether and die...

"For God sent His only begotten

Son".. 

To die for all who  repent an souls as they cry..

"Forgive me Lord, for I am a sinner .. Come into my heart;

Forgive and make me whole".. 

"It is Your blood that redeems and washes away my sins, I have been told"..

"Make me clean as a new born child"..

"For it is you , Dear Jesus, that I believe I will  be 

Reconciled"..

With that simple trust and obey, 

I believe..

Will take you to be with Him in the presence of God, it Has been

concieved..

So the last of these layers  is the SOUL of a person,

Please understand..

And if you have not said that prayer giving redemption .. 

it is Now, my dear one , take His hand..

Do not let another day pass ..

Fall on your knees and ask,

God to forgive your sinfulness and be forgiven at last !!

Let your soul sing through

Each layer of your being..

"Praise the redeemer, sweet Jesus, I know now what I am seeing".. 

It's Pure Love !! for my blind eyes are gone ..

I will sing with the angels 

a beautiful  song..

"Praise be to God in the Highest,

My soul's been forgiven.. 

Thru His Son Jesus, he died

in my stead"..

"I will honor and give Him my life.. now and forever til  my time on earth's  

final bed "...

GRAND CANYON AND BEYOND...

Grand Canyon and Beyond..

(03-11 to 3-21-11)

I am so impressed with what I saw mile after mile..

It's altered landscape made me

Giggle and Smile..

From dry sagebrush, cactuses

To the mountains with

Junipers..

To Red Rock formations reaching 

High like an odd shaped  

Character ..

The Grand Canyon and all it's natural rugged beauty..  

Is so hard to explain and describe in words so absolutely ..

It's massive destructive landscaped by the Colorado  River..

Of millions of years like a massive chopping cleaver..

Chopping and showing  it's

 depth mile long Canyon..

Colors and shades your mind

can't imagine ..

My first sight was moving 

and Really quite touching ..

I wept at it's beauty ,

touched by God's Grandeur.. 

I cannot explain it's

breathtaking enormity..

Nor can I say of it's 

spectacular superiority ..

My senses were stunned by

how gorgeous and immense..

I was taken aback by

it's magnitude and contents ..

I will have to return to

this glorious Sight.. 

Where God spoke with His artistry of earth's natural plight.. 

Mile after scenic mile the colors of this heaven on earth.. 

When "in the beginning" God created this scene to tell of It's birth..

I have no doubt from

whense  it began ..

For it's layer upon layer 

as it tells of it's land..

Centuries  show of indian folklore..

 Etched on it's walls

as tells of it's core ..

Never negate what it 

says in it's beauty..

God's majesty at work,

 it is so absolute .. 

I was moved beyond words

so moved by God's work..

That my spirit rejoiced I knew the moment I looked..

Again I am reminded

 that God is in charge.. 

The universe is His, for

 it's massive and large ..

Never will I doubt or wonder again..

Just  look at this Canyon

..  be assured of His plan..

JARED MATTHEW

Jared Matthew

09-17-82

Just one more child,  I said to myself, just one more..

It's been how many years since I 

Had a baby to adore ??

I was so excited to plan and have you ..

Add one more to the "Morgan

Crew"..

Before I could even get those words from thought and mind..

Here your were ..a baby boy 

So fine!!

"Jared Matthew"..  so fair, healthy and cute!!

From your head to your tiny

Little foot!!

You were always a joy as a little

Boy..

Didn't need to play with a lot of

Toys..

Happy, adventurous, cute and smart..

Has always been that way from the very start..

Now that you are older trying to figure out your life..

Has always loved his world without turmoil and strife..

Always reaching for 'something new'..

Loves and has traveled..crossed the ocean blue...

Happy and content wherever he is..

Singing karaoke, making new friends..or minding his own

Biz..

Jared thinks well of himself with confidence galore..

Has always managed to open new doors..

Full of wonderment, joy, can be a little scattered...

Dresses and wears the style that 

Flatters..

Full of energy, colorful and sweet..

Studies hard, who can compete..

I am not quite sure he knows where his life will take him..

But bet your bottom dollar,

His cup runneth over so over the brim!! 

I am anxious to see what will be his fate..

Have no doubt he'll open every

gate..

He tackles life uncertainties with an open mind..

His eagerness is difficult and hard to find..

Keep your adventure, wonder

and charisma, dear child of 

Mine..

There's no one quite like you and that's a fact..

I Love  everything about you..

I'll sign a pact..

God be close as you journey through life  ..

It can be difficult and can cut like a knife ..

So my prayers go with you Jared, wherever you go..

Never lose your way, seek the guidance of friend and foe..

For the wisdom of others help guide your path .

Be brave, be strong and be certain of God's eternal wrath..

For He Loves you more than you could possibly grasp..

I know by faith He Loves you

Dearly..

Open your heart and mind,

Know his words securely..

He's knocking gently on your heart's door, dear one..

I pray you'll open and accept His Son..

He's more than any adventure you seek  on earth ..

Eternity is certain for you

on heaven's turf !!

Beyond the poem:

A message from Mom

My Love for you immense Jared!!

I Love everything about you and I believe in your dreams!! Keep on going ..reach to the stars and beyond!! Don't ever give up..  Even when the going gets tough!!

Love,

Mom

KINDNESS. .

KINDNESS... 

*WHERE does KINDNESS take me?"

*WHAT does KINDNESS show me?"

*WHEN KINDNESS is shared, how does it make a difference?"   

*HOW does an act KINDNESS 

help?"

KINDNESS takes me to others who need my help..

KINDNESS takes me down and

off the shelf..

KINDNESS has shown me that without it...

Life and people can be cruel

Unbearable, sarcastic..

KINDNESS , when shared..

 Brings levity, light 

and warmness..

A belief that life is worth living..

Otherwise, there is only 

Heartbreak in a world

 of  darkness..

An act of KINDNESS brings shelter, food,

a smile, a shoulder..

KINDNESS brings people  together and the world

 a lot less colder..

"Simple Acts of KINDNESS"..

 It is answers without

 any clues..

It is the only and right 

thing to do..

So make someone's day ..

Give them a hand..

It will feel more than okay..

Matthew 15 :29-33 (Jesus 

Filled with Compassion, KINDNESS and Love.. Feeds the Four thousand.)

SIMPLE ACTS OF KINDNESS ...

SIMPLE ACTS OF KINDNESS...

Why is it that simple acts of kindness are not so easy..

When you think about it..

Acts of kindness should be breezy..

Delightfully given, charitably driven,
carefully done to start  ..

Acts of kindness always should
be from  a thoughtful and loving  heart..

Loads of Love and easy to cart..

Brilliantly connived .. Superiorly

given to whoever it imparts..

. 

To bring  joy to the soul..

And a song to console..

 Pleasures immense  ..

Always intense ..

 Gloriously Profuse ..

 There's actually no excuse.... 

May we always think of others first..

There are many who need to be

Nursed...

Many who need a helping hand ..

And many more who could stand..

A soft hand to hold.. 

A shoulder to cry,

So big and bold..

Just to be a good friend..

To the bitter end..

Never to face adversity alone ..

This person should be cloned .. 

To serve and cater to others 

without payback..

To know they'll pick up 

the  slack.. 

Always got your back ..

Isn't that's how you want to be?

A caring example of the first

Degree!! 

I know that's who I want to

Be,,

A person you can count on .. 

Don't you agree ??

So let's change the world ,

You and me..

Forever caring and sharing 

to those in need..

So let's do this ..

It should be our 

solemn  plea..

FIRST MORNING LIGHT...

 FIRST MORNING LIGHT..

Today I woke up early , before first morning light..

Much on my mind , there was no  ray of light ..

Family on my mind, each child with life's burdens, turns and twists..

I lift them one by one before the throne of Grace..

I pray them health and answers, to recognize their God given 

Gifts ..

That they too can have the knowledge  that they have a special place ..

To seek the wisdom of the Father and his Son who gave his life ..

So that they can always know the peace  with each circumstance and strife ..

So as I feel and see the morning light appear..

My prayers and burdens said and whispered..

The weight of each seem to disappear..

So thank you Heavenly Father,

My Saviour and my Light..

I start my day anew knowing fully

It will be alright ..

Thank You precious Lord , I  give my day to you ..

Trod my path ahead so I can face each step so true..

2 Samuel : 37

WHO IS SHE??

Who is this little  old lady, who comes and visits daily ?

She stops by every morning and always wants to stay late ..

I see her in the mirror or as I pass a window glass..

She always  stays in stride with me ..

God knows I try to pass ..

She's crazy as a coot, she laughs at all my jokes..

If I didn't know much  better, she could be related to MY folks..

Her hair is getting thin and she colors it ta-boot!!

What ? She thinks it makes her

Younger? I've got news for her..

IT DON'T !!

Her boobs are long and saggy,
 her lips are creased and deep..

She is older than she thinks, 

My gawd,  she's such a creep !!

I try with all that's in  me, to ditch

Ol' Granny Tag a Long..

But everywhere I turn, 
she's right where I belong..

" Oh my goodness Gracious"

" Oh My  Stars , Good Grief"

For me there is no rest.. 

For me there is NO PEACE!!

  (My gawd, she talks like me)...

She's with me all day long..

She's with me night time too ..

I try to run and hide.. BUT,

She never  has a clue..

So tomorrow when I wake and  start 

another day ..

I am hoping she got lost,

It is all what I want and  pray !!

THE SMALL WONDERFUL THINGS IN LIFE...

“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” 

--Albert Einstein

Why bother with  more than the small wonderful things in life?

Why bother with the monstrosities and life lacking enormities of strife..

Zero in on the beautiful child that has just learned to smile..

Or your brother who just ran an extra mile..

How about the twinkle in your grandfather's eye for his

 loving wife...

For all the years they spent together..

You can't cut that happiness 

with a knife..

No my friend, it is the small tangible touch of a raindrop..   

The air we breath after a sweet summer rain..

Fresh cut flowers on the dinner table from Mom's garden..

So simple and plain..

White fluffy clouds dancing effortlessly  in the sky above..

While you walk  blissfully down a country road..

Free from disorder and a lackluster world without love..

It takes me away, far away from the world troubles so cold..

So next time a person or the pressures of life get you down..

Remember to look at the beautiful

side of life that is just beyond your door and easily  found..

You can leave it all behind in moments thought or a single bound ..

Get away from the life that seems to get  you down..

"It is the small wonderful things in life "..

They don't cost a dime and it is the best seat in town..

"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." 

(Hebrews 13:5)

GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD...

*****GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD...

I have so much I need to pray about today..

So much turmoil, misunderstanding,

unkindness and cruelity .

Yes, dear Lord , so much to I need to say ..

How do we get through each heartache without YOU near to guide our paths complete ..

Many do not know or wish to know., how cleansing it is to pray and leave it at your feet..

So humbly I pray for those who need your bread that fills and feeds the

our mortal souls..

That brilliant light that sheds truth upon our paths  as life brings hardships and takes it toll..

Give us your strength when life brings  tears and untold sorrows we can hardly bare..

Without your touch and loving ways we are like the blind from all who care..

Bring justice and patience to us in need..

 Who are quick to judge and are missing that essential

 key ..

May I always feel the sorrow  of my neighbors burdens 

and  pain..

And never lose sight of your

 Love I have been given 

and gained..

For if it wasn't for the pain of  Your suffering on Calvary..

It would all be in vain, an empty

vessel,  given so unsatisfactorily ..

So God I pray for all who suffer, who need your Love in their lives today .

For it is in your precious name I do solemnly pray..

That I may reach and bring your bread to a starving man..

To give him strength .. It is because of You that I  know I can..

Matthew 6: 9-13

John 6:51

MY FRIEND...

MY FRIEND..

My friend, I am so glad you are and stayed  my friend..

You have always been there for me,  right through the bitter end.. 

My friend, you've held my hand

 through sadness and my tears.. 

You never turn away ..

when others disappeared...

My friend you've never judged me when my opinions were loudly spoken..

You just smiled and shook your head..

 Our bond was never

broken...

My friend when others caved and left me for another..

You, my  friend,  stayed true..

while others didn't bother..

My friend you've given me  respect, sometimes I don't deserve ..

That is what I mean, true friendship at every turn..

My friend the years have flown so quickly I sadly say..

We grew old together,

 Weren't we young  just only yesterday..

My friend you may be someone I met the other day...

We knew in just an instant, we'd be friends to stay...

My friend it matters not when our journey started..

Your friendship means so much

I am so glad we never parted..

** this poem was written to my true friends I have cherished over the years of my life ..

You have given me strength in good times and bad..

You have accepted me, warts and all, without a question or a doubt ..

I realize I haven't always been easy to love ...  But, you gave support even though we may have

 disagreed !!!   That my friend,  is the test of true friendship .. To agree to diagree!!

I LOVE YOU..   " MY  FRIEND"..
