Promises

Dawn brings the promise of a starting new day

And robins show promise that spring’s on its way.

A proposal accepted, a promised new wife.

A baby’s small heartbeat, promised new life.

A bloom in spring with a promise of more

Big summer gardens promise colors galore.

My Father has promised to share in my sorrow

The promise from God means I fear not tomorrow.

The promise of Heaven

Means I’ll see you again.

This is what I do in my time at work!

Come and take a step inside, this world I call my own
Here inside this online net my home away from home
Come and meet all those that wonder all around these rooms
Come to see the games and fun, escape the gloom and doom.

Larien Annare our Beauty Queen regales us with an act
Sleeping Beauty, Belle from Beast so many its a fact

White Roses is my Cali friend I’ve known for many years
In that time we laughted ant talked and even shed some tears

SouthernKnight stands on a chair Debating many things
Such as the South and Civil War, and movies about Rings

Flueve Premier, if shes had coffee, will always be a hoot
Ask how she is today, she’ll probably say ‘goot goot’

Hopefullness is by a window ready with a prayer
No matter what is happening she always shows her care

MusiBeth will sing for you or play her violin
She loves talk of instruments from whistle to mandolin

Rand is grilling up a feast. Bugers, pasta, and cake
Everything each person asks for he is ready to make

Sabo is practicing to jump higher that ever
Each day on the high bar makes him better and better

M is over in a corner pen and paper near by
He writes poems and thinks up prose when not concing high

Ion’s bored and ready to go home from work
Then once again back to chatting sitting round in mIRC

Thats about it, I think we are done!
If ever you are bored you know where to come
Theres room for more so drop by, say hi
Theres always something going in the world of SAjMaKii!!

It is a little odd in the timing and reads a bit odd…..but I am blaming that on the fact that I wrote it over a period of a few hours with many interuptions!! heh

Fading to Blue

I feel it all tumble
As my world begins to crumble
Hard to breath, can’t even think
Walls close in, start to shrink
Tears are making my eyes blurry
Try to find footing, I must hurry
Things that I once thought I knew
Now all seem to fade to blue
Close my eyes and count to three
Pray back to normal soon all will be

Thoughts in my head

Dear reader at this moment
a request I have for you

Simple in word
simple in task
just think about the dew

In the morning as a blanket
laid upon the lawn

Sparkling drops of glitter
that by the noon are gone

Enjoyed by some at sun rise
these mirrors do not last

And by the time of sun set
from our minds have passed

Is it not the same sad way
with blessed that are given?

When they are new and shining still
our joy is never hidden

And yet when daylight slips away
and night falls round about

Thanksgiving is too soon replaced
by bitterness and doubt

Why are we only thankful
when the sun shines down its rays

And choose in darkness and bad times
to silent all our praise?

Does the dew not help the grass
only once it disappears?

Deep inside the root is where
the benefit appears

Though blessings seem to come and go
in times that drip on by

The One that gave them never sleeps
and reigns from up on high

Don’t let your praise,
like dew forgotten,
ever cease to be

For the gift He gave has not faded
that all man can be free.

The Love that I once felt for you has changed to something new.

The pain of loss has been replaced with worries now for you.

You changed so much before my eyes and with that, new emotion

Sometimes it seems you are not you, with not the same devotion

The tears at night no longer for the fact you do not know

Instead they mourn a friend so dear, who lost some of his glow

My mouth is shut, I will not say the thoughts I scream inside

Since if you heard, I do not doubt, you would run away to hide.

To ‘Our’ Soldiers

Sitting here trying to hold back the tears
As I think about people who all through the years
Have braved through trials and overcome fears

Those nameless figures with the unkown faces
In far away countries and such distant places
The tankers and bombers and high flying aces.

These days their faces aren’t nameless at all
They’re Franklyn and Thomas, Joshua and Paul
All people who heard it and answered the call

My family, my neighbors, best friends, new brothers
Who’d all be home safe if I had my druthers
Though I hear them saying, just like many others

“I’m needed here now, Lord please protect me.
Never forget us when down on your knee.
Someday I’ll be home, when these people are free.”

They come back as men, though they left us as boys
Not soon gone the days, of playing with toys.
The laughter and singing replaced by the noise

Of loud gunshots ringing, of fires and pain
Homesickness and sadness all for the gain
To make sure the others died not in vain

Lord give them courage, and strengthen each heart
Though from all their families, they are now apart
Help those that love You, show how great Thou art

Be with my friends, God, who fight now for You.
Remind them in Your name, all things they must do.
And make sure they know, that we love them too.
