Sun kisses red roses
Trees dance in the morning breeze
Shadows of night flee

Field Flowers
Don’t worry, go forth
Dressed in His finery.
Flowers of the field
Clothed in His great splendor
Far greater than Solomon
Tanka
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. Matthew 6:28-29
Real Beauty
Real beauty shows
It cant be hidden by life
Like Pink Posies
Beauty will shine forth
Even on a cloudy day

Book of Life
Let’s write a good book.
I’m not a writer you say,
Yet daily you unfold,
The living story of your life.
For the world to see
It’s told by your words and actions,
Recorded in minds
Of those you interact with.
Are you proud to be its Author?

And dressed you in royalty
