Royal-Puddin

Hello all, from Artsieladie!

*Early Post*

"Royal Puddin'"

Royal Puddin' was an awesome buddy.
Loyal, true and a real quick study.
Though he's gone to a place far and beyond,
He sparkles my memory like a magic wand.



This original photo was taken by my cousin, Robin, of my beloved silver poodle, Royal Sterling Silver, more affectionately known as Royal Puddin'. Even though he lived to be almost 18 years old, it still was far from enough time I had with him. He was MY friend, my dog, and never liked having me out of his sight for an instant. He was a charmer and he learned how to do many tricks. Yours truly created a new background and added a frame and title. ©1981/2005-07. 



I will be doing a redo of this image. This is one of my early digital works when I first began doing digital work.

My-Brothers-Wings

Greetings from Artsieladie!

*Early Post*

I wrote this for my brother that I recently lost.......

My brother, Ed's, Memorial image. I was 'just' beginning to work digitally when I created this piece. I will be redoing it at some time in the future. ©2005/05/10 All rights reserved.

"My Brother's Wings"

Across the wild, blue yonder,
A new pair of wings are flying.
As a blessed, new soul
Crosses the fold
To a new life of living, not dying.

Up, up and away a new angel's risen
To try on his new pair of wings,
Where he'll sit upon high
And watch from the sky,
Where he'll reside with the 'King of Kings'.

Though his worldly life has come to a close,
But forgotten shall not be,
'Cause the light for him
Will never grow dim
In our hearts we'll carry thee.

As an American, he walked proud,
And served his country well;
As he did partake
For all our sake
To keep our Liberty Bell.

He resented injustice
And those that always would take.
Someone in need
Was his friend indeed
With no air portrayed as fake.

Family ties were important to him
For he spent much time at such,
'Cause he had to see
Know the family tree
To him this mattered much.

He loved the world that God created,
But not always those in charge,
'Cause all the self seekers
Couldn't lace his sneakers
Or match integrity this large!

He reserved for those that earned
His admiration and his trust.
Compliments from him received
Were not easy, for he believed
You, deserving be, a must.

A measure of greatness in a man is true,
As to how he regards his mother.
He loved and adored
And worshiped the board
She stands on like no other!

It was mostly within himself
As to where he found the fault
He never conceived
Nor truly believed
In his own wisdom vault.

Though he's gone on before us
And boarded that heavenly train,
We're sad, it's true,
Dismayed and blue...
But, in our hearts he shall remain.

We'll look to the heavens much brighter.
Our comfort shall come from afar,
'Cause we all will know
That a new heavenly glow
Shines from his soul...a star!

My-Friend-My-Mother

Hello all, from Artsieladie!

*Early Post*

Written especially for my Mom! I will likely redo the image since I created this when I was just starting to do art digitally. ♥

"My Friend, My Mother"

What words do I write? What words can I say?
About my dear Mother, when there is really no way...
To adequately state, to totally uphold,
A real superwoman which never gets told.
The credit she deserves cannot be explained.
Exalt her I do for she's truly ordained.
Her spirit is relentless. Her courage so great.
With a heart so big I can only elate.
Her will is astounding though her mountains are steep.
Her compassion's abounding. Her integrity runs deep.
With endurance so endless and vitality...did I mention?
Perseverance, she has plenty, her best, her intention.
A greater compliment I could never receive...
Compared with my mother? Truly, I can't even perceive
For she is unique, surely one of a kind.
For one, even remotely, like her...never could find!

My dear Mother I honor. My dear Mother I praise.
The Lord, always, He's with her for she lives by His ways.
Never shall I know again, one so dear and true.
My dearest, most beloved friend, I truly, deeply love YOU!!!

Sometimes-Take-Time

Hello all, from Artsieladie!

*Early Post*

"Sometimes...Take Time"

Sometimes... Throughout our busy days...
In the chaos and the craze...
While we strive to live like kings,
We forget IMPORTANT things!

The beauty of a tree -
Ah, yes, a child's wonder -
Or of a rose in bloom -
Do we dare to ponder?

Seemingly insignificant matters, like thoughts 'n' prayers 'n' such...
Well, maybe, "We'll do it later...." ('cause it doesn't matter much!")
Not only of our time, is our sparing small,
But, with all our "gotta' haves", we don't recognize the call.
Of someone in need, a stranger or a friend,
Maybe just a helping hand, is all we need to lend.

You see? If it doesn't fit... within our schedule range,
Our accustomed style... we simply cannot change!
I'm not going that way... I don't think I can...
I've got to get my 'this'... That's not within my plan...
These are some 'excuses' that we're guilty of each day,
But, if we thought a moment... I bet we'd find a way!
To make a call or two or help someone in need,
If we did without a little, it would magnify, indeed!

If our material possessions were all just stripped away,
Would we be left standing... naked and in dismay?
Could we look inside our soul and be content in what we see
Or would we make some changes and throw away the key?

To the door of 'think of me'... be sure it's locked up tight,
'Cause a whole new door will open as you're showered with the light!
No longer will you have to worry about your little self,
'Cause the care you give to others will not remain upon the shelf!

You'll be surrounded in ways you can't imagine thus,
You'll feel much more significant and no more like a 'wuss'!
The rewards in life are plenty. They are there for all of us,
If we do a little caring and refocus how we fuss!

So, let us all each day find some time for others.
Share our thoughts and feelings with our sisters and our brothers.
I don't mean just family here... although they're number one,
But also, with the other souls that may not always be as fun!

Let me just say..... that I'm guilty of this, too...
That's why I'm sharing thoughts as I think of you.
And if tomorrow I'm not here, 'cause we never know what's next,
I want my family and friends to know and not to feel perplexed.

To say the way I feel... that I love each and every one...
Just doesn't seem adequate or that my task is done!
So, if there's any doubt in your minds as of today...
Remember this I've said and I mean just what I say!
I want to say one more thing, this, most of all...
May you each know God's Blessings. May they be showered on you ALL!!!

Don't become so busy in your life that you miss what's really the most important.
