SPRING BLESSING

Royal Orchestra – Haiku

Ah, morning breezes

leaves sway to your melody

sunrays dance along

Dance of Joy

The gleaming sunrays

just like silly little elves

scamper in the breeze!

Sprung! – A Haiku

Frosted palm  branches

Spring giggles excitedly

winter’s slow retreat

HAPPY TEARS

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

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!

WATCH THE GARDEN GROW!

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!
