Smiles

A smile means so many things,
Not one of us can know.
Everything that people say,
When their teeth begin to show.

The way their eyes twinkle,
as gentle as a dove's.
You see that your are receiving,
That silent sign of love.

A smile means so many things,
Not one of us can know.
Everything that people say,
When their teeth begin to show.

No bows, no bags, no ribbons,
It doesn't cost a dime.
Although this present,
Is probably the most prized.

A smile means so many things,
Not one of us can know.
Everything that people say,
When their teeth begin to show.

It's known by every town and city,
By every continent.
It's been given to us all before,
And it's something we've all sent.

A smile means so many things,
Not one of us can know.
Everything that people say,
When their teeth begin to show.

Wow! II

There has been much success from this blog, in the short amount of time I've had it. However, The Wizard of Oz was not the only inspiration for "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Journey of a Catholic Poster Girl, a blog that you can link to from mine, did and still does inspire me. I am a catholic, myself, and are always looking for ways to spread the word of God. What better way to do so then start a blog?
I encourage everyone to please visit the blog, Journey of a Catholic Poster Girl, it inspired me and I guarantee it will inspire you, too!

Wow!

What my blog has become in just six months is more then I could've ever imagined. What started out to be a simple journal has turned into a place for poems, a home for humor, and a blog we can all call, Somewhere Over the Rainbow!

I also changed the template since I'm going with this "brand new" theme. I really do believe in my heart that this blog has come a long way, it not being up for a year yet, and still having so many posts and so many surprises on the sidebar.

My original purpose of this blog was to use the Wizard of Oz along with some of it's morals, and build from there, and I have; but I've also realized that even though books will start and end, it doesn't mean after you've finished them you should forget them. Creating this blog helped me to not forget The Wizard of Oz, even if I not actually going to read the story or watch the movie anytime soon.

So, as a writer and a reader I challenge you to never forget the books you read, even if you don't remember all the details.

Speaking of Tom and Jerry...

I am Happy

This peom is dedicated to my dad,
Happy Father's Day, Dad!

Today I am happy as I sit here tonight,
Being blessed by God and all his might.
We sit here together enjoying a meal,
Each of us knowing this gift must be real.

Six people, six chairs,
All sitting together.
Not forgetting of course,
The seventh, our savior.

The life, the love, the laughs,
It's all a big blur,
But, God remembers it all,
That part is for sure.

As we drive home,
I feel like a dove.
Flying away,
Feeling the love.

We pull in the driveway,
And we're welcomed again.
The love is everlasting,
I believe. Amen.
