GHRISTMAS GIFT in three languages!

CHRISTMAS GIFT

In life we always expect something of others.

What a joy it is to give something to our friends, 
sisters and brothers.

Some appreciate Love, Spirit, and Grace.

Others despise everything, live in hate,
and are uneasy in any place.

So this year my gift to all, everywhere, 
even those in Rome…

Is the elevation of desires of Good Will and Well-being

Embodied in this sincere poem!

REGALO DE NAVIDAD

En la vida tendemos a esperar algo de los otros.

Que alegría poder dar algo a los amigos, y hermanos!

Algunos lo aprecian, digo Amor, Espíritu, y la Gracia.

Otros desprecian todo, viven en odio, y nada les sacia.

Así que, este ano, mi regalo para todos, en todos lados, 
hasta los en La Roma…

Es la elevación de deseos de Buena Voluntad, y Bienestar,

Compuesto sinceramente, en esta poema.

Regalo di Natale

Nella nostra vita tendiamo ad aspettarsi qualcosa 
dagli altri

Che gioia potere di dare qualcosa agli amici e fratelli

Alcuni apprezzano questo gesto; ma io dico:

"l'amore, lo spirito, la grazia"

Altri disprezzano tutto, vivono con odio, 
niente li saziano

Cosí che, esto capodanno, il mio regalo per tutti,

in tutti i loughi, anche a Roma...

È l'elevazione di desideri di buona volontà, 
e benessere...

Composti in questa poesía.

Poem For a Merry Christmas through the years!!!

This goes way back!  2001 was a tough year!  

This is very simple, yet tender!

Not too much later after writing this Aunt Regina,

whose birthday was December 14th, and who lived

to be 100 years old, sent me a small Angel pendant!!!

I think I invented a word in English "pendant", which

in Spanish is "pendiente"!!!

CHRISTMAS ANGEL

(Christmas, 2001)

Let me take you in my ample, silver wings,

Let me sing a lullaby;

Hear the gentle hand-bells softly tingle in your ears,

Knowing intuitively,

I am always near.

I am your Christmas Angel,

God’s Unconditional Love,

And through me, God,  Baby Jesus, and Espiritu,

Are watching, ever pendant

To your every need,

                                 Above!

Poem for Christmastime. Have a REALLY GREAT CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR!!!

GUADALUPE

(Se festeja El Día de la Virgen de Guadalupe el 12 de diciembre!)

La iglesia es como ella, la misma como ese día,

Un día de Espíritu, y de alegría.

Ella es todo lo que Dios siempre soñó.

Ella es constante, consecuente, incondicional!

Sufre en silencio.  Guarda su secreto. 

Espera en las penas.  Sonríe tras tanta dificultad.

Vence a los obstáculos, aprende, logra ser humildemente sabia,

Y persiste en la adversidad.

Es seria, con las notas esenciales de amor, anuncia, alabanza,

Y sobre todo brilla con la calidad,

De tierna caridad!!!

                  Por: Karla

Feliz: Merry, Mary, Marry CHRISTMAS!!!   

With a “WORM” hug..., La Kar “nada”!!!

Poem: For The Virgin of Guadalupe

6 JANUARY, 2009

PLAYFUL LITTLE VIRGIN

It was the 12th of December, 2008,
the Saint day of Guadalupe,
            the Virgin of America and Mexico.
The priest had prepared for the sermon his speech and lexica.

He told how he had prayed that
   the virgin be present for him,
went to buy nativity scenes
   at "el Carmelo", the monastery, because of a whim...

A nun brought forth an image

 (In a way of great mystery)

Of the virgin of Lujan

And said, “for you she must be"!

I listened through all of the Mass.
I've studied and contemplated these things, as if in a class.
He said, "The Virgin appears in many forms, ways and clothes".
It is the same spirit in different ways
                                           that she chose...

I had an image of Guadalupe,
               (a pamphlet of her peregrination
               of 1992 through South America) in my purse...
All my accumulated feelings and spirit,
             the best of me, to the weakest or worse...

So after mass I gave up the
                  Virgin of Guadalupe,
(identifying with her as spiritual bait)...
So that her generous love, grace and care,
               can arrive and not be late!

Thus, ask and you shall receive.
Trust a little, and believe,
brother, or sister, believe!

Because though we reject her...
           In her many forms, she still tries
to add something more special and beautiful...
                                                      To our lives!

POEM/SONG FOR THANKSGIVING!

BLOSSOMS OF PRAYER FOR THANKSGIVING

(November 12, 2014)

This is my prayer,

My prayer to you.

For all that’s best,

Good, meaningful and true.

A hope held in the sun,

Sunsets, oracles, fire burning, incense,

And spiritual love.

It goes beyond,

Touches deep within,

And gives us hope,

Doing away with sin.

Is this really what our Creator wants?

Rising thanks, contrite and conversion of our hearts!
