Poetry Lovers: The Prayer Garden

 

The Prayer Garden

By Bernard Demaere

 

Like a flower,

Is each prayer!

He takes them one by one,

In His Garden.

 

He cares for them,

He sprinkles,

One at a time, every day,

‘Till fully grown.

 

Some are picked now,

Some will be for later,

But one glorious day, I know,

I will see my gardener.

 

And those flowers, the same,

He will have gathered,

Then fragrance and beauty,

Will send a perfume unto, Eternity.

The Power of Fathers

Fathers are valuable beings in children's formation not just the mothers. They set the right values in a home and the standards of moral.  They are much needed. I am glad I had a dad and when I look around I am glad my dad stack around all his life.  So many fathers have left the coop for whatever reason.  I can honestly say that it hurts my heart to see single mothers looking after their children without a father. My dad was dedicated to his family and we always had food on the table. He had to be very busy because of his business in body shop and that I miss, the interaction with him on the emotional level.  I think maybe my children missed that too.  I urge every father to be there for their children, not just physically but emotionally.  It will save them a lot of regrets and sorrow later. I wish all the fathers out there a wonderful day with their family whether you are in a country that celebrates Father's day or not.   Here is a poem that descri...

Imaginary Imagery

So many times I wonder how what I read in people's faces or even in my own thoughts is actually what really happens. Am I really mad for the right reason or is it all in my imagination. What about you?  Are you really seeing what you are supposed to see or you have to reconsider something? Maybe you missed something in the context of what they were saying. Do we understand everyone perfectly?  Do we communicate perfectly? Let's revaluate!  Give them another chance. Say no to that divorce or that fight. Is it worth it? Here is a poem about Imagination: Imagination Bernard Demaere   Image, Aviation, Imagination. The bird flew from the cage. Freedom took wings, To worlds of dreams. Making anything Into something. A bird can be caged, A cage, a bird, Have your heard? The bird, When he flew, From the cage, High above. Above your neck, That’s your head, He never came back, Till he found something, In the worlds of dreams, In ...
