Don’t we all have the right to be wrong now and then I certainly hope so; otherwise, I would have no friends If I were right all the time, It would certainly be a crime Nobody would put up with me, not even my spouse, you see Lord, give me the wisdom to see how others view me Wisdom I know comes from you. Please, God, give me a dose too September 29, 2023 MarkWaldrop
In honor of K9 Rico, brave and true, A hero so faithful with a heart so pure. He stood by their side, his loyalty sure, In the line of duty, he paid his due. SLED Chief Mark Keel, with somber tone, Announced the loss, a heavy toll. K9 Rico, with courage in his soul, With every bark, with every stride, He answered the call, never to hide. A guardian of law, by their side, In his memory, our hearts swell with pride. In the quiet of night, under the stars' soft glow, We remember K9 Rico, a noble fellow. He gave his all, his bravery aglow, For his fellow officers, he'll forever be a hero. Created by MarkWaldrop

Catch the foxes, small and sly, In vineyards where blossoms lie, Guard our vines, so sweet and fair, From these thieves that prowl out there The vineyards of our life we view with care To keep the little foxes from driving us to despair Life is a trail of many crooks and turns We must control our hearts for which they yearn The little thrives so sly and quick Moving so fast, trying every trick Be alert and keep your focus Least the little foxes cause hocus-pocus September 28, 2023 MarkWaldrop

In life’s gentle flow, blessings quietly bestow, Miracles around, wherever you may go. Moments of grace, like a soft, hidden glow, In the midst of chaos, they quietly show. A world of wonder, a celestial tableau, Each step you take, let your heart aglow. For in the ordinary, there’s beauty to sow, Embrace the magic, let your spirit grow. Created by MarkWaldrop
In the quietness of my soul I feel God’s Majesty unfold As the soft wind blows through the trees I feel His presence as I go to my knees One moment of silence is greater than all the sounds on earth Through listening to the silence of God I found rebirth I have a new song beating in my heart today Thank You, God, for sending your love my way September 25, 2023 MarkWaldrop
Kindness changes things, I must say It will send the bitter heart far away Kindness will change all things around you Many adverse conditions it will bring you through A little kindness goes a very long way Changing the most hardened heart of clay Kindness is most infectious, creating a vast epidemic Spreading like wildlife in the hearts of the most systemic Kindness overcomes much hate in the world today Thank You, God, for the kindness You sent my way September 24, 2023 MarkWaldrop
