Humpty Dumpty opened his eyes;Somewhat startled, there was surprise.Taking time now, looking around,He found he was high off the ground.Horrors! Panic! Almost a scream;Surely this must be a bad dream!For he’d never sit on a wall;Too much danger that he would fall.King’s men’s talents may be quite good;But putting him...

You measure your pleasure– to prevent being swept off your feet,But you may be preventing that pleasure from being complete.Being swept off your feet in the right way is something to prize;It’s not something that happens that often for, it’s a surprise;But it’s one that is plainly delightful, a giddy...

George Washington Carver was, Thank God, a black;Was born into slavery, 1864;Essentially orphaned, but never looked back;Determined to be something, not seen before.He centered on agriculture and the soil,His people, as sharecroppers, near to despair;Their land had been worn out, despite their toil.He showed them how to bring the land...

Before our teens we did not think of growing up;We weren’t concerned with a half-filled half-empty cup.Our likes and dislikes took no time at all to form;And living for the moment seemed to be the norm.The biggest thing we had to think about back thenWas just whose house or yard...

Again I am reminded, soon it’s Valentine’s Day,And now in the 6th Grade, careful how I post.For right now, in my teen years, certain ones hold swayMore than before, and those I really think of mostAnd more important now…leastwise that is how I feelRight now, although I know although I...

Perhaps we haven’t seen a New Year’s quite like this’The end to COVID-19, we don’t want to miss.This thing has caused us to do things not done before;It is far different than when we were at war.Instead of rationing, stuff really was not there.It limited our movement, something all would...

There are those places ins this world, now, it is said.Which are, at present, being haunted by the dead.While it is rare to have a “ghost” communicate,Or try to, neither do they seem to have a traitOf scaring people, although that we do ourselves—For we refuse to think that there...

That God helps those who help those who can’t help themselvesIs only one way that a godly effort delves.Into our actions, most often in such a wayWe never knew that God had been there, felt His play. His actions rarely will divert our history,But it has happened, sometimes very openly.Since...

Perhaps we haven’t seen a New Year’s quite like this’The end to COVID-19, we don’t want to miss.This thing has caused us to do things not done before;It is far different than when we were at war.Instead of rationing, stuff really was not there.It limited our movement, something all would...

This is, of course, my Christmas wish to all of you;May you find peace and happiness in all you do.There is a matter though I’d like to talk about,But I must warn you—don’t come into this with doubt.Do you believe in miracles? I think you should.We’ve had two thousand constant...

For more than two hundred and thirty yearsOur Constitution has performed quite well,Through all our triumphs, heartaches, blood and tears,It has been front and center through every spell. In truth, it does not subjugate at all;But that is where a basic danger lies.It succinctly makes Liberty its call.Which we, the...

Life on a farm may seem to be idyllic some;You come to know just where each day is coming from.Your nearest neighbor will be Nature, fresh and raw;And you soon learn you must abide with Nature’s law. But some will come to hate this never changing rut;A sense of feeling...

I figure I’m an expert rating a Gold Star,As having self-made experise at waiting in a car;I know there’s many like me, knowing how I feel,It makes no difference as to who’s behind the wheel.We are a special group to which we all belong.“I need to pick a few things...

Twinkle, twinkle, vast night sky,Pardon me for asking whyThe magnificence I seeActually depends on me,If I don’t see it that wayThere is nothing you could say’If such accolades shall beIt all comes to this: Why me? ©Richard Williams...

An act of kindness should not be unrecognized as such;But normally not given much of a praiseworthy touch.That isn’t needed, or expected in any shape or form;Spontaneous and unrehearsed, the act itself the norm.The opportunity for you to do good is not rare;But you will have to train yourself to...

For we were given, of this planet, full control;We dominate its fate, as well as ours, in whole.So who and what you are and think will only beThat singlet in the depth of mankind’s sea.Hence you, and all your human values, must employThe will of god not to demolish or...

The depths to which is possible to feelIs deeper than what you would take as real.Most of us feel we’re adequately defensedWith safety measures to what we’re against.Until it happens there’s no way to knowHow deep your feelings were, how strong a blow.We mourn what we now know we have...
