Weathering the Storms and keeping Warm

Someday I want to be a Cardinal with fledglings... 

Taking on the Spirit of LADY LIBERTY 

MAKING IT WORTHWHILE TO ASPIRE and grow 

as Fledglings in a New World where 

Liberty Rings for Everyone...  

Give me your Poor and wandering Souls 

We will teach them to toil and grow 

fruits and vegetable and live 

off the Land  to show appreciation 

for Opportunity...   

Sunflowers and Sunshine 

Homes made from Trees 

that give Shelter by the Sea... 

Where Birds and Bees can be free 

in the Land of the Free...

Your words are so beautiful and exhilarating, dear Pat.
They speak to me of the beyond beautiful life you've been blessed with.
Your words speak to me of the love, compassion and sheer generosity that you have in your heart for all the less fortunate. Your yearning to share your gifts and blessings.
And that makes you a truly divine subject of God.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest DIVYA… Random acts of Kindness will be needed as we survive. Your words are indeed a Prayer to give us Strength to encourage 💞 Hearts to share the fruits of the Field. Tenderly, Pat

[Neville]

Another re-visit enjoyed .. because it seems your muse has been playing hide and seek lately .. I hope this helps her find you and gently .. Neville :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Me too dear Pat. I want to be a hawk. Here in Michigan. Many hawks survey the land daily. Freedom, we do miss. When we don't have. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

dearest John… we will show the Immigrants how to survive… and I am certain they know many ways to work and survive. There is always Hope where the Spirit abides.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree dear Pat.

Martin Luther King's dream is still not realized. While everyone yearns for that vision to become a reality, one wonders what's keeping it from manifesting. On the one hand, the answer is simple: it's us. However, we are very complex and complicated, and to achieve any sort of understanding or unity seems impossible. In any case, one needs a vision of a better world, and this piece offers that.

A beautiful tribute to the land of freedom, where everyone is free and no longer part of the huddled masses who long for freedom and so many who died to obtain it. The Statue of Liberty a symbol of that freedom. Lovely narrative poem, dear Pat. Thank you so very much for sharing...

I enjoyed this one Patricia. It reminded me of this song.
"Give us your daily bread
We have no shoes to wear
No place to call our own
Only this cross to bear
We are the multitudes
Lend us a helping hand
Is there no love anymore
Living in the promise land?
Living in the promise land
Our dreams are made of steel
The prayer of every man
Is to know how freedom feels" David Lynn Jones

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Fabian... I must read David Lynn Jones (as he writes about Freedom). I have noticed that the children of the Immigrants are so precious and innocent... and many Parents want their children to be innovative and resourceful. So I do see Hope for the Future if we can only afford the financial Burden in the midst of over-spending and trying to ignore our Constitution, as well as Law and Order. The Great Spirit will always guide our ways if we are Brave. gently, Pat

[Samuel Dickens]

I sense a bit of the good book in this. "Behold, the fowls of the air". In hard times, that thought has often come to mind. Very nice writing, my friend.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Samuel… my Grandfather Dave was a Coal Miner in West Virginia.. he and wife Minnie raised three boys and three girls in a weather beaten Home on a Hill in the Holler. They got water from the Creek and heated their home with a Black Iron Stove that was also used to Cook and Bake in the Oven. Dave saved enough Money to buy 40 screws for a 🎶 Song in Delaware. Dave and two of his Sons worked on the Railroad . Four of the children Married and build their own Homes from the Trees on the Land. We have built Homes that require lots of Money and now Millions of Immigrants recently were Invited to Cross our Border to have Free Time to plunder our Country… A far Cry from working Diligently. We Pay dearly for not Keeping the Laws of the Wild West where Law and Order was Kept and Respected. I hope and Pray for all the Innocent God-fearing People and Children. 🙏 Prayers and ❤️ Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Correction…. Dave Roop purchased Forty Acres of Land for a Song… in Delaware in the late thirties… Pat to Samuel… 🇺🇸

[Samuel Dickens]

You and I come from the same kind of stock--very poor, hardworking folk.

[andrew mitchell]

I think the title says it all “Weather the storms and keep warm” It’s funny we destroy a visible nature but worship an invisible God. We should worship a visible nature. Nature is strange too looks so inviting and harmonious but underneath its eat or be eaten. Nice one Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew… you are so Gracious… with Patience we can survive the Storms. With Prayer we can Save our Children and Heirs Til Kingdom Come… Amen… Pat

[Lorry]

Ah! I see what youve done here Pat, covering nature so eloquently yet it builds into another poem entirely that can be a featured write on fourth of july too!
Ill need to remember that one, seeing as im not writing very much of anything these days, although maybe santa and baby jeebus, along with the easter bunny could merge into a superpower of animation..... But best not invite Mohammad, as i hear he is a bit of a diva sith his "no pictures, or death!" rule.
Now, if you'll excuse me, im away to write the next simpsons! 😊

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lorry... it will be difficult to destroy our Spirit.. there's always Hope and Charity and Faith in each other. I always appreciate your Reviews. gently, Pat
