Sometimes We Feel Alone
Sometimes we feel alone in the world
losing a loved one, enduring a hardship,
experiencing an illness in the family.
Roadblocks in our normally smooth lives.
But God and Nature surround us
easing our burdens and healing our hearts.
Time and patience become our friends.
They hold our hands
and quietly begin to fill our hearts
with love and joy once again.… Read the rest
What Do The Animals Really Think
What do the animals really think
of man and his modern ways?
Busy and tired, no time for joy
a grind from morning to night.
Has he forgotten the beauty and love
all creatures were given for free?
What do the animals really think
of life in the modern world?… Read the rest
The Flowers of the Field
Nature’s magic is a wonder to behold
as she tends the flowers of the field.
From seed to bud, flower to seed
cycles of promise are fulfilled.
The flowers speak to eyes and soul
a language all their own.
The gift is free, the joys and thrills
as nature tends the flowers of the field.… Read the rest
Thank You for Sharing Your Love
Thank You for sharing your love
Thank You for sharing your life.
A gift not bound by earthly ties
much greater than hear and soul.
Your love embraces with kind, gentle arms
not controlling, not begging
but with care and support.
There are no commands, no please for help
just two kind souls on a journey through life.… Read the rest
Pudgy Wudgy Jammer (PJ)
People say I’m just all ears
that’s really far from the truth.
My joys in life – to run and jump
bark loud squeals of delight.
I have a great friend called buddy.
How unusual it seems
for the big, black dog
to take me under his wing.… Read the rest
Solitude
Solitude is not a sad state of mind
but a glorious gift from God.
Not lonely or detached
but connected and joyful.
A time to reflect, a visit with self
A time to listen, a time with God
advice from a warm, loving Friend.
A time to give Thanks for glorious gifts.… Read the rest
Please Be Kind To The Animals
Please be kind to the animals
they really are God’s creatures, too.
Put here on earth to live free with nature
not intended to live in a cage.
The animals have no anger or hate
they have no fear of man.
The lessons learned are not from a book
but from a kind, caring Mother and Dad.… Read the rest
The Pines at Night
The pines at night stand bold and firm, strong in the mist of moonlight
Nature’s tribute to God and gift to man
A forever reminder of God’s promise for growth and renewal
An Eternal symbol of comfort and love
Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 1998 ©
It’s OK to be me
both the good and the bad
I’m unique in the eyes of the world.
No longer a child living with parents
I’m free from the ties that blind.
They meant no harm
doing their best
not realizing the hurt
slowly filling the heart.
don’t run, be quiet
you’re to be seen, not heard
the familiar commands from Dad.… Read the rest
My Buddy
The touch of his paw upon my arm
a quiet lick across my wrist
The doggie love of my life – my Buddy
Not some spiffy, purebred beast
but a kind and gentle waif
found out in the street.
He called in a quiet, gentle voice
touching my soul, running into my arms
There’s always the thought –
OH NO ANOTHER DOG!… Read the rest

Independence
I should have
been named Independence
because that’s how I live my life.
No human ever orders me around.
I’ll sneak away
spend the day in hiding
who cares if they’re looking for me.
Perhaps there’s a time I might decide
to give my human a treat.
I’ll jump on her lap
let her stroke and pet
turn on my purring machine.… Read the rest
If you Live with the Trees
If you live with the trees
then you live with the leaves
it’s a law Mother Nature decreed.
You sweep them, rake them
and burn the great piles
there’s always an abundant supply.
They sneak in your house
crumbled and dried
leaving hundreds of pieces to hide.… Read the rest
