Snoopy's World

The Strongest Woman I Know

Up at four am,

Newspaper in hand.

She was wide awake,

When I could barely stand.

Breakfast she would make,

It was the most important meal of the day.

After my shower

I would sit and stay.

No words were spoken,

Except, “Eat everything on your plate.

Hurry up

Or you will be late.”

Late for the bus

Meant one thing.

I would have to walk

Otherwise there would be a sting.

She was never afraid

To tear up my behind.

Spankings were plentiful

Only question, what kind.

A short little lady

One that knew how to fight.

Rick Flare being her favorite

The Nature Boy was alright.

Hard to imagine

Getting locked into a figure four.

But she did it

Never hesitating to take us to the floor.

Tough but fair,

That’s who she is.

Never spoiling us,

Teaching us with a quiz.

In her eyes

Children we were not.

Young adults,

Life lessons she taught.

Nothing came easy,

Everything we had to earn.

Working hard,

Was the first lesson to learn.

Picking fruit, cutting grass,

Chores we had to do.

Making good grades

Was what she expected of you.

You could not whine,

You could not complain.

A slap to the face,

Is all you would gain.

Tending to her garden,

And reading her books.

Two things she loved to do,

Messing with them got you THE LOOK.

The look was cold,

And you knew what was to come.

A shoe, a belt, or a switch,

Is where your whooping came from.

She was not all mean,

There was a soft side.

Rewarding good behavior,

That too was a ride.

Money was never short,

For books you wanted to read.

She was a firm believer,

That your mind you should feed.

I am what I am,

Because of the things I was taught.

My grandma was the strongest woman I know,

Especially when she fought.

I am working on a new article and I come to realize something, I need help.  I hit a major wall and I hit it hard.  So here is my question, what do you think a “Soul Mate” is?  Does your “Soul Mate” have to be your lover?  Can a “Soul Mate” be a pet, a friend, a really close relative?

Serious answers please.

Left Behind

So many questions,

So much sorrow.

I’m truly sorry,

I won’t see you after tomorrow.

I took my own life.

Why is what you want to know.

I could no longer

Take the torture on my soul.

I was in so much pain,

Hiding it was hard.

My heart was shattered,

Myself I could no longer guard.

No one understood

These demons I’ve been fighting.

I was alone in this world,

Death became so inviting.

I know you love me,

But you really don’t know what I felt.

The constent struggle,

The tears without a belt.

You will be better off

Without me.

I know it sounds bad

But I promise you will see.

If you really love me

You will be glad.

My pain is over

No more sorrow, no more being sad.

Please do not cry for me,

Just because I am decease.

I love you all

Signed, Finally At Peace.

Karma.  Karma can be a bytch and it can be wonderful.  Here is a test, a challenge if you will, to see how Karma really works.  I challenge you to do at least one good dead a day for the next thirty days.  It does not have to big or loud, it could be as simple as buying someone a cup of coffee, holding the door open, saying please and thank you.  Be polite, be positive, be cheerful.  Do something for someone and not expect anything in return. Smile when there is no need to smile.  Do a good dead and feel good inside.  At the end of thirty days there will be no reward but at least you know you did something good.

First thing that comes to mind when I hear that question is the song for NIGHT AT THE ROXBARRY.  While that is good for drinking a Pepsi and bobbing your head to the left that is not what I am getting at here.  I know it is a loaded question but what is love?  What does it mean to you?  Are thier different types and how do you know you really feel it?  Just wondering.

I was shocked this morning to see that Charlton Heston has past. MOSES as most knew him.  A man I admired growing up and became my president at the NRA.  Charlton, you will be missed.

SO IT IS WRITTEN, SO IT SHALL BE DONE!

What would you do if someone you knew was dying?  Would you treat them different?  Would you be able to look at them the same way as before?  If taking medication meant a longer life but a life filled with pain and sickness would you encourage them to take the medication?  Would you mad at them if they did not?

If they became a vegetable would you be able to pull the plug if that was their wish or would you be selfish and keep them around because you can not say goodbye?  Would you respect a DRN order?  Honestly, what would you do if someone you knew was dying?

Life

There is no other life except LIFE itself.  There is no fast life or slow life, poor life or rich life, good life or bad life, there is just LIFE.  There is only one thing to do with life, LIVE IT!!!

We all came into this world the same way, naked, cold, and crying.  Same as it has been since the birth of Cain and it will be for every baby born into this world.  In this sense we are ALL equal.  It is what happens from this point in life that makes us who we are.

We can accept life, we can give up on life, we can fight life, we can change life.  No matter what we do the point is, WE LIVE LIFE!!!  We can live it in fear or we can live it with the knowledge that soon we will leave it.

The world goes round and round and we are just renting space.  No matter what we do in this life, no matter what we gain, no matter what material things we own, when DEATH comes riding on his white horse we can not take any of that stuff with us.  We will leave with this life the way we came into it, naked, cold, and crying.  Okay maybe not naked naked but the things we clothed ourselves with as we lived and breathed will no longer surround us.

So we have a beginning and an end.  What to do with all the stuff in the middle?  Does it really matter?  If I can’t take it with me then why bother?  Well that’s just it isn’t it?  It’s the journey of LIFE that we all embark on.  It’s a wide ride full of emotions and passions.  Living LIFE is the greatest rollercoaster of all.  I have my ticket ready, how about you?

My Dark Angel

My Dark Angel
Wheither it be Heaven or Hell,
Wheither you are chose to come here,
Or if you Fell,
You are a wonderious being
A soul like no other.
You are the essence of sin
We shall rule the Universe together.
My Dark Angel,
So full of Grace.
You have a tortured soul
Yet a warm loving embrace.
Never leave me,
NEVER let me go.
You are my Dark Angel
I give myself to you, consume my soul.

FRIEND – N. person who will kick the azz of said name when the need arises.  Someone who will be honest and true.  Someone who will listen without judgement and offers advise only when it is truly needed.  Passes out smiles and hugs like they were candy.  Laughter is a must but so is a good shoulder to cry on. Has perfect timing when it comes to lifting you up.  Will be there when needed the most.

That’s what the definition SHOULD say.  I’m sure you can add to it.

Poem of the day:

I AM Lost

I am lost without you
I don't know which way to go.
My world is upside down
My heart has been ripped from it's soul.

You are the light
That guides me through it all.
You are the love
Without you I only fall.

You complete me
My heart for you does yearn
I am truly lost without you
I don't know which way to turn.

Love is a wonderful thing.  It is so vast that God gave us four different ways to love, friendship, sexual, family, and all inclusive.  God loves us and we too love others around us.  Life is too short to be mad.  Since we all love someone in our lives in one way or another, tell that someone that you love them, you never know what tomorrow may bring and despite what we think, none of us are real mind readers.  Take the chance today that you MIGHT not get tomorrow.

Faith

You walk around with a heavy heart

You have a lot on your mind.

But this burden you don’t have to bear alone

A friend in me you will find.

Faith, Hope, and Love

The LORD has given to us.

If you look deep inside you will see

You have friends you can trust.

Let me help you

Carry this HEAVY cross.

Jesus has sent me to you

In this time of your loss.

Trust in the LORD

Strength and faith you will find a new.

Day by day

You are with friends that love you.
