Diversity breeds tolerance in our lives anew. Without diversity new ideas we could not brew All thinking alike new meaning would not come into sight Diversity is found in God's plan it brings us into His Light March 4, 2024 MarkWaldrop

In the wilds where silence roams, Lies a truth, in nature's tomes. The wolf, a creature, stark and keen, Not as dark as it's often seen. Never feasting on the dead, Walking paths where honor's led. A life in pairs, fidelity's song, In love's embrace, where wolves belong. Monogamous, true to its mate, A bond unbroken, sealed by fate. Should death part ways, a soul bereft, Alone it stays, in solitude left. Knowledge of kin, a lineage proud, Supporting elders, a promise avowed. Bringing sustenance when strength wanes, A family's love, in their veins reigns. In the moment of its final breath, Eyes meet yours, challenging death. Intelligence that surpasses bounds, In its gaze, a spirit astounds. Unyielding to the will of others, Its essence, no training smothers. A symbol of wild freedom's call, In its spirit, we see our own thrall. So remember, when tales are spun, Of creatures under the moon and sun. The wolf, in movies cast as vile, Bears a nobility, across each mile. Let's rethink the stories we've narrated, Of beings, unjustly denigrated. For in the wolf, there's much to admire, A reminder to elevate our gaze higher. March 4, 2024 Created by MarkWaldrop
In the stillness of the night, I felt His Peace and Quiet. At Noon, when the storm clouds loom, I have no fright. Under God’s Wing with Jesus in my Heart My soul is calm. Every day is a fresh start. March 4, 2024 MarkWaldrop
In a world not always kind, under skies sometimes grey, Lived Reggie, a little dog, in turmoil's harsh sway. His fur, as white as fresh winter snow, Held a story of sorrow, more than most know. Two months past, fate's hand gently guided, To a soul in need, where love resided. A cruelty endured, one eye lost, a spirit not broken, In Reggie's heart, his resilience, a token. At two, life's chapters, both bitter and sweet, Found solace in kindness, a gesture so neat. A new family's embrace, a haircut, a sign, Of beginnings anew, where stars align. On Sunday, the scissors whispered tales of rebirth, Trimming away the past, revealing his worth. And today, oh today, in the playground's embrace, Swings cradled his dreams, in a serene space. He soared through the air, with the wind in his fur, A moment so pure, no past could deter. He wanted to say hi, to the world, to the sky, A simple hello, from a dog, once shy. Reggie, the little white dog, with a heart so vast, Teaches us love, resilience, a bond that will last. In his eyes, a story, a journey, a plea, To see beyond sorrow, and just let him be. So here's to Reggie, a beacon of light, A testament to love's unwavering might. In a world not always kind, he found his way, A cute little white dog, who had much to say.

In the tapestry of life, so grand and vast, God wove each soul, a spell to cast. With freedom of choice in every heart, A journey of faith, from the start. Some choose the path where God's light shines, A road of love, divine designs. Others may wander, lost in the night, Swayed by shadows, out of sight. Yet, let us be carriers of the Good, Reaching out, as we should. To those caught in evil's snare, Offering hope, showing we care. For in the grand design, it's clear to see, Good triumphs over evil, ultimately. A battle fought with love and grace, Leading every lost soul to a sacred place. So, let our actions reflect the light, Guiding all towards what is right. For in the end, it's love that wins, A force that forgives, and cleanses sins. Together, let's stand, strong and true, With every deed, let goodness flow through. For in the tapestry that God has spun, Good shall prevail, when all is said and done.

If LittleBit could talk, what would he say? Thank you for being my family every day. Keeping me safe and warm, I'm most thankful for. Taking me to the Vet when my paw is sore. God sent me to you, and you to me. To give us comfort and security. If I go first, which I most likely will. Meet me at the Rainbow Bridge. We’ll all cross over the hill.

Today you will be judged by your Pet. They seem to know you the best. February 3, 2024 MarkWaldrop
They told me, with a tone so slight, "That my house, it holds a scent," Smells like dog, they claimed outright, And I pondered what they meant. "Do they know what a dog smells like?" A query to their claim, A dog smells like the dawn's first light, A spirit you can't tame. Gratitude, in every wagging tail, Loyalty, in eyes so bright, Nobility, in their silent hail, Honey, in their cuddles tight. Pure and Unconditional Love, In every leap and joyful shove, And despite all they have suffered, They don't smell a grudge, it's buffered. So, I stand, with heart so touched, In their presence, I feel blessed, My house smells like dog, so much, And in that scent, I find my rest. For in their essence, I see truth, A lesson in their every move, My home's fragrance, a living proof, Of love, in its purest groove. So let them say, what they will, About the scent, my home does fill, For if it smells like dog, I'm glad, It's the best scent, one could ever have. March 2, 2024 Created by MarkWaldrop
