Not Tomorrow’s dreams

He cares
If you’re alone
If others have left you
If you need strength to bear the load
God cares
Seek Him
At times you need help and comfort
When your heart is broken
When you’re downcast
He cares
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you. 1 Peter 5:7 NLT

Syllable Lune

Take time for tea and cookies, your busy schedule can wait;
Take time for tea and cookies…now… before it gets too late.
The steamy flavors of the tea will soothe your cares away,
And the cookie melting in your mouth will add a little sunshine to your day.
So, go ahead, make time for tea and cookies, and never regret the time you use;
For memories are made and dreams are built, in the quiet moments that you choose.

Each day I can learn
Something new if I only
Use my five senses

Ah, the sounds of Fall.
Birds gathering to fly south,
Chatter as they flock,
And the trees rustle their leaves,
In tune with the wind’s music.
Tanka

Dinner with grandsons
Serving love, hope, dreams, laughter
Sharing more than food
All of us leave satisfied
Quality family time

In an attractive cloth bag
Freshly picked apples
A fall culinary treat
A gift from a friend
Sharing her bounty
Apple pie
Soon!
Epulaeryu

(This is my first attempt at writing a Epulaeryu. It was a fun challenge!
I want to thank Daisy Mariposa for her excellent Hub on Poetry Forms
for that is where I first learned of this Epulaeryu poetry style.
And, of course, my friend Bonnie, for the lovely apples which inspired me to write this!)
