Unique,
Trying to grow tall,
Feeling you don’t fit in
With all those who surround you.
Listen!
Listen!
Don’t you dare give up trying!
Look up, reach for the sky!
You do have a
Purpose.
Butterfly Cinquain
Tag: never give up
Never Give up
Are you
Facing a rock
Being seen as unwanted
Seeing your chance for wishes
Cut down
Before
They had the opportunity to
Become airbourne
Never give up
Stand firm
Dig in
Let your faith grow
Deep, be tenacious, for
Someday, someone will stop
Admire
And see
Your beauty and your true worth
For we all have a purpose
That’s waiting to be
Fulfilled

Today as I was out walking I stopped near this big rock where I saw two dandelions blooming and one that had gone to seed lying down on the ground as if crushed, probably by the landscapers mower hitting it.
It intrigued me enough to snap a picture and also was inspiration for this poem.
Prevailing in Place
Snoopy never gave up the fight
Though the enemy came on strong
Attacking all that was good and right
Snoopy never gave up the fight
He fearlessly fought with all his might
Against the things he knew were wrong
Snoopy never gave up the fight
Though the enemy came on strong

I drew this picture for my daughter who has been a #Snoopy fan since she was a little girl.
She saw a picture yesterday of just Snoopy’s doghouse, no Snoopy on top of it as he was “Sheltering in Place”.
It made us both feel so sad, 😥 that I told her I would draw him as the Red Baron with a mask on, signifying he was staying strong and not giving up.

Stay Positive
Times are sad
But dont dwell on on the bad
Stay calm and do your part
Keep hope alive in your heart
Don’t let fear creep in
Stay positive to win
Soon too, this will pass
Vanish as vaporous gas
We must stand strong en masse

Be A Dandelion
Tenacious
Like a dandelion
Persistent
Determined
Holding strongly on to life in
Any circumstance

“This Too Shall Pass”
Troubles
Like storm clouds
Floating into our lives
Will flow out like river water
Fear not!
Cinquain
(My mom lived in and survived the Great Depression. “This Too Shall Pass” was one of her favorite sayings. It is also becoming one of mine.)
Can Do Attitude
I can,
You can, we can
Banish the can’t thinking
Never let that apostrophe
Control
Cinquain
Everyone Has Their Days
Physically on earth
We will lose sometimes.
Yet, Spiritually,
We who are in Christ are winners,
For In Him is victory.
Tanka
Today, on earth, the groundhog didn’t see his shadow so Spring won and Winter lost.
Today on earth, at the Super Bowl, the KC Chiefs won and the San Francisco 49ers lost.
Today, somewhere on earth, someone in the world received Christ as their Lord and Savior and the devil lost.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ 1Corinthians 15:57
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1John 5:4
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
Nonet
Last Leaf
When all else fails
Remaining immovable
Holding on to life
