Pitch In
People are hungry, yet people continue to waste food.
Her meals were from partially eaten sandwiches thrown in public trash cans.
She watched a child throw away a sandwich, one bite out of it.
Getting sandwich from can immediately would be her evening meal.
People are hungry, yet people continue to waste food.
An apple, a pear, a peach, some cherries
Some grapes to help provide nutrition
To help curb appetite
Praying to God above, never to give up Ferocious fight.
People are hungry, yet people continue to waste food.
A project for many years, helping my Mother Make sandwiches in our kitchen with Family and Friends
Taking sandwiches to organizations, like S.O.M.E, So Others May Eat, brings on
cheers chants yea food is here.
People are hungry, yet people continue to waste food.
Standing on Main Avenue in freezing cold and snow, holding sign stating HELP ME FEED MY CHILDREN, IF ONLY FOR ONE
NIGHT!!!
People are hungry, yet people continue to waste food.
All across the world people die from hunger and malnutrition
To ignore this plight would be a ridiculous selfish shame.
People are hungry, yet people continue to waste food.
What can you do, what can I do, what can others do, to end this international plague?
The answer is blowing in the wind, doing Something consistent, we can all PITCH IN.
People are hungry, yet people continue to waste food.

You are my Need
Love Poet, you are my need
Feel the need in me
Need so great indeed you thrill me
Sound of your exhilarating voice automatically lifts my spirits
Anticipation of your sensational tender touch wakens my need for you to hurry and come back home to me. Feel the need, feel the need
in me. Just thinking of how wonderful we are together, whether we are challenging each other with a game of Scrabble, singing melodies of our
favorite love songs to each
other, daydreaming or just staring into each other’s brown eyes until our hearts smile.
“Floating Around in a Miracle”
Each day passes by sweetly with
thoughts of how good you are to
me my Darling.
I am floating around in a miracle, so
much goodness has come to me.
Faith, Hope and Love are my saving
grace, treasured like finest of wine
and antique lace.
Summertime, my favorite time of
year, I love charming endearments
whispered in my ear.
Your voice carries a deep passion,
piercing core of my heart with
every single word.
I am laying back chilling, comfy
cozy, my Darling until I can look
into your brown eyes again.
My Darling Love, I am Floating
around in a Miracle.
Southern Lovers
Love oh Love perpetually tickles my
exhilarated heart
Ecstatic to be reunited
Hour after hour we sit in handmade
wooden rocker under giant
magnolia down by river’s bank.
Silver strands shine and glisten our
hair.
From dawn to dusk, delightful, darling days gone by, we reminisce.
So many stories connected and
counted into a passionate
pleasing pantoum.
Remembering our favorite dessert, yesterday I made a Sweet
Love Cake.
Three buttery homemade layers made from scratch.
Each layer spread with Milky Way nougat, stacked and covered In fluffy, creamy milk chocolate icing.
Generously sprinkled with our favorite nuts, fresh Pecan’s halved ooze like old fashioned hearty
Love and laughter, shared
between Lovers with each bite,
each deliciously moist slice.
Misty Eyes
Strong sentiments of serious care
Comforts my mind, heart and soul
Eases my spirit brings feelings of
sincere love.
Agape love, love with sensational
care, good feelings knowing you
are there, knowing you truly care.
Strengthens my sole being.
I can walk better, I can see clearer,
I can carry on.
Silent tears roll down my face.
Tears of joy and happiness.
You make my eyes Misty.
That is what he said to me.
