For the sweet tooth





                                            

                                                             Mom's Sweets
                                                                 Once a year,
                                                                 As glorious holiday cheer,
                                                                 A new aroma fills the air.
                                                                 Scrumptious sweets made with care,
   
                                                                 Ginger,
                                                                 Coconut,
                                                                 Chocolate chip,
                                                                 And the tangy citrus zest,
                                                                 Glorious, sugary, gooey, goodies.
                                                                 Endless treats!
                                                                 Oh how I love mom's sweets!

To anyone unhappy.





                                                        

                       "A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones."
                                                                            Proverbs 17: 22

                                               
                                                         Why So Blue?
                                        Hey, you,
                                                           Why so blue?
                                                           What must I do
                                                           To convince you
                                                           That blue isn't your color?

                                                           There are times for blue,
                                                           Yes that's true,
                                                            But blue shouldn't be all you do,
                                                                     
                                                            Your troubles want you to be blue,
                                                            To feel like getting kicked with a shoe,
                                                            But you know true you is not true blue.

                                                            With a smile,
                                                            Beguile the blue,
                                                            And you'll be surprised how it sticks
                                                            Like glue.
        
                                                             God above did not create you blue,
                                                             So be happy and look for sunshine you!
                                                                                                        :) :) :) :)
