White roses greet
Squirrel and birds in a tree
Charming bench for rest
Many delights for my soul
God offered me today

Underneath The Tree
Mere weeds they may be
Yet a colorful delight
Dancing with the wind

Doubts
To win
Don’t dwell with doubts
Doubts are just traitors
They promote fear, cause loss
In life
They keep attempts from happening
Quench good and create losers
Do not listen
To them
Butterfly Cinquain
(Inspired by Shakespeare)
“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.”
-William Shakespeare
Slight Breeze
A warm summer day
Birds seek the shade of the trees
To escape the sun
But, outside my window
Wind plays with petunias
Tanka
Winds of Renewal
Memories resurface
Unwanted, scattered by faith,
Petals in the wind.

How To Get to Heaven
It’s really not hard at all
Just listen for God’s call
He supplies the faith you need
Just let go, let Him lead
His Son has made the Way
So follow Him today
In your heart believe
Salvation you’ll receive
Rhyme
…confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:9-10
For Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6
Evening Sky
As evening wanes
Clouds gather at sun’s setting
And hide the moon’s face

Solid Rock
Wondering…
What stories you hold?
What have you
Seen and heard,
Sitting there observing life?
A silent listener?
Shadorma
(This big rock caught my eye today. It was sitting in a grassy area of the parking lot of a busy mall. As I started to pass it by I had the thoughts which inspired me to write the poem and take the photo. 😊
Little by Little
Each day,
Accomplishments
Begin to add up for me!
Soon my restoration will be
Achieved!

Good Fruit
Jesus wise words
Trees are known by their fruit.
Promote the good
Out of the mouth the heart speaks
Fill your heart with good treasure
Tanka
For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Luke 6:44-45
