After a short walk
Peaceful place to rest
Counting my blessings
In the shelter of the vine
I renew my strength and hope

One Step
One step
Often changes life
For the good
For the bad
It depends on choices made
At the time you step

Freedom Waves
Two Hundred Forty!
Thru many years of toil and strife
Our Banner yet waves

Happy 240th Birthday America!
Wave Upon Wave
Sitting on the shore
Pondering life’s events
Sea’s wave upon wave

Every Step
Walking with Jesus
Faithful and true companion
Always by my side
Each step He gives me strength
And guidance for the day

Restoration
Bowed, not broken.
Bruised, but will rise again.
In His mighty strength
And His tender compassion,
He will bring new life to me.
Tanka
(based on Matthew 12:20
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment to victory.)
A Purple Day
Resting on a bench
By the pretty purple vine
Enjoying the sunshine
Before the slow walk home
As if to say “Hi”
Purple petal visits me
Color match perfect
Enhancing my outfit’s color
Of purple and red today
Choka
Garden Music
Birdsong, buzzing bees,
Wind rustles flowers and trees
The garden’s music
Haiku
Welcome Guest
Delight!
Cedar Waxwing
Visiting my birdbath!
Welcome, my feathered friend!
Enjoy!

(Unfortunately, I was not able to capture my own photo of this bird as he visited my birdbath, as at that moment my camera wasn’t handy. But, this image I found on Wikipedia very much resembles him!)😊

Trusting God has a purpose
For this waiting game
