SANTA'S ARRIVAL-1989

It was a hot and shaky and yep foggy when Santa came to town,

'Don't you ever get any snow?, he queried with a frown. Nature must

have heard him, for it answered with a roar of powder which was whiter

than any was before. The clouds of powder rolled across the skies, snow

came thrashing down and filled up DIEGO'S streets till Santa thought he'd

freeze.

Trees crashed across the wires everywhere in the dark - 'Til Santa thrilled,

cried out, Where's Rudolf with my sleigh? When the snows abated Santa

went home and knelt in prayer, Please LORD, send some powder when I go

back there.

YOU

You'll always have a place in my heart

So we shall sow our treasures of love,

For with this gift - one is ne're to be

alone;

With this to be a letter within our souls

A lantern of sweet memories soars…..

Yes smile for, the days of yore;

Let us treasure the smiles before.

Mind's Eye

Your Portait shines forth

like the mystical light -

of kindness....your LOVE shows.

Though once of golden age I say;

N'er it matter for yes I simply

say my thanks.

ASKING

Is this thy purpose? ......

For as the seasons flow

Like the Intermission in

this life

For yet to master one�s

way,

I will sing a song of the

gifts of redemption

For your Fragrance of

FRIENDSHIP LORD

Returns with the breeze

as one�s LULLABY of STRENGTH.
