Tall, held up by
The Everlasting Arms of
The Eternal God, Whom is my refuge
And strength

The eternal God is your refuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms;

What can I say,
About this day?
If my wish were a horse,
I’d have used force,
And just galloped away,
Have my way, and not stay.
But determination won,
And I didn’t run!
This day was not fun,
But now it’s done.
I didn’t give up!
I drank of its bitter cup,
And I came thru,
Battered ‘tis true,
A bit worse for the wear,
But I don’t care!
I didn’t taste defeat,
And Victory’s so sweet!
Rhyme

With head held high and
Beak uplifted, drops of water
Slide down his craw
Refreshed, he moves on
To splash away his troubles
Tanka

Oh the joy your petals
Bring to a winter weary heart!
First rose of Springtime
Haiku

Listen and learn from
Amazing language of trees
Communicating
Rooted together as one
Sensitive to each need
Tanka
We humans would do well to learn from nature.
