Take me back to childhood days
Where I climbed towers tall
As if it was yesterday
And I had no cares at all

Crystal Signature
Upon my window
A wintery work of art
An icy design
Jack Frost leaves his calling card
January visitor

On the Fence
Making decisions
Often not an easy task
Dealing with pros and cons
My heart tells me that I should
My mind tells me that I can’t

Finding “The Light”
A sudden insight!
The reality of a deity,
Is revealed those wise,
Who bearing gifts for a King,
Now receive God’s offering!

Seeking the Star
An Epiphany!
The Wise Men journeyed afar,
Following a star.
Gentiles seeking a Child King,
Treasured gifts for Him do bring.

On the Second Day
Christmas packed away,
Another New Year has begun!
Resolutions made.
Seeking opportunities,
I anticipate each day!

Contemplating Choices
Thoughts on the New Year…
Remain on the beaten path
Or forge a new trail?
Relax in my comfort zone
Or try something brand new?

Common Cliches
“Just grin and bear it!”
“Put on a smile and wear it!”
“Cheer up! That’s just life!”
Cliches meant to uplift us,
Are often cause for more strife.

Plant Milieu
Prayer plant flourishing!
Plants reflect environment?
Peace plant doing poorly,
But as long as there is life,
There is hope for peace to grow.

Fact vs Reality
On the calendar,
The shortest day of the year.
December twenty first,
The first day that winter begins.
Sun shines, temp warm, work day long!
