My inner child’s asking
“Whose hand are you holding
As you walk today?”
“If it’s the Hand of Pleasure,
She will lead astray”
“If it’s the Hand of Worry
You’ll have a bad day”
“I’m holding the Hand of God”
I say, ” So I’ll always be okay”

A Visit and a Gift
Little surprises are best
Monoku
Feeling blessed. Grand-daughter stopped by with this little plant for me. She said she was thinking of me and saw this little plant and got it for me. What a nice surprise it was! She’s such a thoughtful, sweet girl!
Give Thanks
Dont let this day come to an end
Without a word of thanks for it
Whether you faced foe or friend
Dont let this day come to an end
Until a word of thanks you extend
Thank God for life-every bit
Dont let this day come to an end
Without a word of thanks for it

Life’s Seasons
People come and go
Things change like Fall leaves
And we must detach
With a quiet acceptance
Or fly away with the wind

All Ages
Like Prune or Plum
Yourh snd Aged have value
Both beneficial
Both can share something
That society truly needs

Right Time–Right Place
Just a tiny flower
Blooming in an obscure place,
Who would even notice
Its happy smiling cheeful face?
A sadden soul stops and picks.

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do. –Mother Teresa

An active seeker
Searching for hidden treasure
In the wrong area

Leaf Legacy
Living
Among shadows
Of the past’s occurances
Alone I face the future
Certain
That my life was not in vain
It was orchestrated
For a purpose
Fulfilled

Based on Psalm 138:8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. (ESV)
