Our Special Treasures
People, places, things of our life
Kept within our hearts
Are gems we can share with others
A rich legacy of love

Butterfly Cinquain
Butterfly!
Not a dragonfly.
Many are the colors
Upon the iridescent wing
In flight.
I attempt to capture the sight
My eyes happened to see.
With pictured words,
I write.

Waiting
Waiting.
Passing the time.
In a room full of numbers
Counting is a priority.
My turn.
My number.
As I stand up everyone looks
With envy in their eyes.
My wait is over.
Freedom.

TIME Acrostic
Taking it to smell the flowers
Infusing it with joy and opportunities
Making it count
Enjoying it every moment

Heart Cry
My mouth wants to speak
But not a sound will come forth
At a loss for words
My heart cries out in despair
The Creator hears and responds

Eventide
The sun sets among
Purple mountain majesties
Our Flag waves goodnight

Debutant
An interesting day.
I learned a thing or two.
I did something,
I thought I’d never do.
I took the challenge.
I fiercely saw it through.
This made an ordinary day,
Into something quite brand new.
Opportunity visited,
And I made my debut.

Early Fall?
Maples are turning.
I see red, yellow, orange.
It’s too soon! Too soon!

Today’s Choice
Cloudy
Rain predicted
Alarm clock is beeping
I awake and choose to sleep in
Good choice
