Abounding in fruit
Aged life forecast
Fresh and flourishing
Haiku
Based on Psalm 92:14
“They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be fresh and flourishing,”
Tag: old age
Caducity Conquered
He speaks to me
In my infirmity
Feebleness
Shall not reign
I am fresh and flourishing
As His Strength triumphs
Shadorma
They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be fresh and flourishing,
Psalm 92:14 KJV
Autumn Thoughts
Beauty
In the brown and gold
Tears for times
Past when we
Young and verdant without care
Lived the high life
Shadorma
Who Will Catch Me When I Fall
Like a fading leaf
I wonder as I age
And detach from life
On my aged tree
Just what the end will be
I am trusting and
Praying that God’s angels
Catch me when I fall
Asleep on this earth
And like the wind
Gently take me up
To my eternal home
Where I will live on
In the God’s presence
On His Tree of Life

Lives Of Leaves
Once prominent
A vibrant crown of glory
Rustling and bustling
Sheltering new life on high
And offering shade
Now a colorful blanket
Looked down upon
Trampled without thought, deemed useless
Until wind carries them away
Choka
Legacy of the Leaves
Leaves in Fall dress
Beauty in the golden years
Senior Prom Night
Haiku.
Enjoying Life!
Fading Flowers
Blooms
Withered
Growing old
Stems now fragile
Petals paper thin
Heads beginning to droop
Yet their sweet fragrance wafts
The room fills with their pleasant scent
And my eyes only see their beauty
Reverse Nonet
To My Younger Self
I once was you before you were me.
If I’d known then, what I know now,
I would have told you this:
Remember your creator
in the days of youth,
And listen to
Your parents
Stories,
For
Times
Will come
When you will
Wish you had done
All of that and more.
I would have told you
To plan well for your future
Since someday you would grow old,
Wish you had, but it would be too late.
Nonet and Reverse Nonet
Who am I?
I am a million thoughts,
Images and feelings,
Held together by hopes,
Dreams and will.
I am a broken heart,
Mending.
A dreamer, chasing.
A child, exploring.
I am youth and old age,
Combined in mind and body,
Held together by God.

Take Time to Care
I hope you enjoyed my first Triple Shadorma poem that was inspired by encountering this little leaf.
I dedicate this poem to all the elderly people who are now in nursing homes or care centers living out their lives perhaps in loneliness, hopelessness, or feeling no one cares. This little leaf I saw today reminded me of them.
This leaf reminded me to stop in the middle of my busy life to think of ways to reach out and care for others.
I am glad I am a part of a ministry (Expressions of Miriam Ministries) that volunteers to go into these homes to visit with the people there and perhaps uplift and encourage them in some way by bringing the joy of life and the love of God into their waning lives.
