In battles fought, in scars they bear, Veterans stand, a solemn prayer. Freedom's price, they've truly known, Their courage, a legacy sown. Through wars and trials, they have stood, A testament to brotherhood. Our duty clear, to safeguard the gain, For their sacrifice, not in vain. Let gratitude be our heartfelt song, For veterans brave, courageous and strong. A pledge to keep the flame alight, To honor them, both day and night. November 11, 2023 MarkWaldrop
The Holy City In Charleston, the "Holy City" stands so proud, Where faith and tolerance blend in the crowd. With history rich in religious grace, Over 400 steeples in this sacred place. A tapestry of beliefs, a vibrant array, In Charleston, all religions find their way. From churches old to temples bright and new, Diverse in faith, yet unity in view. The skyline's silhouette adorned with care, A testament to the many prayers we share. In this melting pot of beliefs, we see, Charleston's spirit in harmony. Created by MarkWaldrop
In autumn's embrace, the world transforms, With hues of gold and red, nature performs. A symphony of colors, a painter's delight, In fall's gentle embrace, everything feels right. Leaves flutter down like confetti from the trees, Carried by the breeze, dancing with ease. The air is filled with fragrances so sweet, Crisp apples, pumpkin spice, a cozy retreat. As daylight wanes, the firelight glows, In the hearth's warm embrace, stories compose. Fall's magic whispers in every cool night, A season of wonder, a pure delight. So let's savor this moment, let's take it all in, For fall is a treasure, where memories begin. With colors and aromas that fill the air, In this wonderful season, we find joy everywhere.

Summer is my favorite time of year Good friends swimming holes and my favorite beer The cool of the shade the chilled water from the spring Lying under the old oak tree listening to the Blue Birds sing Fond memories of summer vacations at the seashore Memories of the invigorating smell of the salty sea air The sand between my toes as I dodge the sea turtles on the shore All good things must come to an end my heart burning for more Looking forward to next summer I must say Always looking ahead and planning the next day Dear God thank you for the Seasons of the year The memory of each one brings a joyous tear June 21, 2023 MarkWaldrop

Mothers Are very special and dear We keep our Mothers so very near It was in her womb we started our life Her Love she gave with much sacrifice From infancy through eternity A Mother’s Love will remain fervently A Mother’s love covers all No matter where we might fall We thank the LORD for Our Mothers every day For their the ones that taught us to pray
Have you seen Jesus? He's not in the tomb. Look, He might be standing in the room. So many don't look till they need His Help. He doesn't mind. He will always respond to your call for Help. If I had only known earlier in life I could have avoided much less strife. Whether now or whether then He is patiently waiting for all men. April 9, 2023 MarkWaldrop

Spring is such a wonderful time of year A moment to me that is so very dear As all of God's creation comes alive Everything He made begins to thrive The birds sing the wildflowers bloom Each bud infuses its faint perfume Bees dance from blossom to blossom all our woes and cares are forgotten The fragrance of spring rains and new-mown hay It brings fond memories of an earlier day Refreshing my spirit with a new spring in my step I bow my head, thanking God for His continual help Zec 10:1 Ask rain from the LORD in the season of the spring rain, from the LORD who makes the storm clouds, and he will give them showers of rain, to everyone the vegetation in the field.
