“Little
Brother”
Little
brother sitting across from me,
Off
in his own little world,
Staring
at nothing.
Little
brother standing next to me,
Tightly
squeezes my hand,
As
he goes off into the world.
Little
brother on the phone with me,
Telling
me of how he’s in love,
Of
how he’s ready to commit.
Little
brother standing before me,
Giving
me a hug,
Thanking
me for everything.
Little
brother sitting across from me,
Off
in his own little world,
Staring
at nothing.
LIFE IS LIKE A PUZZLE
Life is like a puzzle,
Color makes all the
difference.
A one-color puzzle wouldn’t
be very interesting.
Thank goodness, God gave us
color.
Life is like a puzzle.
But some people like a
one-color puzzle.
Others like only a two-color
puzzle.
But I prefer a multi-color
puzzle.
Life is like a puzzle.
Imagine a world with just
blues or greens.
Perhaps reds or yellows or
purples.
Browns or blacks or oranges.
Life is like a puzzle.
Just one color is awfully
plain.
Try some red with your blue.
Or how about purple with
your orange.
Life is like a puzzle.
Color makes all the
difference.
Maybe now you’ll add some
more colors to your life.
Thank goodness, God gave us
color.
HE AND SHE
All I ever hear from their
room is yelling.
Nothing is quiet when He
gets home.
She yells right back at him.
Why won’t they stop
fighting?
My friend, who lives on the
top most floor,
Can hear them yelling on
second floor.
My friend says He beats her,
And She hits him back.
The doorman says,
They have been fighting ever
since they moved in.
I’m surprised they haven’t
broken up.
They should have a long time
ago.
Tony, the bellboy, says,
I ain’t going up there if
He’s home.
He just yells at me for no
reason.
She just lets him do it.
Tina, her friend, tells me,
They were never meant to be
together.
He was having an affair,
With her sister.
Tara, his sister, agrees
with Tina.
Only Tara says it was Tina
He was
Having the affair with.
Which gets Tina and Tara
yelling.
Then Tyler, her brother,
says
It was my sister having an
affair with
The best man,
His best friend.
But Tara says,
There is no way my
boyfriend,
Would have an affair with
His fiancée.
There just is no way.
Why won’t they stop fighting?
From everything I heard,
Perhaps they both had an
affair.
Why don’t they just get a
divorce?
Christmas
The children dance with anticipation,
As the Christmas story is read.
For the little kids,
Can't wait to open the presents.
One little girl opened her
present,
And was surprised to find the doll she had wanted.
Her eyes started to fill with tears.
The little boy next her opened his present,
He looked in the box to see the train he had wished for.
He smiled through his tears.
The mother looked at them,
Known the presents weren't much.
She had hoped they'd be enough,
To make the children happy this Christmas day.
The father smiled at his children,
As he remembered the Christmas' of his past.
He knew that they would cherish their presents,
As it was rare to get something as nice as those.
That Christmas the children realized,
That even though they didn't get a lot of presents,
Their parents loved them and would do what they could,
To get the children what the wanted for Christmas.
A SIMPLE RING
A simple ring,
just a band of
silver,
with a red stone.
A simple ring,
made by a tradesman,
for a queen.
A simple ring,
thought to be lost,
forever on this
earth.
A simple ring,
found by a merchant,
and made ready to
sell.
A simple ring,
caught the eye of a
man,
that bought the ring.
A simple ring,
bought by a man,
for his loved one.
A simple ring,
the man gave,
to his wife to be.
A simple ring,
the woman wears,
as a wedding band.
A simple ring,
just a band of
silver,
with a red stone.
