G-H-O-S-T-S   

              Aromas, flavors,                            

          touches, sights, and sound:                    

                Each sensation as                                

                                    "a ghost" bringing forth

                                   mem'ries that abound.

Fountain pen   

I dip into the deep ink well

So filled with thoughts and tales to tell,

And as I guide my tool with glee,

With bated breath I wait to see

What things my fountain pen will write

To inform and, -- to bring delight.

  RESURRECTION

All praise to the Father, Who in His great plan

Sent Jesus, His Son – the eternal God-Man

 To Earth to reveal to the world God's great love

And provide our Salvation as planned above.

He lived amongst humans; for our sins He died

on Calv'ry's cross, then even death He defied!

For just three days later He rose from the tomb,

And now, “Hallelujah!” We're saved from sure doom –

Each one who receives His gift freely given!

Thank You, Father for Your Son's resurrection!
