Bird song,
First rose in bloom.
Enjoying the simple things.
Feel of rain, and the warmth of sun
Blessings,
Priceless, often overlooked,
Treasures are free,
And in our lives
Abound.
Butterfly Cinquain
Find beauty and joy in the ordinary things that life brings.
“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.” –Eleonora Duse
What will you be today?
A beautiful bird
Singing a cheerful song,
Or a negative voice
That tears down others hopes?
What will you be today?
A beautiful flower
Sharing its sweet fragrance,
Or a cold bitter brook
Drowning in past regrets?
What will you be today?
A heart filled with love
Spreading joy to everyone,
Or just an empty shell
Casting shadows of doubt?
What will you be today?
The choice is yours alone.
You can change the world
Or let the world change you.

To splash away his troubles

Upon a high wire

His place in the sun
