Give me a sign Lord
Tell me what I need to do
A wall hanging speaks

This Day
Last,
Final,
Day of October.
A special day?
What will you call it?
October thirty first?
Perhaps Reformation Day?
Or Halloween Trick and Treat Day?
Where will your focus be today?
“This is the day the Lord has made” Rejoice!
“Again I say Rejoice!” Give thanks!
The Lord gives another day of life!
Focus on making it special.
Look for new opportunites.
Enjoy every moment.
Think positive thoughts.
Live, Love, Laugh.
Help someone.
Share your
Smile. 😊

Sobering Thought
We will all fade as a leaf.
Do we not know this?
What to do?

Society’s Bench
Charming bench,
A place to rest
In quiet peace,
Never used.
Though many pass by everyday,
None have time.

Hidden Beauty
You who were once dressed in green
Have changed to a new color
That was kept hidden all summer
By Captain Chlorophyll.
Scarlet beauty
In a moment
You will be
Out of
Time.

Uncaptured Beauty
Autumn posed for me
Outside my window
Her golden brown skirt
Flowing upon a carpet of green
She stood
With one arm draped in scarlet
The other in gold
The wind gasped and held its breath
The song birds sat in silence
As I tried to capture her beauty
With my muted watercolors
In frustration I shouted “No!”
All this silence must go!
Her beauty she must show
Vividly, boldly, richly,
Her colors cannot be muted
They must glow and burst forth
Awaking the senses
Blazing forth vibrantly
Until Autumn is no more!
Free Verse
This poem wrote itself as I stood looking out my patio window at the colors of Autumn and pondering in my heart of how I might paint the beauty that was in front of me. Quickly realizing though that these vibrant colors should not be muted by watercolor, I chose to take a photo instead 😊
Answered Prayers
I gaze
Upon the bench
I sat upon this Summer,
My place of rest where I pondered
Wellness,
While praying for recovery,
And His daily strengthening,
And give thanks
He gave.
