June’s fourth is calling me to “Come!
Visit before this day is done,
See the beauty created for you,
Smell the flowers, enjoy the sun.”
Yet, indoor tasks are pressing me
To focus on the mundane.
What shall I do? A choice is due,
For this June day will not come again.

Delightful day with friends
Sunshine,flowers,laughter,lunch
New memories made
Dahlia you look so delicate,
Dressed in very light pink.
Petals perfectly poised.
So well , they interlink!
Pretty as a pinwheel.
Your beauty brightens my day.
Glad to make your acquaintance,
This beautiful morning in May!

Cheerfulness,
Scattered along the path.
Simplicity,
Growing near the roadway.
Joyfulness,
In this common little flower,
Innocently,
Brings delight to my day.

A day filled with triumph,achievement, and victory,
was turned into chaos and misery
for many runners and their family.
What a senseless tragedy.
My heart goes out to those who were at the Boston Marathon today.

I always stand up for you.
I fight for what is right.
I give you my power.
I defend you with all my might.
Each day of your life,
You’ll always find me near,
Willing to comfort or counsel,
Keeping you from doubt or fear.
I’m your Super-Hero.
The Helper is My Name.
I’m a gift from on high,
An eternal flame.

“Think it, don’t say it”
I’ve often said.
Cruel words are better,
Just left in the head.
For when your day is over ,
You will be so glad instead
If you hold your tongue from speaking,
Those negative thoughts in your head.
