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.

Your Personal Poet,

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

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!

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

When you go to vote on Election Day
think of the Northern Lights
The miracle of their colors,
when caught within our sight,

And the great white bears beneath them,
struggling to stay alive
Even in normal conditions,
it is difficult for them to survive.
>
What conditions are abnormal?
A question you might ask.
It is a condition that is global. 
Will you be up to the task?

Of protecting the endangered,
from the brink of their extinction-
Yes I speak of Climate Change
I will make that very distinction.

Whether you believe it to be a hoax,
made up by scientists,
Or a bunch of commie liberals,
too chicken to enlist.

It does not matter either way-
whether climate change is natural,
Or if there is just some movement
by believers in the celestial.

In the warning color of RED,
A flag is waving high.
POLAR BEARS are drowning! 
Will you let them continue to die?

Please heed this dire warning,
for many species can not last
Climate change may be natural,
but it is happening WAY TOO FAST.

So remember on Election Day,
that each vote can make a difference.
We can accept the current climate,
or continue our earth’s existence.

AND VOTE!

Here is the poem I put into my letter of resignation at the law office I’ve been employed by for the last seven years.  I’m devoting all my time to Personal Verse.  Look for new items, posts, and pages in the coming month.

I thought I could continue
to stay on in a part time capacity
but it has become ever so clear
that would not be the best choice for me

To change the course of my journey
with this job I must have closure
so I may fully pursue my heart’s desire
that I must do this now, I am sure

Yet I am leaving heavy hearted
It has been quite difficult to let go
of the people I’ve grown to love
and a profession I’ve come to know

I’ve decided to leave my position
as your law office administrator
with this, my poem of resignation
and faith and trust in my Creator
