Everybody wants to be
Thanked when they do
Something good for
Someone else. Or if they
Have worked hard at
Something and finally
Achieved their goal.
Giving thanks is more
Important to the person
Than a monetary reward.

Heavenly Choir
All of a sudden a heavenly
Sound came out of the sky.
It was a choir singing
Beautiful songs that brought
Tears to everyone’s eyes. No
One could be seen in the sky,
But it was like the choir was
Encircling us. They sang
Until the sun went down.
The Place
I go down to where the
Land meets the ocean.
I let the rhythmic sound
Of the lapping waves
Lull me into a peaceful
Oneness. This place
Where the the ocean has
A lot to teach me.
Running on Water
They say only shamans or
Holy men can run on water.
It’s been recorded. Jesus
Walked on water. If you can
Achieve a high spiritual state
Of oneness that puts you on
A whole different level of
Achievement, running on
Water could be one.
Going to the Dentist
Nobody looks forward to going
To the dentist. They are afraid
The dentist will find cavities
And have to numb their gums
And drill their tooth and hear
That high pitched drill that
Makes you grip the armrest
For dear life. After it’s over
Your jaw is so numb you can
Hardly talk. And you leave
The office thinking never
Again.
King
A king knocked at our door
One day and introduced
Himself as king so-and-so.
He said I’ve got a slight
problem–I’m lost. I don’t
Know where my kingdom
Is. We did not know how
To help him so we gave
Him a map and some food
And sent him on his way.
Sunflowers
Nothing is more cheerful
Than looking at sunflowers
Smiling at the sky.
The Cave
One afternoon I was walking
In the woods and noticed an
Opening in the side of a hill
Partially covered by vines.
It looked like a cave, and
Luckily I had a flashlight
With me. I started into the
Dark cavern. It was eerily
Quiet and damp. The farther
I went inside, I began to hear
Strange music. And to my
Amazement, I came upon a
Glowing purple rock–I had
Stumbled upon an Enchanted
Cavern.
Skeletons in the Closet
Most people have dirty little
Secrets that they hope no one
Ever finds out about. They can
Hear the rattling in the closet to
Remind them that they are still
There. That person constantly
Fears the skeletons will jump
Out of the closet and start
Talking.
Go Back
One day I told my wife
We ought to go back to
the church we were
Married in. We did, and
It brought back a flood
Of sentimental memories,
The organ, her gown, the
Minister, the ceremony,
Down to the you may kiss
The bride ending. Love in
A beautiful setting.
