Mother Earth .. good morning

Good morning mother earth

Good morning mother earth I rise to greet the dawn
And breathe in all the air that comes forth from your yawn.
I see in every creature a little bit of you
Yes even in myself i can see the things you do.

You feed the world around us and provide all we need
you give birth to every creature; you are in every seed.
we often tend to ignore you and hurt you in many ways
Yet you continue to bless us and rule our nights and days

if only we could see you as your deserve o mother earth
we would treat more kindly and not descredit your worth
but we've become a little careless and so often fail to see
that you o mother earth provide so we can be..

I am sorry mother earth for the times i forgetfully
toss things upon you that disfigures your beauty
I will try to be more careful i am so grateful to you
for the beauty that you give to us for everything you do.

Everyone Has A Song

Everyone has a song

some will drive miles and miles to worship god in prayer
i enter into my heart and find Him waiting there
some feel its in the buildings that one reaches Heaven above
i find my heart is an altar and i worship through my love

everyone has different ways of speaking to the Divine
Some will go to temples and others to a shrine
Everyone has their path to take; no way is right or wrong
Whatever inspires you to goodness let this become your song

So sing whatever is in you and let others have their song
Respecting one another will carry us all along
The universe has given each of us a song from the heavens above
and if we sings ours correctly we will blend together in love

Lets Heal This World of Ours

Lets heal this world of ours


beating within this heart of mine
is a rhythm deep and true
it accompanies a melody from within
which i'd like to share with you
For its coming to me every night
and whispers to me every day
So if you don't mind me sharing
hear now what i'm going to say


everyone is worthy of rights;
everyone: worthy of love
no one should ever feel left out
or should they be made fun of
but seems we have our guidelines
that we allow society to make
and tend to adopt as very own
stereotypes from which we partake


So we create our little groupees
and we have our little cliques
"And if don't change to become like us
you can just stay there in the sticks"
"We are the priveleged people"
so many folks like to say.
Yet in their narrow mindedness
have hurt people along the way

i cannot understand this all
how so many "think" they're right
and claim to know whats good for all
by saying they bear the light
shutting the doors on so many
because they live a different way
i just cannot accept these ways
and look to a better day

When people accept each other
whether they are black or white
When it wont matter who you marry
to be found worthy in "gods sight"
When people will put aside their words
and see each other with love
when forms you fill out to vote wont ask
how you worship god above.

We are a people who need the light
that will enable us to see
That every person is worthy of love
no matter who they may be.
We all have our prejudices
which have caused so many scars
Today let us resolve to drop them all
and start healing this world of ours

I have this dream of peace

I have this dream of peace

I have this dream inside me
a dream I want to share
And write it out to pondered
by people everywhere
For I feel its not just my dream
but a dream for everyone
And hope I'm not presuming
by letting my ink pen run..


what is this dream you ask me
why write for everyone
is it something fearful
or something to be done?
Its nothing to be afraid of
rather something really dear
IF you continue reading
my dream will surface here

the dream that I have inside me
and I believe is in you too
is that we put aside all differences
and call for a peace that's true
For if we consider everything
what makes the headlines every day
Are crimes,wars and breakups
thngs that make the media say hurray

But these things are not our happiness
and we shoud strive for peace
If we'd embrace everyone with love
all our warring would soon cease
But we quabble over little things
things that shouldnt be
Oh if we could resolve as one world
to live in harmony..

Our world would be so much better
every person would be our friend
There'd be no more policing airports
and tapping phones would come to an end.
People wouldnt need to lock their doors
and prisons woudn't be full
Everyone would embrace as their own
that age old "golden rule"

Why is it so simple to dream like this
yet so hard for people do
Is making peace so much harder then
the warring we go through?
Is it much more difficult to say
I forgive lets stop the fight
then to send out thousands armed for war
in the middle of the night?

I have this dream inside of me
that one day we will come to see
All this fighting amongst ourselves
was never meant to be
We really fight too often and long
after we know why
Cant we just reasolve to day
to make peace our battle cry?

Everyone Has Rights

 Everyone has rights

 i took the blame for more then one

and was singled out for what i had done

spoke up for right was put down as wrong

and so  pen the words in   poetic  song

if you are courageous and you are

speaking out will carry a   scar

not letting the crowd  bully   their way

will have a price for which you will pay

if  you speak out, I'm sure you may

others will surely have their say

call you names and put your aside

tell you your wrong and full of pride.

Yet if we are silent before the wrong

Freedoms would die out before too long

Only the bullies will rule the day

The meek, the hurting will have no say.

We are the ones who can heal  or  hurt

Help others rise or feel like dirt

We  can choose the path that  we will walk

Choose to be silent or choose to talk

If others are wronged before our sight

Will we be silent or be a light?

Will we be willing to take some shame

And defend the dignity of anothers name?

Just thought I'd write for it seems to be

There should be a voice for equality

That somehow people will rise and say

"Every person has rights, don't take them away"

God Kissed My Soul This Morning

God Kissed my soul this morning


and filled me with His love

He whispered "not to worry,

I see everything from above

I know your joys and sorrows

I have counted all your tears

Nothing escapes my knowlege

I was with you all those years.



Be open to my whisperings

and receptive to my ways

I will come through many people

and brighten your cloudy days

I care for you so deeply

and you are a child of Mine

Let Me into Your being

so that through you I may shine."



I wept to hear Him speaking

to such a soul as I

I bowed before this knowledge

and humbly began to cry

For so long I carried burdens

others placed inside my care

And now I felt them lifting

as I approached Him with my prayer



He wasn't so high and mighty

that he shouted: "kneel nd pray"

But rather let me speak to Him

in my simple way

Isn't our God so wonderful;

He deals with you and me

As individual beings

As He created us to be.?

The War

The soldier I’ll never meet

was on my mind today;

And the wars, once so distant,

were no longer far away.

For I began a meditation

and found my spirit there:

I heard the bomb shells screaming

and saw the smoke filled air.

There in the midst of fighting

and all the wounded ones;

I could hear the rattle of bullets

coming forth from their guns.

Men were fighting men

they never met before,

Oh what terrible things happen

whenever we go to war.

As I ventured further ,

I could hear a young one cry;

For the war had done him in;

and he was soon to die.

“What will my parents think,

O Lord help them see this through..

What I have done was truly noble

and now I have come to you”

Then there was another

who didn’t know our Lord most High

His words were quite different

when he was going to die:

“What of all this fighting,

what of this unending war?

Now, I am going to die,

There’s nothing left, no more“.

So many innocent children

will no longer see the morn.

For a missle’s blast had left them

lifeless and so torn.

Old and young alike,

their lives suddenly cut short

By the war advancing further;

leaving them nowhere to resort.

Though I’ll never see the warzone

My heart is moved to pray:

For I realize that the fighting

is really not so far away.

And that the unknown soldiers

who fight for you and me

Do so at a price, so that

we can continue to live and be free;

The Heart of Our Father In Heaven

The heart of our Father in Heaven

is only an ocean of love

Waiting to fill us completely

with His Blessings from up above

He sends us the angels to guide us

and protect us along the way

And even if we have fallen

He will still give us a brand new day.



The heart of our Father in Heaven

is not limited like our ways

He can chasten us at any moment

; yet forgive all our wasted days

WHat a comfort to have such a Haven

to have a Father so loving and kind

In HIm we will always find welcome

and always find peace of mind..

The Way

I walked a path so far unknown
chasing dreams I could not see
Ideas I held were not my own
Yet were so much a part of me

The way it led me here and there
though never where I was suppose to be
Paths uncertain everywhere
Destinations, yet to see.

I continue on in Your Pure Light
Though darkness pulls from every side
I will not listen to the night
From all temptations I will hide.

Until the day I breath no more
and angels come to take my soul
I will follow You whom I adore
My one and only truest Goal.

Thank You Dear Soldiers

Onto the battlefield you went





without knowing what would be



You said goodbye not knowing



what you were going to see



You left the warmth of family



you left all you ever knew



To protect us through your service



so this poem is for you.



Thank you for your service



and for leaving all behind



For all the hours of fighting



and the terrors you did find.



Thank you for the sacrifice,



for all the tears you shed



Thank you for going on



when your heart was filled with dread.



Thank you American Soldier



where ever you may be



Whether you are still fighting



or now back with your family



You are truly a hero for all



and I wanted to say this to you



You are appreciated and loved



and this poem is just fo you!

A song for today

I hear in my heart a melody
a song for this very day
It echoes within my being
and thus i am moved to say
WHy is it we're stuck on differences
and why can't we get along
Why is we find such much happiness:
pointing out another's wrong?
We can make this a better world
if we're willing to try
To work together with everyone
even if we don't see eye to eye.
It's not about what wrong "they've" done
but rather on what we can do right
Let's resolve to change our vision
and see everyone in God's light

An Angel Came My Way

An angel came my way
and whispered in my ear
God wants you to be happy
and cast away all fear.
She told me God is loving
and wants us all to be
Rooted in His word
This angel's name: Cindy.

There's something about the angels
that come to you and me.
They always carry hope
always help us to see
If we open up our eyes
each and every day
We won't miss the angels
God sends along our way..

Happy Birthday Blessed Mother!!

For God Alone

When we do things for other people
when we help someone in need?
Why do we think others must know of it
and applaud us for our deed?
Why can we not give without reward
why must everyone know?
If we do things for God alone
why is there so much show?

Why can't we be truly giving souls
and give with purest love
Not seeking recognition from anyone
except from God above.
We claim to be in love with God
and do things only for love?
Let us prove this by a humble life
seen only by God above.

In Your Will O Lord

Like Jonah I tried to run
from the call within my heart
Someone else can do this
let someone else do my part
I much rather take it easy
then have to speak Your Word
Yet my spirit burned within me
by the words that I had heard.

You spoke to me of callings
and of promises made to You
And showed me the fiery pit that awaited
those doing what they shouldn't do.
In Your Will, You said to me
Is where all shall find their peace.
May I ever be found there,Lord
in You Will, I beg You, please.

The Users

In life you have those people

who have that certain knack

Of borrowing from everybody

but never giving back.

They know you in their need

then quickly disappear

We call them greedy users

such people you should fear.


For They'll rob you of your last penny

without breaking the law

Convince you they're the neediest

that you ever saw.

Once you've given into their pleading

and handed out to them your green

They disappear again

and even treat you mean.


The moral to this story

is to be prudent how you give

Prefering to buy for the needy

the things they need to live

Hand out to no one money;

this will keep you in the green

And more then likely the users

will never more be heard from or seen.

Priorities

What are you looking for oh my soul
what are you trying to find
What is it that you are pursuing
what thoughts busy your mind

What is it thats important to you
what carries you through the day
What value do you put on your work
what limits the time you pray

What does it matter what others do
what causes you to compare?
What will help you focus on God alone
what will make your life a prayer?

(c) Joy Pachowicz 2010

Do you love Jesus?

Do you love Jesus
do you walk in all HIs ways
Is your life a melody
that offers Jesus praise?
Do you really love Him
do people see that glow
That says you are His follower
without any show


Jesus wants your answer
think about it for awhile
How will you show you love Him
what will be your style?
Do you really love Him,
Do you love Jesus every day?
IF you do it will be evident
by all you do and say.

The Path of Love

The courtesy we owe each other
a mandate from God above
Is that we extend to every person
our Father's Gift of Love
For freely we have received it
in turn we should freely give
Loving one another
for as long as we should live.

Jesus, God's love among us
Gave His life for all.
He welcomed the dreaded sinner
and favored the weak and small.
If we say we follow Jesus
and accept all His ways
We will walk the path of love
for all our earthly days.

(c)Joy Pachowicz 2010

You Holy Will:

O my dearest Jesus,
I am kneeling here today;
Asking that you would help me
to please you in every way.
From the moment that I awaken
until night when I sleep:
May Your Will be my only ambtion,
the only Goal I keep.

Though activities may plague me
from morning unto night
Though at times life may be burdensome
and other times light:
My desire will be to please you
and all your plans fulfill
From Morning until evening
may I be found always in Your Will.
