Looking good on the outside
Take a second glance

Time Goes By
Day becomes night so soon
No sooner than the sun rises
Then there comes the moon
Day becomes night so soon
Quickly morning turns to afternoon
Time never apologizes
Day becomes night so soon
No sooner than the sun rises

In Honor of Lost Socks
No sock left behind
Remember those lost socks
That served you well
Whether white, red, grey, black
Honor them on this day in May

Special “Happy Day” Shoutout to my online friend: Iris at: Iris@Poetsmith.wordpress.com
All Around Us
Wounded hearts
And fractured lives
Full of pain
Full of anger
Broken spirits seeking hope
And a healing touch

Job’s Question
Afraid?
What is “the thing”?
What is the “that” in you
Which is so big it causes such
Great Fear?
Wonder if someday it suddenly
Becomes real and comes?
What will you do?
Panic?
Or Pray?
What will you do?
Will you fight or just freeze?
Will you crumble in trepidation?
I know
What i would do because it’s come.
And I am trusting God
To remove it
From me.
Double Butterfly Cinquain
Job 3:25–“For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.”
A Word Like an Arrow
Harshly spoken into the night air
The word like a poison arrow landed
Seemingly twas shot without a care
Harshly spoken into the night air
Its speaker seemed quite unaware
That a young loving heart was badly branded
Harshly spoken into the night air
The word like a poison arrow landed

For The Birds
A day that honors
Our many feathered friends
The Backyard Birds,
Who serenade us with song
And wake us from sleep
In the early morning light,
With their sweet cooing
Sounds and cheerful songs of joy.
Oh, that we should do the same!

Simple Solution
Be a Wandraiser
Animals need wands
To help them
Not magic
Wands, but old mascara wands
Recycled and Reused
You can help.
It’s a little thing.
Something
You can do.
Wildlife and enviroment
Benefit from this.
