CHAPTER ONE
HAPPINESS
A SPECIAL PLACE
God’s deserted island is
peaceful and unhibited.
Colorful, exotic birds fly
searching for a place to settle.
Sky-blue water ripples as it flows
onto the golden sand.
Palm trees, soaring and green
sway with the slight breeze.
In the azure sky
the sun warms the earth.
Sea waves roll upon the sand
and quickly ebb their way home.
Crystal clear water,
has the aroma of fresh air.
The fragrance of violets
fills the atmosphere.
The beauty God created
is of an unrestrained peace.
FILLS THE AIR
Love fills the air
with your sweet smile
Happiness fills the air
with your sweet laughter
Everyone has a heart
full of kind words
Words fill the air
as people pass by
Everyone has a heart
full of kind thoughts
Thoughts of kindness
spreads throughout the world
Happiness fills the air
with your sweet laughter
Love fills the air
with your sweet smile.
LIVE IN A WORLD
Let us live like hermits,
in beauty that was meant to be ours.
In a world where the only noise
Are the animals all around us.
In a world where the moon
and the stars is our only light in
<
br /> the darkness.
Let us leave the world that is
ugly and dirty.
All I ask unto you is this:
Let us leave this wicked place,
and go to a world of peace and love.
Alone we will survive, drinking
and eating the gifts God gave to us.
Alone we will be,
away from the destruction,
away from the pain.
We will live happily in
the world of peace.
God will show the way.
SEASONS
The snow crunches below, below my feet.
The sun begins to melt, melt the snow away.
Winter is the coldest, boldest season of the year.
Kids of all ages come to slide, slide down the hill.
Snow, snow the silliest time of the year.
ROCK-N-ROLL
I love rock-n-roll,
we listen to it all the time,
we don’t need a toll,
just a dime.
SPRING
The snow melts away.
The trees in the wind sway.
Living things are reborn.
Reborn into life of
sun and warmth.
Death is away.
Away, not to be seen
‘till winter is near.
Don’t think of winter.
Think of spring when
flowers bloom,
sun shines and
the world is full of light.
GOD’S COUNTRY
This is God’s land;
a land of peace and love,
a land of warmth and sun,
a place to see love.
God’s land is filled with much happiness:
the flowers blossom,
the sun shines,
the sky is blue,
the grass is green,
the air is warm,
the wind is softly blowing,
children’s faces are a glow.
Animals are waking from sleep,
babies are born.
Everybody loves God’s land,
in the sun,
in the rain,
and in the snow.
AN ARC IN THE HEAVENS
The sky is dark,
the rain comes down.
A golden light from above,
forms an arc in the heavens.
Special colors fill the sky,
red, blue, yellow, green,
and violet.
FREEDOM
The breeze flies through my hair,
the sand, under my feet is warm,
the waves wash up on the shore,
the birds fly gracefully around,
the field is full of grass and flowers,
I want to run with the breeze
feel sand under my feet,
water around my ankles,
fly along with the birds,
run through the field of grass and flowers,
this is how I would be free,
in freedom.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Happy birthday
from someone who loves you
you still have that get up and go
so don’t worry about turning old.
Happy birthday
it is not something new
there have been quite a few
since you only feel 20
many more birthdays will
be coming.
TRUE BLUE
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
stay true
for I love you.
CUCUMBER SNAKES
Snakes are slithering little beasts that can be deadly. Some have pretty markings. Some slither on the ground. They hang from trees and some even smell like cucumbers. I thought it was a joke until I found out the truth, the hard way.
I was born and raised in Michigan, where garter snakes reign. They were all I saw. All I cared to see. After being choked by a friend’s pet boa constrictor, I had a real phobia about snakes. All snakes sent shivers down my spine, including harmless garter snakes.
Troy, my husband, was raised in Virginia. His grandfather taught him all the ways of the mountains. How to watch out for wild animals, especially copperhead snakes, he taught him how to protect himself from them. Troy told me about copperheads and that they smelled like cucumbers. I had laughed; a snake that smelled like cucumbers. I did not believe him, until one time when we went to Virginia.
We went to a place called Laurel Creek, to do some hiking. We parked the car on the side of the road and walked on a path into the woods. It was very beautiful. The sun was peeking through the trees; it looked almost magical. I was expecting to see faeries flying around; I was quite enchanted.
We walked along the path, Troy pointing out different animal tracks we saw. We left the path and he showed me an old Indian burial mound. We then went back to the path. Troy bent down and looked at something on the ground. I moved closer, he was looking at a footprint in the mud. My husband looked at me and told me it was a bear track and that it was fresh. I quickly glanced around me. I did not see any bear.
Troy and I continued on the path, ever so often we would leave it to see something of interest and then we would return. Every time we came back, there would be a fresh bear track. A bear was following us, Troy had told me. I was beginning to feel a little nervous as we walked on.
We came upon an orchard, when Troy abruptly stopped ahead. He stood quietly for a moment; I had stopped too and was watching him. He slowly turned around and asked me if I smelled something?
I began to breathe in the fresh mountain air. I did not smell mountain air. It was a smell I knew and liked. Cucumbers wafted through my senses. Everything Troy had told me about copperheads popped into my head. He was not joking. I smelled a very strong odor of cucumbers, which meant I was surrounded by copperheads. I felt a panic attack coming on. I quickly turned and walked very fast, away from the orchard. I finally slowed down when the cucumber smell was gone.
My husband came up beside me; he was smiling. He asked me what I smelled back there. I told him that I smelled cucumbers. He told me, “I told you so!” I knew that was coming.
We continued walking; he saw that our friend the bear was still following. I did not notice the tracks; I was too busy smelling the air. I was feeling quite nervous, my head constantly moving at each sound. Troy noticed my anxiety; he told me what I could do to keep the snakes away.
To this day, I am wondering if what he told me to do was true or he just wanted a good laugh at my expense. He had told the truth about the copperheads, so I did what he told me to do.
He told me to beat a stick on the ground and be loud. I found a walking stick and started to bang on the ground with it. The part about being loud was a mystery. I did not want to scream and disturb the other wildlife, well, maybe the bear. Therefore, I decided to sing loudly. I did not know any good songs, so I ended up singing songs I did know, the downfall of being a mommy.
I was walking down the path in the middle of a large woods, beating a stick on the ground and singing Barney songs loudly (yes, the purple dinosaur). Troy laughed the whole time. I imagine it probably was quite comical. At the time though, I was not laughing. I was scared.
We were almost out of the woods, when I heard a very frightening noise. There was howling all around me. It sounded like it was coming closer. Troy told me that it was wild dogs, which were like wolves, and they always hunt in packs. The wild dogs were on the chase, and we were the ones that were hunted. The bear was not the only one that was interested in us.
That was it for me; I could not take any more wildlife. I threw my stick down and ran. I never even looked back. I only slowed down when I reached the car. I waited for Troy to come out of the trees. He emerged after a few minutes with a big smile. He informed me that the wild dogs were still a distance away and that I did not have to run. I did not answer him; I just got into the car.
He was laughing when he slipped in next to me.
The bear and the wild dogs had scared me good. However, the one thing that scared me the most was the copperheads. Cucumber Snakes, is what I so fondly call them.
We vacationed in Virginia whenever we had the chance to. I do love it there, the mountains are beautiful and I usually find it peaceful. However, I thought it would be a very long time before I go back into Laurel Creek. I was wrong though.
We ended up moving to Virginia, to a place called Bandy. We lived peacefully in the country surrounded by the mountains and wildlife, but it took a year of living here before I did go back into Laurel Creek in the late fall. I had no adventure with copperheads thankfully, just black snakes.
Now we live closer to the city of Bedford, my mountains are in the distance, a highway is close by and not much wildlife. Surprisingly, I long for Bandy and the peacefulness of living closer to nature, and yes, I miss Laurel Creek and it is magical beauty. Although I will never miss, the smell of cucumbers connected with the vile snakes called Copperheads.

CHAPTER TWO
SADNESS
RED ROSE
You lived your life long,
now the time is gone.
I wish you were here,
so I wouldn’t die alone with fear.
Every night I dream you are near.
Stay with me every night, my dear.
My love for you will never fade.
In my mind I’ll see your eyes of jade.
I will be with you soon
in the light of the moon.
The days are growing shorter.
My love for you is growing stronger.
Soon death will come my way
when the red rose turns gray.
ALONE
Always alone
there’s nothing I can do.
Is this feeling normal
or am I alone.
Looking toward the moon
I hope it will be soon,
another chance to love.
I am so tired of being alone.
So many times
the past has hurt,
love was lost.
I am always alone.
Looking at the moon
makes me afraid,
makes me realize,
we are not the same.
We are all alone.
People I meet
