True Power by Shirl A. Steward
Feb 4, 2009
True Power

The power to manipulate
Is as great
As that
That would create.
As such they are the same,
Building and destroying,
But if love is in the heart
Instead of hate
We form not the
Disillusioned, broken man
But create the spirit of a giant
Ready to meet
The challenge of his fate,
Driven like a hungry lion
Fully self reliant.

A Penny for Your Tears by Shirl A. Steward
Feb 4, 2009
A Penny for Your Tears

If only I could, I would, but I can't.
If only I could, I would
turn every tear you've ever shed
into a magic potion which
miraculously transforms
them tenfold into warm and joyous
expressions of gratitude
for the love that awakens and arouses
the spirit and beauty
of who you truly are.

I would if I could, but I can't.
I will, however, love you
until there is no dawn,
until there is no moon,
until there is no longer
a you . . . or a me.

By Shirl A Steward
Written and copyright circa 2001

To you John . . . until we meet again, may laughter and love forever fill your heart

You probably won't hear anything in the news about this anniversary until the 50th is reached. However, I realized that it is significant in the fact that Kennedy was forty-six years old at the time of his death. For those who were alive and old en...
