| Solemn Pledge The time has come to unite as one. One heart, One mind, One soul. Awaken hearts to injustice and preservation of human rights. Acknowledge and assume responsibilities. Conscious choices create indivisible powers. Transformation and growth beyond self. Connections to every willing spirit, every creature and the universal planet. Endeavors of generosity, love and compassion and brotherhood. Elevate mankind to a sense of direction, higher purpose and meaning of life. Wisdom of the mind and inspirations from within. Service to Our fellow beings, Our nations, Our planet. Darla Fitzgerald Belmont County, Ohio Essence Of A Rocking Chair Towering and powerful, I stood proud. Ever changing and growing from season to season. Visions of my purpose and creation of art, I was handmade perfection through the harvest of love. Burnished oak, I am lionhearted and strong. Designed for the soul's reflection of life. Backwards and forwards, rocking in rhythm. Hearing a father singing his baby to sleep. Provider of solitude for concerns of the day. Keeper of secrets sheltered in the night. Near the fireplace shadows dance with memories. Blanket for warmth laid on my shoulders. My arms are worn and legs scarred with scratches. Character of age adds beauty of the years. Generation to generation, I will never grow weary. Rocking in rhythm with the movement of time. Darla Fitzgerald Belmont County, Ohio |
