Special days happen
Because people take time
To make them so
Senryu
I enjoyed a very special birthday today because so many people took the time to make it so for me. My family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances all shared their wishes in some way to make the day great, and for that I am feeling especially grateful and blessed!

Tomorrow, Lord willing, begins
A new
Chapter in
The book of life here on earth
One that has been filled
With great blessings

Home is my happy place
Filled with special treasures
Only my heart knows
Senryu
Each day
Above us loom
Clouds of uncertainty
Attempting to blanket our hope
We sigh,
And then,
We see the sun, our smiling friend,
Appear, chasing the clouds,
Restoring hope,
And life

I don’t know the why
But I know the One who does
He sits upon high
I don’t know the when
But I know the One who does
And He knows the time to begin
I don’t know the how
But I know the One who does
And I’ll trust Him in the now
I don’t know the where
But I know the One who does
And He’s already there
I don’t know the end
But I know the One who does
And I’m glad He’s my friend
Rhyme
Much better to share
Scatter seeds everywhere
Fill the world with flowers
Haiku
Turn mistakes into happiness
Let your creativity flow free
Let those mishaps bring joy
Turn errs into success
Then you’ll be happy
With life’s work
When all is
Said and
Done

What I love about watercolor is that a lot of happy accidents occur.
—Jane Seymour
Smile at everyone
Believe in yourself
Respect others
Dream a million dreams
Create joy and gladness
Imagine new things
Bless everyone and everything
Faith gives strength
Grace is needed daily
Kindness is always welcomed
Peace is precious
Love is the greatest treasure
Hope is an anchor
Joy is contagious-give some away
Free Verse
I had been wanting to create a place to share my painted rocks with others and also offer the opportunity for others to place and share rocks they paint, so after several months of hoping, dreaming, planning and praying it came to fruition in a wonderful way and today it was completed! I am very happy with how it all turned out and feel blessed that it has already been noticed, used, and admired by many in my neighborhood. I am hoping now that it continues to grow and expand!
Many tomorrows
Have swiftly come and gone
Yet we still keep on
Looking for their appearance
Oft missing the joy of today
Tanka
Long passed
Yet on she lives
Memories and music
The treasures she left behind
For us
