When I was 40
My Aunt Regina wrote a poem
About being 80, or maybe 84,
Doubling my score.

There was a lady
In church one day
Who had her 84th too
While I was still 48,
Made me feel so new.

When I turned 38
I joked to stay that age
And not add on any more.

Then my daughter
Turned that age
And I laughed
At what time was for.

The best age of course
Was that at 38
And I wondered how 48
Got even better.

Surely, it's a great surprise,
The years go by
And practice and wisdom
Makes each term even better!

There's something said
In aging well
I feel eternity here within,
Something special
Only the aged can tell!

Hahaha! Have a good day!

 See...ds!!!

I tossed some seeds
In the empty lot next door,
Threw some pumpkin seeds,
And later threw some more.

In autumn we began to see
Some leaves and flowers...
Then grew the delicious food
That would be ours.

So the hope is that
All my efforts and poetry
Can match or even surpass
the surging forth of seeds
Or even a faithful Rosary!

I hope you know I twist my head to the limits to think of these poems!

 PEQUEÑO TESIS...

EL CUERVO

(By: Karla, For Walk In and Cuerva, hahaha)

      ("Black bird singing in the dead of night".  

                      By: The Beatles.)

Oh, see the Raven,
Alongside the corpse.

Surely it's right before thee.
Is it true death sets us free?

That bird is a wily creature.
It can revive the most able teacher...
And illuminate the pious preacher.

Prey, let it lead us on
To an advanced destination...
Watching diligently
Where it goes.
Apprised at all it knows.

This is art, strategic edifice.
Often seems quite so treacherous.
It's a humongous bird
That proficiently sings.
Symbolizes transformation,
Divine messages, and such things!

It walks between heaven
And Earth,
Proclaiming and singing
Of rebirth!

The importance of good humor in tough times!

 

A FUN POEM

 

(By: Karla, written on June 26, 2026)

 

I am truly blessed

To be a poetess,

To lighten up the day

And for our dear world pray.

 

To unravel an honest story,

Built in hope and glory,

Which leads us to a higher promise,

As did the saints and great

St. Thomas.

 

I ask simply that you

Believe this magistical grandeur too...

 

Having had a lifetime of reasons to trust

I know I must...

 

Think up something new

To instill superb faith in you!

 NOTES

(By: Karla Wagener, English version. - listening to Eduardo Falú).

A song always 

lights the way.

Music cures evil.

Pain produces song...

And in joy it is sung.

Only the heart 

Hears deeply,

And lets the soul fly

At the sound of the heartfelt notes.

Everything is forgotten,

The majority of all,

Except for that so dear song.

Take notes and follow the plan!!!

LAS NOTAS

(Por: Karla Wagener, escuchando a Eduardo Falu, written on July 4, 2025).

 

Una cancion

alumbra la senda.

Musica cura al mal.

El dolor produce cancion...

 

Y la alegria la canta.

 

El corazon solo sabe

Escuchar,

Y el alma vuela

Por las notas muy sentidas.

 

De todo se olvida,

La mayoria,

Menos esa cancion.

A NEW CITY, A NEW BE, NUBE, HAJAJA!!!

 HERE, IN THIS CITY

(By: Karla, while listening to Obama's speech in Chicago.)

We knew we wanted
To make a difference.

Reaching potential
From the grace of each
Individual story.

Make the building
Of a better city possible.

Making it happen
With resolution,
Affirming a shared
Proclamation.

Within the lineage of
The faithful
Collective souls
Of our City of Wellbeing.

Fulfilling a promise
Sealed in the blessings of universal prosperity.

Built stone by stone;
Confident, albeit,
In this which
WE
Have always known!
