Baptism of Tinley Welty


In your life important steps you'll take
Involve from on high and make no mistake.
Keep your Heavenly Father first all the time.
All else falls into place as you climb.

Your life is developing like a rose.
Each step you take will bring you closer, it shows 
The great person that your destined to become.
Your beauty shows when you smile and then some.

May love and kindness be your guiding light.
Make God's truth your compass day and night.
Make your faith grow so you can soar so high.
That your soul can feel God always nearby.

Christmas 2023 - Give into the spirit of giving

 Give into the spirit of giving

Can you feel it? It's near that time of year.
Placed here to wait patiently 'til this time.
Eager to share willingly in the cheer.
End the long haul during our yearly climb.

I love to share in all that is jolly.
It is not all for me this joyous praise.
It's not just for the festive tamale.
Together we'll spread the holiday glaze.

It doesn't matter if I'm green or red,
Old or New,
Round or Square,
Spelled which way or not,
Eyes opened or Closed.

A spell is found when we're brought out.
Experience it! Feel it! Share it all about.

Entrega al espíritu de dar
¿Puedes sentirlo? Está cerca la época del año.
Colocado aquí esperando pacientemente hasta este momento.
Deseoso en compartir voluntariamente la alegría.
Termine el largo recorrido durante nuestro ascenso anual.

Me encanta compartir todo lo que es alegre.
Para mí no es todo esta gozosa alabanza.
No es sólo para el tamal festivo.
Juntos esparciremos el glaseado navideño.

No importa si soy verde o rojo,
Viejo o nuevo,
Redondo o cuadrado,
Se escribe de qué manera o no,
Ojos abiertos o cerrados.

Se encuentra un hechizo cuando salimos.
¡Experimentalo! ¡Sentirlo! Compártelo con todos.

Holiday Tale of Comical Portions

Holiday Tale of Comical Portions
A holiday tale, a comical sight,
For old Mr. Cubmaster, a jolly soul,
And his six cub scouts all gathered in delight,
For a game to make their spirits glow.

Joined together for some holiday fun.
A modified Yankee swap with a spin
With dice you roll a 7 or 11 is how it's done.
Each had brought a gift they had hoped to win.

A warning given that fun shall be had
But someone was bound to end up in tears.
Dice rolled as the game began, none started mad.
With each present opened, for each one compares.

Was each happy with an opened present?
Except for one, that was really unpleasant.

The gift isn't yours yet for we'd just begun.
The rules state that a speed round will now start.
Pass your gift, roll the dice, for you're not done.
Keep your gift, pass the dice and don't take part.

Emotions high with time now against you.
Wait your turn cause you don't like what you've got.
Can't wait cause your gift no one wants, its' true.
Dismay is seen across the room a lot.

Seven rolled, a gift is now seen flying.
The gift no one wants passed from hands to hands.
Time is now up and one ends up crying
Gift of toilet paper, who understands.

Holiday games should be fun and jolly.
Next time we'll get rid of any volley.

The Gran Maestro

 Sonnet dedicated to The Gran Maestro


In fields aglow, where life met its sweet end,
A tiller of earth, lost in time's embrace,
He tended the land, a soul to commend.
With sun-kissed toil and a steadfast grace.

His faithful Deere, through seasons it flows,
In furrows deep, his dedication true.
His spirit resides where the harvest grows.
A legacy sown, in each morning dew.

The soil, his canvas, made him a better man.
With vibrant colors he had found his place.
Each crop, a testament, to a better plan.
A symphony spun in each furrow's space.

Bill Your memory lives in every sheaf,
You lived a life well-lived, beyond belief.

Calaverita Literaria 2023

Podría decirme quien es primera.
Se mueve más que cualquiera.
La mujer vestida tan guapa.
Mírala luciendo con su capa.

Su paseo en forma de escoba.
Llegando a su alcoba.
Cansada de la jornada
Se acostaba en mero madrugada.

En su bolsa hay de muchas pinturas.
Por allí escondia todos sus travesuras.
Sacando sus brochas de maquillaje,
Para ponerse bella antes de su reportaje.

Puedes decirme quien seria?
Mucho más de otra abuelita.
Ella es hermosa y muy preciosa.
Como las flores de primavera es muy valiosa. 

An epic death of a boy as he becomes a man

A death occurred in this young boy
Nothing known caused this loss of joy
Your little boy's gone, enough said
And now a man appears instead.

Ocurrió la muerte de este joven
Nada pasó lo que conocen.
Ya se fue tu niñito
Un hombre será para todo infinito.

Is Anyone There?

Is Anyone There?
I've a story for you to hear, so listen up.
A story not for the faint to hear, so heads-up.
We drove along the dirt road while on our way here.
With pine trees aligning the road, the same each year.
Around each corner you would think, are we there yet?
Anxious to sit near this campfire, glad it's not wet.

When the road seems to end, did we take a wrong turn?
Our journey has started out on a big downturn.
In the road someone has parked a small little car.
And he's still siting in it, inclined back too far.
We honk really loud to make our presence known.
He didn't move at that sound he was still as a stone.

We all went silent for we all knew what we found.
It's "Drop Dead Fred", we were scared and turned right around.
None has been seen alive after seeing him dead.
We hope it won't happen to us, it's not our deathbed.
Lucky that we are here now around open flame.
Won't take that shortcut again to avoid such fame.

Now that tent over there it seems to be flashing.
Take this flashlight right here and slowly in passing,
Check to see if that is not his tent over there.
For the story goes he will take you to his lair.
Never to be seen again. If you do see him,
Run back here as fast you can and will sing his hymn.

Drop Dead Fred.
Drop Dead Fred.
You're made up in my head.

Wedding Hopes

Wedding Hopes
I would like to share a secret.
I can't take any of this credit.
You started in this state of love.
Barely able to thrive outside thereof.

Seeds of romance gave you a kick start
Lock on tight and don't depart.
You need to season it with passion,
Sprinkled with a bit of reason and compassion.

Experience comes with a bowl full of heart.
Hope strung up so high, it'll never depart.
With a potential for joy saying I love you.
Together build a oneness out of two. 

Esperanza de boda
 Me gustaría compartir un secreto.
 No puedo tomar nada de este crédito.
 Empezaste en este estado de amor.
 Apenas capaz de prosperar fuera de él.

 Las semillas del romance te dieron un empujón
 Cierra bien y no te vayas.
 Hay que sazonarlo con pasión,
 Salpicado de un poco de razón y compasión.

 La experiencia viene con un cuenco lleno de corazón.
 La esperanza está tan alta que nunca se irá.
 Con un potencial de alegría diciendo te amo.
 Juntos construyan una unidad a partir de dos.

How Do I React?

How do I react? 2023-05-22

You'd think that we always know how to react.
After peaceful floating down the river.
Silence severed, causes me to shiver.
Pugnacious event almost made contact.

Didn't stop there cause a third couldn't keep quiet.
Denigrating words to hurt or ev'n more.
Everyone's emotions about to soar.
Luck came and we avoided the riot.

How do you help in times of a flare-up?
What if I step up or do I call-out?
Do I try to avoid the eye contact?

Is it the right time or place to speak up?
What if it happened and a fight broke out?
Sure, Do I always know how to react?

#BecauseOfHim Easter 2023

Easter Poem 2023 #BecauseOfHim
Have you heard that he will arrive.
Savior and King who helps us strive.
He prepared the temple for me,
To connect with the Father on bended knee.
Heavenly words shared to both of us
Given to understand and discuss.
A sacrament of supper to represent
His body and blood was spent.
He completed the transaction of the Law.
Atoned for all including every flaw.
His betrayal and trial led him
To give of his life which we sing in our hymns.
Started this great work to bring all
To know we can be saved, even big and small.

The great blessing of this Atonement remit.
Receive it. Practice it. Share it. Cherish it. Love It.

All Things Done

 All Things Done

Time keeps slipping hours after hours
Spring keeps springing which brings flowers.
Book after book you have read
Word after word, enough has been said.

Submitting papers with so many nouns.
No video chat cause your one of those clowns.
University life has so many ups and downs
Graduating will have the biggest sounds.

So what was the point of all this work.
The title of 'Graduate' can be a big perk.
Go find your niche that will make you rich
Before you end up in a ditch.

Where did the time go you hear it said.
It don't matter cause you can now make YOU instead.

Hear His voice and see Him

Poem - Hear His voice and see Him 2023-01-29
What would you do with joy, when before you
A cross to bear was placed on your shoulders.
Find joy in the voice of Love, stick with glue
The voice of God it's found. Be a holder

Showing this love to our neighbor and God.
For family members by moments shared.
Kindness gave with a spirit of one squad.
Focus on what needs are to be repaired

A grand pearl of greatest price can be found
When with God you are eternally bound.

Treasure It In My Heart

Treasure It In My Heart
Time is now gone like a good snack
We learned of things great and small. 
I do wish that we could go back
To those moments we shared with all. 

Life teaches us from the throwbacks.
Wouldn't want to replace what we saw.
Could I just rewrite my own tracks.
Learn again even with a flaw.

I'll remember and do my part.
I will treasure you in my heart.

We have felt a lose of someone,
But now we can learn even more.
We might think it might all be done.
Their memory is more than lore.

Losing someone special will cut
You to the core but would they want
the best for you is really what
Be just like a true confidant.

I'll remember and do my part.
I will treasure you in my heart.

Love Bond & Sacred Oil

Sacred Oil

Letting God prevail in our life,
Yet with times we turn it away.
Forgive and let bond of love thrive.
Reconnect together each day.

Plant hearts with promisory note
And strains of sin-resistant souls.
We feel like just barely a float
Choose small ways for synchronized goals.

Reconnect together each day.

Plant hearts with promisory note
And strains of sin-resistant souls.
We feel like just barely a float
Choose small ways for synchronized goals.

Her Eyes - Yoda-Style

 Her Eyes - Yoda-Style




For hours stare at them I could.

Lost by some unforeseen powers myself I find.

Blink and try to guess dare not I

Would consider to say yes why she?


Only part of her beauty Yes her eyes.

The full package of a cutie she is.

To God that she has two eyes I thank.

A double surprise to me each day I get.


Traduccion Espanol


Por horas mirarlos fijamente pude.

Perdido por algunos poderes imprevistos me encuentro.

Parpadear y tratar de adivinar no me atrevo

¿Consideraría decir sí por qué ella?


Sólo una parte de su belleza sí sus ojos.

El paquete completo de una chica que es.

A Dios que tiene dos ojos le doy gracias.

Una doble sorpresa para mí cada día que recibo.
