About the Poetry

All of the poems in this blog are spirit-inspired. Every word came to me each day for a full year while in deep meditation. I simply wrote what I heard onto a pad of paper in my lap with eyes closed – meaningful, multi-stanza verses in mere minutes. I was unaware of each poem’s theme until I transcribed it later word for word. Each day brought new and wondrous discoveries about the world beyond our five physical senses, incredible wisdom, and messages of hope which I share with you in this blog. The last poems received are displayed below on this page, but the entire collection of 365+ poems are archived here in the left-hand column. You can search by topic or keyword using the search box in the upper left corner. May you find among them just the right message which speaks to your heart.

Poem #96 - On Charity

Amid the clamor and the noise,
Hear these, our words…

Charity, a gift of the heart
Is a good place to start
To know the goodness that is yours.

When gifts are given
Asking nothing in return,
God’s good grace is what you earn.

We speak not just of money now
But gifts that you do so endow
That help to better other lives.
In this way, your love it thrives.

The giving of one’s self like this
Brings forth a kind of inner bliss.
But some do not know of this fact
And so they often fail to act.

Instead they focus on the self
And guard their treasures and their wealth.
But he who gives what’s his to keep
Great benefits are his to reap.

The lesson comes when you do give.
It’s such a grateful way to live.
For serving others with your time
Brings rewards indeed sublime.

Give selflessly at every shot.
Give what you can to he who has not.
And in so doing, earn the grace
That comes when you do put in place
The things that matter most in life
It starts with giving, sacrifice.

For nothing ever matters more
Than showing others to the door.
The door to heaven opens wide
And he who serves may step inside.
For through your actions do you show
That loving is the way you grow.

  1. Re-occurring words: "Hear" our words.

    Interesting how the poetry has matured and a harmony of thought has happened. I wonder how much of the themes of each poem is deposited in you.

  2. Living with gratitude...another beautiful message today from the World of Spirit.

    The seventh stanza brings the profession of teaching to mind, "For serving others with your time brings rewards indeed sublime." My fondest memories are of working with students in areas of poverty. Somehow the love returns a hundredfold. On to a better world through selfless giving and love for our "brothers."

    You, Suzanne, are the perfect example of someone living in gratitude. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us.
