50th-Anniversary-Poem

Hello all, from Artsieladie!
*Early Post*
"Anniversary Poem"

Through the years from where we came, 

We've traveled our many roads together...
Though some were long and dreary_

Made us tired, made us weary...

We've always withstood the weather.


Through the years from where we came,
 

We have added verses to our song.
Yet still we've stayed in tune
 

Since we first began in June.
Somehow, our journey hasn't seemed that long.


Through the years from where we came,
 

Maybe, we've gotten just a little out of sync
Yet, we ironed out the creases

And adopted some new thesis

But retained the cup from which we drink.


Through the years from where we came,
 

We've built strength on respect and caring
Matters that are small

We tend to each and all

With our love and through our sharing.


Through the years from where we came,
 

With God we've shared our trail. 
He has carried us thus far
For we have focused on the star

Of Jesus through our hill and vale.


Through the years from where we came,
 

We've tread along day by day.
Together forward we will thrust
 

And in His word we shall trust 
For His light will guide our way.

Through the years from where we came,
 

Ah, yes...and we're still as one
The ways we've mended

Our hearts we've blended

The tasks that we have done!


Through the years from where we came
 

We've had trying times for sure.
But we've had some fun

With the things we've done

And our faith has been our cure.


Through the fifty years we've come.
 

We reflect on years gone by
As husband and as wife

With our home and with our life

And...we're still reaching for the sky!

The-Greatest-Mom

Hello all, from Artsieladie!
*Early Post*
"The Greatest Mom!"
Art/poem by Artsieladie
"My Friend, My Mother!"
What words do I write? What words can I say?...
About my dear Mother, when there is really no way....
To adequately state, to totally uphold,
A real superwoman which never gets told.
The credit she deserves cannot be explained.
Exalt her I do for she's truly ordained.
Her spirit is relentless. Her courage so great.
With a heart so big I can only elate.
Her will is astounding though her mountains are steep.
Her compassion's abounding. Her integrity runs deep.
With endurance so endless and vitality...did I mention?
Perseverance, she has plenty, her best... her intention.
A greater compliment I could never receive...
Compared with my mother? Truly, I can't even perceive
For she is unique, surely one of a kind.
For one even remotely like her...never could find!
My dear Mother I honor. My dear Mother I praise.
The Lord always, He's with her for she lives by His ways.
Never shall I know again, one so dear and true.
My dearest, most beloved friend, I truly, deeply love YOU!!!

Royal-Puddin

Hello all, from Artsieladie!
*Early Post*
Artsieladie's beloved poodle, Royal Puddin'.
" Royal Puddin' "
Royal Puddin' was, yes, an awesome buddy.
He was loyal, true and such a really quick study.
Though he's gone to a place far and beyond,
He sparkles my memory like a magic wand.

New-Adventure

Hello all, from Artsieladie!
*Early Post*
Homeless puppies found a home.
"Happy Puppies!"
These puppies are happy now...With their great, new home.
They've got lots of new sights of which to explore and roam.
...Two once homeless puppies and now in a good home...
©2005 by Artsieladie, aka Sharon Artsieladie Donnelly

Update note: At the time of this post, I was very actively involved with animal/pet rescue. I fostered 
countless animals in my home until new, forever homes could be found for them. These puppies were 
two of the animals I fostered until a new home for them was found.

Sometimes-Take-Time

Hello all, from Artsieladie!
*Early Post*
"Sometimes...Take Time"

Sometimes...
Throughout our busy days...
In the chaos and the craze...
While we strive to live like kings,
We forget IMPORTANT things!

The beauty of a tree -
Ah, yes, a child's wonder -
Or of a rose in bloom -
Do we dare to ponder?

Seemingly insignificant matters, like thoughts 'n' prayers 'n' such...
Well, maybe, "We'll do it later...." ('cause it doesn't matter much!")
Not only of our time, is our sparing small,
But, with all our "gotta' haves", we don't recognize the call.
Of someone in need, a stranger or a friend,
Maybe just a helping hand, is all we need to lend.

You see? If it doesn't fit... within our schedule range,
Our accustomed style... we simply cannot change!
I'm not going that way... I don't think I can...
I've got to get my 'this'... That's not within my plan...
These are some 'excuses' that we're guilty of each day,
But, if we thought a moment... I bet we'd find a way!
To make a call or two or help someone in need,
If we did without a little, it would magnify, indeed!

If our material possessions were all just stripped away,
Would we be left standing... naked and in dismay?
Could we look inside our soul and be content in what we see
Or would we make some changes and throw away the key?

To the door of 'think of me'... be sure it's locked up tight,
'Cause a whole new door will open as you're showered with the light!
No longer will you have to worry about your little self,
'Cause the care you give to others will not remain upon the shelf!

You'll be surrounded in ways you can't imagine thus,
You'll feel much more significant and no more like a 'wuss'!
The rewards in life are plenty. They are there for all of us,
If we do a little caring and refocus how we fuss!

So, let us all each day find some time for others.
Share our thoughts and feelings with our sisters and our brothers.
I don't mean just family here... although they're number one,
But also, with the other souls that may not always be as fun!

Let me just say..... that I'm guilty of this, too...
That's why I'm sharing thoughts as I think of you.
And if tomorrow I'm not here, 'cause we never know what's next,
I want my family and friends to know and not to feel perplexed.

To say the way I feel... that I love each and every one...
Just doesn't seem adequate or that my task is done!
So, if there's any doubt in your minds as of today...
Remember this I've said and I mean just what I say!
I want to say one more thing, this, most of all...
May you each know God's Blessings. May they be showered on you ALL!!!
