Ah, morning breezes

leaves sway to your melody

sunrays dance along

Dance of Joy

March 10, 2019

The gleaming sunrays

just like silly little elves

scamper in the breeze!

Sprung! – A Haiku

March 2, 2019

Frosted palm branches

Spring giggles excitedly

winter’s slow retreat

Memories are not always heartbreakers. There will come a time when tears become joy as the love is still in our hearts. As I wrote something on a different time in my life, though I miss people, places, and things from back then, I also feel the joy and love that I felt then and still can feel IT.. At this moment my feet are cold because this artist feels the snow that had fallen . . and the glow of evening’s moonlight. I can see Mom’s smiling face watching me through the window and can recall her scurrying off to bed so I would not know she watched. She didn’t want to upset me. Silly Mama! IT NEVER DID!

LOVE AND LILIES

June 2, 2017

The Gift of Faith

A distant rumble

cannot darken my delight

in nature’s beauty

When I got my first home, knowing nothing of gardening, I was amazed when the neglected yard suddenly come spring had lilies in bloom! When I relocated some years later filled with hopes and dreams, I also faced many unexpected challenges. I still do. Come spring though, I was again surprised by those same lilies! I still know nothing about gardening, but I know my Savior’s redeeming love. I saw it that day in the lilies He gave to me! The lilies bloomed again today!
