Be Careful

January 14th, 2008 by Linda Jenkinson
  • Be careful what you wish for
  • For it could soon be yours
  • And once you have it in your hand
  • You may not want it anymore.
  • Be careful what you dream of
  • For dreams come true
  • And when you wish upon a star,
  • That star may fall on you.
  • Be careful of putting
  • All your hope within your heart
  • For hearts can shatter easily
  • When dreams fall apart
  • Be careful what you wish for
  • Think twice before you do.
  • For you may find that life is best
  • When wishes don’t come true.

Holy Night

December 23rd, 2007 by Linda Jenkinson

Snowy diamonds falling,
Christmas confetti.
Settling with a hush—
Celebrating peace on earth.

Happy Holidays!

Guiding Star

December 9th, 2007 by Linda Jenkinson
  • You and I have the same guiding star,
  • That pulls us together wherever we are.
  • When the winds of life scheme to force us apart,
  • Their plans are foiled from the very start.
  • For you and I have the same guiding star.
  • What is this power that keeps you so dear
  • Whether we’re distant or whether we’re near?
  • I thought it was love, but it’s stronger than love.
  • The light that guides us shines from one star above.
  • Yes, you and I have the same guiding star.

Another Day Gone By

November 21st, 2007 by Linda Jenkinson
  • The morning mist has cleared.
  • The clouds have left the sky.
  • Its time to wake - begin the day,
  • Before it’s just another day
  • Gone by the way of many days,
  • Another day gone by.
  • All I want to say to you,
  • All that I believe is true,
  • My heart is full,
  • My mind is blank
  • So I take this time to thank,
  • Thank-you just for being here.
  • Thank-you love, for staying near
  • For putting up with all my ills
  • From temper fits to coffee spills.
  • For being the balm that soothes the pain,
  • The inner pain that puts a strain
  • And tries to cloud each day with mist.
  • Thank-you my love for all of this
  • And more, oh so much more that I could say
  • But I will save it, if I may.
  • The morning mist has cleared.
  • The clouds have left the sky.
  • Its time to wake - begin the day,
  • Lest it becomes another day
  • Gone by the way of many days
  • Another day gone by.

Autumn Clouds

November 6th, 2007 by Linda Jenkinson
  • There were clouds in every shade of gray imaginable
  • and just one patch of robin’s-egg blue
  • showing that there are two sides to everything
  • even the autumn sky;
  • low slung clouds,
  • fringed with the icy tips of impending winter;
  • billowing with inner winds that threaten to break through,
  • allowing the first pin feathers of snow to cascade to the ground.
