Poema: ALMA COMPAÑERA

ALMA COMPAÑERA

(4 de Agosto, 2013)

Una Canción Nueva

Que conquista al corazón.

Una música más libre, una mañana soleada.

Una esperanza que sostiene a la vida tan atareada.

Conocer a alguien,

¡Alguien en la Vida!

Que de' un giro a tu pensar,

Para encontrar,

¡Lo que es realmente vivir y amar!

Aprendir a compartir,

Escuchar profundamente hasta la eternidad.

Viviendo en ¡Paz y Hermandad!

POEM: THE BIRTHDAY SONG!

POEMS FOR GRANDCHILDREN

September 24, 2013

THE BIRTHDAY SONG!

Love starts from within.

There is no other place.

We all live, in some way, alone.

But the Heart is not a stone!

So break it in pieces!

Let your feelings show!

You are a real being, not a doll!

Intimate feelings help us know,

What is best to do…

The best way to live and grow!

             Love, Grandma Karla

ALL IN A DREAM / 24 September, 2013

Hi guys!

I had a really beautiful, important dream last night.  It was so beautiful.  I was in a troupe of actors and actresses, young and very qualified, who traveled to many different exotic and important places.  Many other things happened, but I don't remember specifically all the details, but it was all done with great expertise and ability.  The thing was though that it was paramount not to get personally involved with anyone.

I'm not quite sure why, but I feel this all has to do with family relationships.  It was all very beautiful and exquisite, and left me with good feelings. 

It also reminds me of when I was 7 years old and the Nuns dressed me as a little Nun, in a white outfit which is symbolic of a festive activity.  It is all biblical, of course.  The Nuns told me I did not have to speak or do anything special in the play.  There was a Bishop in the play.  I prayed a lot, even at that young age of 7, in first grade, and think it is amazing how much a 7 year old can be aware of!  I believe it was a founding influence on my life, and I am amazed that later in life, I met a Bishop in 1997, who later became Archbishop, Cardinal, and finally Pope. I have been praying for him since that time, and in some ways, since I was a child, without knowing it was him.   I have been in contact with him over the years, and have given him some of my poems and writings.  I believe all these things are positive signs for us!

I felt I should write to all of you and tell you this, but I don't know why really. 

I do know that Paul has been talking about travelling a lot lately, I feel God wants me to travel, and Angelo works for Aerolineas so that means a lot too!

Give me your ideas about this!

Oh, also, last Saturday, with Olga and Mercedes, of the Café Literario de Padre Hernan, sponsored by the Editorial San Pablo, we did a sketch of the 21^st Chapter of the Little Prince by Antoine Saint Exupery.  It was quite a successful endeavor and perhaps inspired this dream. I was the Fox and Olga was the Little Prince.  Mercedes was the Announcer.  Also, today is Zoe’s 11^th birthday and that surely has something to do with all this!

Poem: "LULLABY"

29 JUNE, 2009

LULLABY

Lay in my heart, now.
Don't you look back.
There's somethin' happ'nin'
   fine and so good.
So no, don't look back.
Dream on in a good mood.

Let your heart wander.
Sing soft a song.
Love’s the big answer...
to all that is wrong.

Dream on.  Dream on.
Bring back that lost hope.
When you awaken,
good dreams must not be lost.

Sleep now.  Dream on.
Dream of life's jokes.
Something better

For all of the folks!

Dream on.  Sleep tight;
In trust of a greater right.
(2nd verse) 
Dream on. Sleep tight...
in trust of faithful might.

Poem: BRANCHES

BRANCHES!

17 OF MARCH, 2009 (ST. PATRICK'S DAY)

 I’m askin' you to love me, like he loved her...

In your own manner, the way to you it does occur.

 With a pure, transparent vision,

In this daily life, living fully our mission.

With palms in our hands,

As we walk in procession over hills or sands...

 On our lips the word "glory",

Measured words to tell our story...

It’s my heart, deep within, that told me, ”somethin's missing”,

In the ultimate what cures all is Spirit and blessing.

What greater than this glory and mystery,

To love, singing out mercy and grace,

As the theme and inspiration to our history?

I’m pleading for eternal love,

As I wash and kiss with tears many feet,

     And the hurt and needing, time after time, greet...

 For your presence and willingness do I ask,

In the making of the World’s greatest task...

Come along; listen once again to the plan...

The plea to love little me, all of man...

Some profound need, deep within, to reach out to the soul...

To reach the weak, humble needing sinner, the biggest goal.

 Relieving, suffering, death or pain,

Assuming compassion, love and forgiveness, again and again.

I’m hoping we can love like he did them,

That each branch grows like one more stem!

Poem: NEW BEGINNINGS

NEW BEGINNINGS

(5 OCTOBER, 2008)

When America was young, she was so pure, so innocent.

She defended justice, and said proudly all she meant...

It was a time of growth, ideals and meaning.

What has happened to the "great dream", and patriotic feeling?

Is there now a need once again for change...

Introspection, our perceptions to rearrange...

A call for convention...

...many a new invention...

What needs to be found?

Is it reconciliation and common ground?

"In God we Trust".

Equally, listening to Him is a MUST!

Poem! "HONEY"!!!

HONEY 

(15 February, 2007)

Don't be afraid to show it.

It's time for the whole hive to know it!

This is the plan,

For us all to work as a clan,

Singing and dancing we do the job,

Keeping away from the violent mob.

 There is much work to be done.

While we do it we can have great fun.

Being healthy in body spirit and mind,

Liberation in the Light we can find.

 We are all one of a Big All,

We listen carefully to the Great Call!

We are all busy and free,

 like the humble Bumble Bee!

 To each their share,

Agreeing together on what is fair!

 Each takes only what they need.

The entire population for us to feed...

 In the brilliance of the shining Light,

A New Hope glimmering oh, so bright!

                          Por, Karla

CANCION A LA PAZ

Vos preguntas,

¿Quien es amiga?

¿Quien esta bien con todos?

¿Quien ama a Dios?

¿Quien es amigable?

¿Muy afinada?

¿Y hace bien a los demas?...

(pausa)

Yo que te di todo,

Aclamo y proclamo,

A Ti que solo te encontras...

Aqui estoy.  Aqui estamos.

No te desanimes.

No busques mas...

Aqui estoy.  Estoy preparada,

Y somos muchos,

Los que te amaran.

No te desanimes,

Aqui estamos.

No pierdas el camino.

No busques Mas.

Hay muchos de nosotros.

¡Hay muchos ya!...

¡Que trabajan y rezan por la Paz!

Estoy a tu lado.

Salistes de mis entrañas,

Con sacrificio, servicio y algo mas...

Cancion a la Esperanza.

¡Cancion a La Paz!

POEMS ESPECIALLY FOR GRANDCHILDREN No. 4

ENCOUNTER

Somehow, I missed the moment the little girl said, “daddy”, and gave the man a kiss.

It passed by so quickly.  It was something to miss.

The man kissed the child, and then kissed the mother.

They were three, united together, no other.

The clouds gathered.  The park smelled of an air ready to rain.

The three walked across the park. They disappeared, leaving me alone, in awe, with a nostalgic pain.

I wanna hold on to every moment.

I wanna taste each bite I eat.

I wanna see what’s before me.

I wanna live, and hear each heart beat.

I wanna try for somethin’ better; make use of each and every day.

If I could only see what is right before me…

I think it would show me the best way!
