The Magic of Love, The Power of Miracles

Featured

Christmas comes with a gentle glow,
A season of wonders, hearts to know.
A time to believe, to hold, to see,
The magic of love in you and me.

The twinkle of lights, the carols sung,
The joy of gifts for old and young.
Yet deeper still, a truth appears,
The power of miracles through the years.

A babe in a manger, humble and small,
Bringing a hope that transcends us all.
A love so pure, it lights the way,
Through winter nights and every day.

So let us believe in the season’s charm,
In hearts that heal, in hands that warm.
For Christmas reminds us of what’s divine:
The miracle of love, your heart, and mine.

Dogs Live

Dogs die. But oh, how they live,
Every moment, they have love to give.
They bound through life, so brave and true,
With hearts that shine in all they do.

They guard their homes, their chosen pack,
With courage strong, they never look back.
Their wagging tails, their playful cheer,
Make every day feel bright and clear.

They don’t fear tomorrow, nor dwell on the past,
They savor each moment, knowing it won’t last.
They teach us joy, pure and unrefined,
A lesson in living we often can’t find.

So, though dogs die, they leave us their light,
A love eternal, a beacon so bright.
For in their short lives, they show us the way,
To live fully, to love, every single day.

Living Example of Humanity

Screenshot
Amid the frozen mountain’s breath,
Where life contends with icy death,
A mother goat, her labor near,
Faced nature’s trial, sharp and sheer.

A shepherdess, so brave and kind,
With strength of heart and steadfast mind,
Bent to the task, no thought of rest,
She bore the mother on her chest.

Beside her, loyal through the storm,
Her faithful dog, a steadfast form,
Took up the baby, frail and new,
And carried life where none else knew.

Through jagged paths and bitter cold,
A tale of courage, fierce and bold,
Unfolded on that mountain steep,
Where love and care refused to sleep.

A frozen world, a beating heart,
Each playing their heroic part,
A girl, a dog, a life to save,
Humanity’s finest—pure and brave.

So let this moment, caught in frame,
Forever speak of love’s great claim,
That even in the harshest lands,
Hope endures by human hands.

Walk With Me

Walk with me; don’t just walk me,
Feel the world as I feel it to be.
Slow your steps, let time unwind,
There’s wonder here if you’re inclined.

The autumn chill, crisp and rare,
Carries whispers in the air.
Leaves crunch beneath my eager paws,
Each one a tale, each scent a cause.

A squirrel darts, its heart a drum,
The wind hums tunes from where it’s come.
Traces linger, faint yet true—
A cat, a flower, a morning dew.

You tug the leash, your thoughts elsewhere,
Yet the world is calling, rich and fair.
The sun spills gold through branch and bough,
Its fleeting beauty whispers “now.”

Hear the leaves, their rhythm sweet,
Like nature’s music at our feet.
Feel the air, cool, alive,
This is where our souls revive.

For me, this walk is a grand parade,
An endless story freshly made.
Each scent, each sound, a vivid clue,
A tapestry of life in view.

So pause a while, let stillness reign,
Feel the earth and shed the strain.
Walk with me, don’t just walk me,
Discover the magic I long for you to see.

Trust You Will Find

Trust, they say, is hard to find,
In faces and words that sometimes blind.
But if it barks or purrs, warm and true,
There’s a certain light that shines through.

A tail that wags, a gentle purr,
No hidden motives, no doubt to stir.
For in their eyes, so clear and bright,
You find a friend who holds you tight.

They won’t betray or let you down,
They’re there to lift you when you drown.
A bark, a meow, a loyal stare—
You know for sure, true love is there.

So if you seek a trust you’ll find,
In paws and whiskers, pure and kind,
Look no further—your friend is near,
With open heart and spirit clear.

A Gift From Above

Dog spelled backwards is God, a divine little twist,
A reminder, perhaps, that He couldn’t resist.
For dogs are His way of saying with grace,
“I’ll give you a friend to brighten your days.”

They walk by our side with loyalty pure,
A steadfast companion through trials, for sure.
With eyes full of love, a spirit so true,
They’re heaven’s own gift, a light to pursue.

Through laughter and tears, in moments we roam,
Dogs prove that God didn’t want us alone.
With paws soft and gentle, they comfort and heal,
In their quiet devotion, God’s love we feel.

So treasure your dog, this gift from above,
A symbol of loyalty, patience, and love.
For in every wag, every nuzzle and sigh,
Is God’s gentle whisper, “I’m always nearby.”

In Silent Grace

It’s not the words we speak or sounds we share,
But something deeper, soft and rare.
Not in phrases, not in lines,
But in the spaces where the heart inclines.

True understanding blooms unseen,
In glances felt, in moments serene.
For language fades, it slips and breaks,
Yet feeling stays, and truth it makes.

It’s not in accents, nor in tone,
But in the warmth that’s softly grown,
Between two souls, in silent grace,
In love’s own quiet, sacred place.

So let us share beyond what’s heard,
In feelings felt, not merely words.
For only hearts that feel as one
Will understand when speech is done.

A Bark Away

Illustration by Steve Anderson
Heaven is just a bark away,
A wagging tail, a joyful play.
Where paws leave prints in stardust skies,
And loving gazes never die.

A place where fetch goes on for miles,
And every day brings endless smiles.
A land where treats fall like the rain,
And old aches vanish, leaving no pain.

The fields are wide, the rivers clear,
With friends we’ve lost, now waiting here.
They run, they leap, they chase the day—
For heaven is just a bark away.

And though our hearts may ache with grief,
In memories, we find relief.
For love like theirs can never part,
It stays forever in our heart.

So when the night is calm and still,
I feel a warmth, a gentle thrill,
A whisper soft, from skies so gray
Heaven is just a bark away.

I Found a Paw

         
When I needed a hand, I found a paw,
Soft and steady, without a flaw.
In silence you came, with eyes so true,
A faithful friend when skies were blue.

Through quiet nights and weary days,
You stood by me in gentle ways.
With every wag, a promise made,
In your warmth, my fears would fade.

A tender touch, a nudge, a cheer,
You sensed each doubt, each hidden tear.
No words were needed, just your gaze,
Guiding me through life’s maze.

When the world felt cold and thin,
Your paw was there, inviting me in.
A comfort pure, no need to speak,
A bond unbroken, strong yet meek.

So here’s to paws that heal and mend,
To the truest love a heart can send.
When I needed a hand, I found so much more—
I found a friend worth living for.

I’m Waiting for You

Screenshot
I’m the one who’s always waiting for you,
Faithful and true, no matter what you do.
Your car, it hums a tune I know,
A sound that makes my heart aglow.
In a thousand, I could pick it out,
My ears, they hear you without a doubt.

Your steps ring out like a magic bell,
Each footfall casting its gentle spell.
Your voice, a melody soft and clear,
It’s the sweetest sound I ever hear.
When I see your joy, I feel it too,
For every smile, I’m smiling with you.

Your scent, to me, is the very best,
It lingers like a warm embrace in my chest.
Your presence stirs my every sense,
In your wake, there’s no defense.
Your waking up brings life to me,
A bond, unspoken yet heavenly.

I watch you sleep, in quiet awe,
To me, you are without a flaw.
Your look, a beam of radiant light,
Fills my world with pure delight.
Your hands on me bring peace so sweet,
In your touch, love is complete.

When you leave, my heart grows cold,
A void that only you can hold.
But I’ll wait here, day after day,
For your return, come what may.
For I am the one who will wait for you,
Today, tomorrow, my whole life through.

I am your dog, forever true.
