Glimpse of Spring
I saw Spring today
Peeking out from her winter place
A Purple Crocus

The Promise Of Spring
Oh worry not weary one
Spring shall surely come
Winter shall soon be done
Oh worry not weary one
Spring’s life has begun
And winter must succum
Oh worry not weary one
Spring shall surely come

Syllable Lune
On my walk this evening I saw this beautiful rose in bloom in a yard I was passing by. It seemed to be glowing in the evening sunlight. I could not just pass it by without taking a photo. I just love its multi colors. Such beauty needs to be remembered!
Solitary Sight
A flower’s purpose
Is to seek to grow and bloom
Wherever planted.
On my walk today, when I saw this little purple petunia in bloom, looking so pretty and strong though growing all alone in an obscure place, I had to stop to admire it.
It wasn’t in a big beautiful garden. It didn’t have ideal soil and light, but it still grew and bloomed.
And whether anyone else noticed it there in its little corner of the world, didn’t really matter, because it did what it was supposed to do. It fulfilled its purpose. And in doing so, it inspired me.
This made me think about my life, my purpose, my growth, and it was good food for thought as my tummy made hungry sounds causing my feet to make their way towards home as the sun begun to set on another Summer day.

Knowing your purpose
Seeking to ways to fulfill
Leads to accomplishment

The Word
Soon
The grass
And the flowers
Will fade away
The lovely sounds
Smells and the sights of summer
Will all be gone from us
But the word of our God will stand
Strong, secure and true forever more

Slipping Away
Each day you were here
Your presence
Envoked me to cheer
But now I’m trading
Cheer away
Fragrance fading
Color growing dim
Life ebbing
Losing all your vim
I am losing you
Never more
To be within view
With a tear in my eye
My sweet rose
I bid you goodbye
Your petals I’ll keep
As they fall
Like tears I weep
