ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends
&
HAPPY NEW YEAR

I hope you all had a merry Christmas
or whatever you celebrate.  Judy and I
had a wonderful Christmas.  We went
to Caribou Maine and spent Christmas
Eve with the family and then came home
and watched Christmas movies.  Then
Christmas day,  Judy fixed us a nice lil
Christmas dinner and we are still busy
picking the ham to pieces and all that
was left LOL.  We watched Christmas
movies most of the day.  🙂 We’re still
watching Christmas movies when we
get a chance.  Our grandson Christian
came yesterday (Saturday) and is now
spending the weekend with us.  There
isn’t much else to tell,  besides that,  I
don’t want to spend too much time on
this article,  being I would much rather
spend some time with Christian.  So,
I’ll tell you the quick things hehehehe.
We’ve still got quite a bit of snow and
it snowed again Friday.  Yes we had a
white Christmas,  although,  it didn’t
snow then,  but we still had a lot of that
white stuff on the ground 🙂  I took a
little vacation from writing last week.
LOL I wrote a little bit,  but not even
half of what I usually write.  Hey,  it
was Christmas ya know HoHoHo.  I
called my mom up and wished her a
merry Christmas.  Thankfully,  my
sister Peggy went and spent Christmas
Eve with mom.  Thank you Peggy 🙂
I hope you had a merry Christmas as
well.  God has been good to Judy and
I.  He’s put people in our lives that
have become just like family and He
has also kept His mighty hands over us
protecting us.  Thank You my Lord.
So,  now I do believe it’s time for me
to be looking back on all that I have
written here to see if I can find me a
good word or phrase that I can use
for the title for today’s brand new
poem.  And so,  it’s away I go to that
little place of my recollection that I
like to call RECOLLECT VILLE…
I think I may have found a decent
title just a few lines back hehehehe.
Now to hopefully write something
that makes a little bit of sense using
it :).  Here goes nothing…

I Do Believe

The signs of times
within history
are what reminds
what God gave free.
His love so true
with each passing day
becomes so clear
as we kneel and pray.
He watches and waits
for us to decide
to seek for His love
to live deep inside.
For I do believe
His love will win
giving us Heaven
even when we sin.
He sent us His Son
to help us survive
and find a pathway
to the great prize.
Heaven awaits us
if we’ll turn around
and seek His love
upon higher ground.
We must each decide
what paths we weave,
for now is a chance
for I do believe.

I hope you enjoyed the poem and you
got something out of it.  I also hope you
enjoyed my rambling.  It was quite a bit
shorter than normal huh hehehe.  Judy
and I hope that the New Year brings you
many blessings.  Stay well and safe.  Well,
There’s not much else to tell you except
of course what I tell you every week and
that is,  I wrote some more poems and
haiku.  This week I only wrote 4 poems
and no Christmas poems.  I did though
write 22 haiku for all of the haiku lovers
out there.  I hope you can find 1 or 2 of
either or both that you like.  Now,  to try
and find that hardly elusive off switch,
but not before I wish you a Happy New
Year and a wonderful week.  I’ll see you
next year 🙂  Now to find that ornery off
switch.  Hmm,  gettig lazy are ya,  or are
you doing as I did,  taking a little break?
So OK,  you did try to hide,  sort of LOL.
Right behind my glass of orange juice 🙂
Gotcha,  see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

God bless from Bill,  Judy,  Benny,  Rocky
and the spirit of Milo Pearce

Virtual Peace

Within a photo
that time brought true
a virtual dream
can come in view.
A virtual moment
found with a smile
a time you remember
now out of style.
A virtual peace
that begins its vision
as time moves on
the roads we’ve driven.
Life’s as a turnstile
a rhythm of roads
that time carries on
life by the loads.
Lingering memories
become such a view
that moments envelop
all that is new.
Then is just a shadow
a glimmer of time
found as a memory
then so divine.
Some virtual peace
becomes clear to see
as a page within page
of a blissful degree.
So look at a photo
and find some release
tucked there within it
as virtual peace.

Simple Smiles

Look within
and find a way
to move ahead
from day to day.
Find a smile
within your view
and then begin
its view in you.
A simple smile
can open scenes
minutes passing
seasons dreams.
Take the time
to look ahead
and find a view
to then bewed.
Marry it to
your view today
and then smile
a bright array.
Allow for time
that life compiles
to find within it
simple smiles.

With Life

Time on Earth
is now and past
with some scenes
we wish to last.
Links to then
become insane
for we’ve sought
so much to gain.
Beyond our view
might be a time
a sight to see
that is sublime.
For with life
is time’s display
filled with hope
for another day.
Yet we need to
search within
and find a path
to then begin.
A journey to
and journey fro
the light of life
to help us grow.
Finding times
a faded hue
and giving them
a better view.
Allowing life
of time and date
to not to meet
a similar fate.
Look for life
within a dream
to then create
another scene.
A scene of truth
a scene of life
filled with hope
and less of strife.

Midnight Dreams

Some faded light
and starry haze
gives the moon
for ones to gaze.
Time becomes
 a midnight tour
with the essence
life’s allure.
A cloudy night
of certain scenes
much like oceans
or like streams.
Seasons change
as clouds drift by
in the midnight
dreamers sky.
A lowly page
is turned in time
giving ones
a sky’s design.
Just like a stage
with actors white
clouds drift by
with such a sight.
Becoming scenes
we dream so true
to give our sleep
a wondrous view.
This is called our
midnight dreams
clouds becoming
whitish streams.

Haiku
for Dec 29,  2018

Life is a story
written with many lifestyles
some don’t understand.

Moment’s perception
could be a misconception
viewed in a hurry.

Alone in a room
you might hear many movements
spirits watching you.

Time is the seconds
that creates many choices,
sometimes illusions.

Leaving with anger
can bring about much regret
as you remember.

Lost down an old road
dust of life might hide real well
the much better scenes.

Essence of slumber
can be a dreamers charade
displayed as our wants.

A forest of thought
can imagine a doorway
to another place.

Shadows of ourselves
are found in many others
that see us daily.

Above and beyond
is a notion of hopeful,
often unable.

The leaves of autumn
display their welcoming sight
as winter’s doorway.

Looking far and wide
can cause a moment of loss
as now eludes you.

Grass is like our lives
as some think ones are better,
but perception lies.

Links to a lifestyle
can become an illusion
we think of as real.

Chance is a moment
that comes and goes in our lives
some good and some bad.

Bitterness of life
can unlock many pathways
within loneliness.

In search of a time
you might overlook blessings
right in front of you.

A snowy winter
displays chance for a snowman
to stand big and round.

Today’s tomorrows
might hold yesterdays visions
that were just a dream.

Springtime awakens
when winter’s fallen asleep
leaving melting snow.

Through many windows
there are different visions
we’ve chosen to see.

Loneliness will grow
if you’ve created a wall
inside of your mind.
