In Loving Memory of Esther Weaver of Middlefield, Ohio.

The Smile of a Rose.

This friend of mine, by Gods design
gave memories I so adore.
Her Brightly lit eyes, looked to the skies
for guidance from God and much more.
Her laughter filled the hearts she tilled,
willing to sow many seeds.
Sharing the Love, from God above,
while clearing the Garden of weeds.
Always kind words, like songs of birds
She ever so willingly chose.
I will miss dear, as God wipes my tear,
My friend with The Smile of a Rose.

Say Hi to Jesus for us Esther.

With the Love of God in our Hearts
Your Friend in Christ

Thinking Inside to Out (thinking outside of the box)

While banging thoughts off these 6 walls
Yes, 4 sides, above, and below
An injustice like notion fervently mauls
The potential in me yet to grow
My mind is bigger than my limited zone
I’m told to stop thinking from in 

Yet this contemplation is all I’ve known
The external I’ve yet to delve in
Imagined or real I see the locks
That constrain my intellects route
How can I think outside of the box,
If no-one will let me out?
