Frodo Baggins, Moab, UT, November 8, 2009

Our dear Frodo will be all right!
Thanks for all your prayers and Light!
The growth that caused us so much fear
is merely a polyp deep in his ear
Though there’s another vet for him to see
and it looks like he’ll need surgery
The biopsy came back, it was benign
that means our doggie will be just fine
It’s the best outcome we could get
for years more joy with our beloved pet!

Frodo says WOOF!

I beseech you all to pray for my dog
A strange request upon this blog
But Frodo has a growth near his inner ear
And this discovery has caused some fear
The vet will prod further to find out why
This inner ear growth makes Frodo cry
So in the meantime I ask you to pray
That whatever pains him will go away
And when the x-rays and diagnosis are done
Pray that Jim and I will accept any outcome

Frodo Baggins will be 10 years old on November 26, 2009.

When I hear the same suggestion from many different sources, I better listen.  Over the past week I have heard from several people that Personal Verse should offer song lyrics.  So, here is a lyrical version of an earlier post, “Truth is True”.  Only lyrics are offered, as the extent of my musical talent ended in the fifth grade with my rendition on the trumpet of “This Land Is Your Land” at the school recital.  It sounded like I was playing underwater as I forgot to empty the spit valve.  But I digress…

Truth is True

Chorus
I know the Truth about you
I know the Truth about me
I know that Truth is True
and only Truth will be

Let go of your denial
For you are not on trial
there will be no sentence
nor need for repentance
Your source of confusion
is belief in illusion

-Chorus-

There isn’t anything you lack
no need to come back
for another life to live
there is nothing to forgive
You can easily begin
to see a world without sin
through non-judging eyes
The truth you’ll realize

And know the Truth about you
And know the Truth about me
And know that Truth is true
And only Truth will be

On a visit to my Uncle Rick and Aunt Karen’s, we have found ourselves attending memorial services…

Though to a Doctor of English
these rhymes may be drivel
Karen has always inspired me
and spared me literary snivel

When I blasted an e-mail
about living in a red state
Karen’s was the first response
because she could commiserate

I looked up to Aunt Karen
over so many years
as a woman of independence
with the courage to face her fears

She has a keen sense of humor
and an intelligent wit
not scared to point out
when the village has an idiot

I love my Aunt Karen
and I really do miss her
I was hoping that on this visit
I would get to hug and kiss her

But instead I’m hearing stories
more than I ever did know
seems funny that we wait
until it is time to go

If there was one message
I thought Aunt Karen was giving
It would be to seize the day
because life is for living

to learn more about my Aunt Karen

For “Locks Of Love” this sonnet is written
to celebrate my shortest haircut ever
a look with which I am totally smitten
I am amazed at how much I could sever!
Having made a donation two times before
but growing enough to keep a shoulder length
such a drastic change no one could ignore
I feared like Sampson, I could lose my strength
Yet I looked in the mirror and saw not a fright
as I held my ponytail up high
my new style was such a delight
that I encourage others to give it a try!
To cutting such lengths, many may scoff
but along with the inches, I took ten years off!

 If you would like to donate your hair go to:

I know the Truth about you
though you may be in denial
you need not build a case
for you are not on trial

I know the Truth about you
and the pain you feel inside
fighting to maintain illusion
but you can no longer hide

Because I know the Truth
and the way that I can tell
is having been there myself
I’ve lived in that same hell

I remember the guilt and shame
always feeling so crucified
so that my every action
somehow HAD to be justified

I am not your judge or jury
here to give you some sentence
nor am I minister or priest
demanding your repentence

I know the Truth about you
because I know the Truth about me
We are perfect Children of God
it is the Light in you I see

No matter how you try to cloak it
through your seeming sense of lack
no matter how you try to repel it
seeing only injustice and attack

I can see the Light in you
a beam of Divine perfection
shining so brightly from you
I can see my own reflection

It is the Truth of who you are
It is the only thing I know
It is, was, and always has been
though you struggle with letting it show

So I will be vigilant
in doing the part that is mine
and know the Truth about you
whether or not you let it shine

Here is a poem to share with others this Holiday Season. Personal Verse continues the Holiday Gift Special of a set of FREE NOTECARDS with the purchase of a custom poem.

With winter upon us
and loved ones near
we celebrate the Holidays
with good will and cheer
putting problems aside
and situations we fear
Let’s take all of our joy
with us into the New Year
in an inspired direction
onward we shall steer
though some may scoff
and snicker and sneer
we can behold the Truth
that is ever so clear
that Love is not novelty
for a seasonal premiere
but All that We Are
and has always been here
so I say now to everyone
to get it in gear
and share Only Love
The Gift most sincere
