Royal Orchestra – Haiku
Ah, morning breezes
leaves sway to your melody
sunrays dance along

The gleaming sunrays
just like silly little elves
scamper in the breeze!

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!

The Gift of Faith
A distant rumble
cannot darken my delight
in nature’s beauty
By Martha L Shaw – © 6–10-2015 Words and Image

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!

When you plant the seeds of love
the roots grow strong,
those roots go deep,
and the plant reseeds itself
throughout the garden
and beyond!

The Decision
Smile when the sun shines,
Smile when it rains.
How we choose to see the world
Changes everything!

It is cold in my sanctuary this morning
But so vast a choir sings so sweetly
That my heart is warmed
And my spirit renewed.
