Beautiful fall day
Artistically painted trees
In various hues
Beckon me to pause awhile
And my five senses rejoice

Tanka poems
Out of the Cold
Dark chilly Fall night
Time to light the fireplace
Warmth enters the room
I give thanks that I am home
I pray for those who aren’t

Provision
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”

Based on Philippians 4:19 scripture
Strange Day
Friday the Thirteen.
Am not superstitious,
But this day seems odd.
Meeting many rude people.
Is it just a coincidence?

Fine Art
Big white fluffy clouds,
On a canvas of blue sky.
The Master Artist paints
Such a picture perfect day,
For those who choose to look up.

Rainbow after the Rain
His bow in the sky
A reminder of God’s promise
A beautiful sight
Seven vivid colors glow
Reflecting His love to us
(See Genesis 9:13-17)

It’s All Good
Such a perfect day
Enjoying it on my deck
Then it starts to rain
The perfect day ends with me
Not having to water deck flowers

August 25
My mom’s day of birth.
She is no longer here on earth.
Heaven celebrates
Her presence within its gates.
I remember her and give thanks.
In remembrance of my Mom who was born August 25, 1915 and passed into heaven October 10, 2001

Heart Treasures
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

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
