THE FIRST BREATH OF LIFE
by Anne R. C. Neale
When a baby is born God gives it the first breath,
God breathes into its lungs to make it cry,
That first breath is a gift that is done by God,
God gives the first breath of life, that is His to do, that is why,
Our breath of life is [...]

YOU NEVER KNOW
by Anne R. C. Neale
You never know what lies ahead
You never know where your Spirit will be lead,
You never know when good news will come
You never know when your life will be done.
You never know when things will go awry
You never know when you’ll be sad or cry,
You never know how you your [...]

I had a discussion the other day with a friend about guardian angels. Do you have one? I do. Here’s some poetry for my friend.

This poem is attributable to Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’s grandmother in the book “The Wheel of Life — A Memoir of Living and Dying” by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.
Always when you think
You cannot make it anymore
From out of nowhere
Comes a little light.
This little light
Will renew your strength
And give you the energy
To go one more step.

The Leader is best,
When people are hardly aware of his existence,
Not so good when people praise his government,
Less good when people stand in fear,
Worst, when people are contemptuous.
Fail to honor people, and they will fail to honor you.
But of a good leader, who speaks little
When his work is done, his aim fulfilled,
The people say, ‘We [...]
