I am at crossroads
Today I have to make a choice
Which road shall I take
One marked Fear or Faith
Mind reels toward Fear
Heart wants to step out on Faith
Truth tells me to trust
And boldly take the step
To walk on Faith’s road today

Fruitful
I’m seeking to live
A life that shows forth joy
In all circumstances
Filled with the Christ’s fragrance
And the fruit of His Spirit
Tanka
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22,23
Right Road
In the course of life
Checking my moral compass
Choosing the high road
Haiku
On This Mother’s Day
My mind has begun
Traveling Memory’s Road
To my Mother’s house

The City
Grey skies hover
Over grey buildings
Cold concrete
Grey highways
Lifeless yet full of life
Breathing in its grey air

Birdseed Bandit
There once was a brown squirrel
Who upon a bird feeder did swirl
He tried to get a treat
But trouble he did meet
When he got dizzy from the twirl

Looking good on the outside
Take a second glance

Time Goes By
Day becomes night so soon
No sooner than the sun rises
Then there comes the moon
Day becomes night so soon
Quickly morning turns to afternoon
Time never apologizes
Day becomes night so soon
No sooner than the sun rises

In Honor of Lost Socks
No sock left behind
Remember those lost socks
That served you well
Whether white, red, grey, black
Honor them on this day in May
Tanka
No Sock Left Behind: things you can do with that one mismatched sock. Donate mismatched socks to:
Help Restore Sight in Poor Communties
Help the Homeless-The Joy of Sox
Or get Crafty and make something with them
Iris Day
Greek goddess
Or a garden flower
Fleur-de-lis
Coat of Arms
Whether banner or symbol
Iris celebrates
