Taken Sunrise on Black Friday, November 25th 2011 in Gun Barrel City on Cedar Creek Lake in Texas at OZ our lakehome
The following poem from my first published book, has been a favorite poem for many years. It has been republished several times in the Dallas Morning News, The McKinney Courier Gazette, and various major web sites. From my family to yours, our best wishes and blessings.
Over the last year, I am especially appreciative of all the positive feedback I have received on this WordPress web site. Thank You All!
Blessings, a special gift from God. Given in prayer given when no hope seems apparent. Blessings bring joys when there is darkness laughter where there are tears. Could these blessings be but tears from God? A way that our God lets us know, that He truly is there and yes He does exist? At times these gifts are given when never expected to let us know truly love and concern is there for us all. If you have forgotten on this day the many special blessings rendered to you. In this blessed thing called Life. Get on your knees render thanks to our God. He will only bless you with more of His eternal Love."Beyond Pain and Into Love Again" copyright 2005 John J.

When such pain goes beyond
metal against metal
pushing and tearing
beyond the tolerances of strength.
Truly oh what passion
lies within thee
when finding release again
in one who will truly love you again
in the truth of their spirit and heart.
Heart be still
mind be of strength
love awaits.
This time to carry you beyond
the eternal doors of joy and happiness.

Amidst the crowd
I looked up from my thoughts
and there you were.
The smile told me
you were watching over me.
Caring for me
Loving me from afar
protecting me.
It was a flash from eternity
that allowed me this vision.
Thank you God
for not forgetting me
and continuing
to Love me.

One day
We will walk the path of light.
Unsure if our Lord will be pleased with us.
Will we be met with an embrace of Love
or will we see disappointment in the Face of our Saviour?
Least we forget the gifts of our Lord.
Will we be judged
on how we shared His gifts?
