God, are you busy? I'm in need of some advice I come to you For you are an essential part of my life Just like everyone else, I have problems Please renew my strength So I'm strong enough to solve them I feel for those who are worse off than me I've made many friends among my passions family God, why can't this be a perfect world? Is it because people would take it forgranted more than they already do? I know you're comsumed today With many people calling upon you God, do you know what it's like to feel down? You are always so cheerful Even when countless people speak to you Giving you an earful I send my love to you quite often I know you've received it When my heart starts to soften I'm thankful for your guidance And wonder what your voice would sound like? Thank You for being so forgiving Never limiting us to only three strikes! It's getting late, but before I go to sleep There are a few people I'd like you to bless for me First and formost, my family Though thick and thin they're there for me Also, Bless my passions family For without them there is no poetry! Bless Noah, my angel from above I'd be terribly lost without his tender love Thank you God, someday we'll be up there with you but for now please watch over them And see them through Lastly, bless all the animals in the world Especially cats and dogs They are playful creatures Who make us feel loved They are our house pets, they are our friends I heard having pets can help you live longer! Thank you God, Amen! |

Yes, I can certainly see how Kit's piece inspired this. You have written a wonderful piece also on your thoughts and prayers Joanna. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

My sister should outlive everyone. She has 38 cats, 5 dogs, numerous chickens, ducks, geese, and a goat...plus at least 30 hogs. Yes, she will outlive us all. A very good poem Joanna, well inspired. |

"I send my love to you quite often I know you've received it When my heart starts to soften" Oh Joanna ... I'm so thrilled that you were inspired to write this piece! That means so very much to me. You've expressed so much within these lines, and I can certainly relate to so much of what you've said here so beautifully from the heart. I'm the biggest fan of pets myself. As a child, I said the "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" prayer each night, while my mother sat beside me, and to this day, I remember my list perfectly ... "God bless mommy and daddy and all their friends, Cindy and Greg and all their friends, Gramma and Grampa and all their friends, and Suzy and all her friends" (Suzy was my dog, LOL). Ahhhh ... thanks for helping me to remember that. I feel like I just got a great big heart hug. Much enjoyed Joanna!  Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

She was the sweetest little grey poodle you've ever seen, and lived to be 14, Joanna. My brother and I would fight over whose bed she'd sleep in each night. My parents got so frustrated with us, they laid down the law and said my brother got "even" nights, and I got "odd" nights (but I'd still sneek in when he was asleep, and entice her out with a cookie, LOL.) I also got the better deal because if it was the 31st, I got her a second night in a row, because the 1st was another "odd" day, ROFL. Here's a pic of her on my web site. http://www.geocities.com/kwmccallum/suzy2.jpg (if that doesn't work, you may have to type it in manually, I don't think geocities lets me link back to my page)  Hugs, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 11-28-2001).] |
