I wonder and worry,
But God speaks in many ways.
He often whispers when
I find a penny or dime:
“I will provide for your needs”

A New Day
Today,
My life goes on,
And yesterday’s cares fade.
What a difference a day makes.
Time heals.

The Sacrifice
It’s done. It’s over,
The locks lay in piles on the floor.
The curls of contention,
Are no more.
Pushed to the breaking point,
He gave in.
He gave up the hair he loved,
And the dream he held within.
To conform to others wishes,
He put his feelings aside.
He became their new person,
While his real identity died.

Dedicated to my grandson Dylan
Word Power
Life. Death.
The difference
Is often a thin thread
That one careless word could snap and break.
Caution
Needed.
Be very careful when speaking words.
They have power to change life
For better or worse.
Choose wisely.

Strange Day
Friday the Thirteen.
Am not superstitious,
But this day seems odd.
Meeting many rude people.
Is it just a coincidence?

Night Time Rain
High temps
Flowers in the sun
Concerned for their welfare
Awoke to find God watered them
Over night

Summer’s Return
Sun rises big and bright
Heat Wave has come upon us
Indian Summer dawns

What To Do?
So many projects
But so very little time
I prioritize

Grand Ma
White hair
Face wrinkled with age
Her eyes sparkle with love
I seek her wisdom about life
