Daisies on my porch sill
Soaking up the sun
The wind gently tugging at their pedals
The day slowly turns to night
The night sky brings their pedals to life
They begin to dance at the stars
With the moon as their partner
So happy to be alive
Now it’s time to rest
They relax for a time
Until the next morning’s light
Daisies on my porch sill
Are such a delight
28 unsuspecting people on a bus, jubilantly headed for what they hoped to be more celebration. Instead, they were met with fear, tragedy and a glimmering hope. A tractor trailer and a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos Junior Hockey League Team from the western Canada’s Saskatchewan province collided just north of Tisdale. While some lives hang in the balance, life will never be the same for those involved. There’s no going back, and going forward won’t be easy, but it can and will come in time. Community will now step in as will those around the world. You don’t have to know someone to care or grieve for loss. Tragedy, pulls at your heartstrings, it makes you want and hope for change. It makes you realize just how precious life is and what is and isn’t necessary. What’s important now, is being there for all those who lost someone or has someone in recovery. Support those in mourning in whatever way you can. Strength comes from love and support. Time heals all wounds.
We love you Saskatchewan!

We should all remember to:
‘Do unto others what you want done unto you.’ – Confucius
The Bible says – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” commonly known as “The Golden Rule”. (Matthew 7:12 NCV, see also Luke 6:31).
Thanks to all the soldiers past and present, here and gone who have sacrificed and continue to sacrifice their lives for our own. And to their families I lend my heart for their losses and warmth for their generosity of lending their loved ones to us. Your pain must have been and I’m sure continues to be great. Thank you all for your honour and dedication to your country the place we all call home. Gratefully yours on this Veterans Day, Felina Silver Robinson

Peaceful Dreams©

In the peace of our dreams at night
We desperately hold onto our thoughts
Holding on to everything good we feel and know
Eagerly trying to chase away the bad and those who cause it
When we close our eyes we see only what we want to see
We feel only what we want to feel
We bring back the memories we want to bring back
These are our peaceful times
In this I see a meadow filled with lilies
Frogs sitting across from each other with the same look that we have
As we lay stretched out on the hill
On our backs we lay
The clouds swiftly moving overhead
We count the seconds it takes for each group to pass us by
The seagulls are racing each other, who will win
We close our eyes to hide from the sun
Hoping that our peaceful dreams won’t pass us by
How long do we wait until we slip into a dream?
