Thanks to Suzanne Eller ( @suzanneeller on Twitter ) who’s tweet on twirling today inspired me to write this poem.

Night Woes
Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5 NKJV
[NaPoWriMo–Day 6] [April 2014 PAD Challenge–Day 6: Night Poem]
From Grandma’s Eyes
The Thief in the Night
Beware of the thief in the night
He only comes to kill, steal and destroy
His entrance is a sorry plight
To remove peace and take away joy
He only comes to kill,steal and destroy
His agenda includes an evil plan
To remove peace and take away joy
And he uses confusion and chaos whenever he can
His agenda includes an evil plan
He kills hope and destroys dreams.
And he uses confusion and chaos whenever he can
His purpose is to remove all good it seems
He kills hope and destroys dreams
His entrance is a sorry plight
His purpose is to remove all good it seems
Beware of the thief in the night

Wisdom
And Adventure
Sit upon my shelves
Pages of words waiting to be read
By me
Each day
Stories and poems enrich my days
Emotionally filling
My heart and soul
With joy

Writing poems makes each day different
Often they bring bewilderment
Or joy to a humdrum day
Their creation is my pay
As thoughts take on form
Not always norm
They excite
Ignite

Melting snow
Removing ice

Advent Joy
Joyful Candle!
Lit, it rejoices in Hope!
Peace’s light shines
Even brighter!
All invite the world to rejoice
And be glad today!

(Celebrating Joyfully the third week of Advent)
A Guy named George
I met a guy named George today,
Quite a character was he.
97 years old,
And still full of glee!
He came into the room singing,
Every song mentioned he did know.
Verse by verse he’d sing them out,
He really stole the show!
Our Dance Team came prepared,
Joy and happiness to bring.
Yet it was we who were blessed,
As we listened to George sing.
George showed forth a true joy,
That only faith in God can bring,
As he smiled and encouraged all,
To just open up and sing!

Empty Promises
Beautiful boxes sit all around me,
Some carefully wrapped with bows.
My joy fades as I open each one,
And find them empty.
