A speech, a promise
Strong words spoken now go forth
Seeds for fallow ground

Wonder…
Wonder if your pen could change a life?
Wonder if you used it to:
Stand up for a worthy cause,
Scribe encouraging words,
Sign to Volunteer,
Endorse a check,
Craft a poem,
Story,
Write!

Seasonal Shifting
As Seasons shift gears
There’s a shift in the weather
Chilly Autumn breeze
Haiku
Ever Green
Autumn
Brings color changes
To most, but the Evergreens
Refuse her yearly takeover
Always

One Step
One step
Often changes life
For the good
For the bad
It depends on choices made
At the time you step

One Week Ago
One week ago
Lying in Emergency Room
Uncertainty abounds
Amid pain, fear, helplessness
Family surrounds
Hoping for a good report
Sharing our concerns
Worry covers every face
I ask God’s help at this time

Home Again
Home looks the same
Nothing has changed but me
Taking baby steps
Now recovery begins
I’m learning to walk again

Swoosh!
Corner of Life
What Once Was…
I took this photo at a house that had been foreclosed on. It prompted this poem.
