The company you keep,” or
“Birds of a feather flock together”

Peace he sought to bring

I’ve Been to the Mountaintop”
“We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn’t matter with me now because I’ve been to the mountaintop… I’ve looked over and I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.” —Martin Luther King speech, April 3, 1968
(In tribute to a great man who left us too soon.)
Lifelines Needed
In this ol’
Life at times
We find we’re
Just able
To stay afloat
And tread water
Not moving
Not going
Just keeping
Our heads up
Until someone
Helps us out
By throwing
Us out a
Lifeline
Syllablic Verse
Be that someone-throw out a lifeline to somebody in need.
Fly Away from Fear
Fly above the waters of doubt
Don’t let them drown and destroy your dreams
Don’t let your fears hold you down
Soar to the brights skies beyond
Keep looking ahead
Gather your strength
Never give
Fear a
Chance

Again and Again
Praise the Lord’s name
At sunrise
And when the sun sets

Based on Psalm 113:3
Daydreaming on a Dreary Winter Day
Dreaming
Of warm soft breezes
Where colorful flowers
Dance to the sound of birdsong
Springtime

FLOWERS
Flowers erase frowns and
Lift spirits.
On days when the
World seems colorless and
Everything is dreary, flowers
Remind us to
Stop, smile, and seek beauty everywhere
Acrostic
The Tree of Love
Hearts blossom and grow
Nurtured with compassion
On the Tree of Love

Much like
Looming
